B3 OMNIDIRECTIONAL LAVALIER

PRODUCT FEATURES

Only one tenth of an inch in diameter, the B6 is the smallest lavalier in the world and outperforms microphones many times its size. The swappable protective caps provide moisture resistance and color options and let you shape the frequency response to suit different applications or to match other microphones. With exceptionally low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 is the ideal choice for theater, broadcast, churches, and general lavalier applications.

RUGGED AND RELIABLE

The B6 is exceptionally resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps, and is well-suited to use in hair or on the body. The protective caps are easily removed for cleaning or replacement, and the aramid-reinforced cable gives it world-class survivability.

VERSATILE

Swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. Detachable connectors allow you to interface to hundreds of wireless transmitters, recorders, and other equipment. Versions available for different speaking or singing styles, with up to 140 dB SPL capability.

UNOBTRUSIVE

Smaller than the cable of other lavaliers, the B6 is easily hidden in hair or on costumes, or taped to a performer’s face. The B6 comes in five colors to match clothing, hair, and skin tones, or use a felt tip marker to color the white caps for near-perfect concealability. Never suffer the hassle and degraded sound quality of underclothing miking again.

EXCEPTIONAL SOUND QUALITY

The highest-quality audio available in a lavalier mic. Low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB on 48 V Phantom Power. The aramid cable and ultra-thin diaphragm combine to set a new standard for low handling noise. The
tiny size and natural sound pickup make the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

“Because the B6 is so incredibly small and light, it performed like a champ and never required re-adjustment the entire day. The mic couldn’t be seen against the black shirt and it did a phenomenal job of capturing his voice. The B6 has great pick-up characteristics and delivered the broadcast quality sound I was looking for.”

- Bruno Strapko Independent location sound recordist, owner of Strapko Recorders

“For a series that showcases transportation technology, Translogic did a story on a water powered 'jet wakeboard' that literally enables the operator to fly as high as 40 feet while tethered to a personal watercraft. The Countryman B6 offers a wonderful, customizable sound by way of its interchangeable frequency response caps and its submersible design made it perfect for this project. ”
