Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black)
The Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Microphone is a miniature lavalier microphone for virtually invisible operation during stage performances, video and film shoots, houses-of-worship applications and general public speaking.
The capsule measures only 0.1" in diameter and is resistant to moisture, which allows for placement in hair and on bare skin. In addition, its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise and plosives (popping), making the B6 a favorite in theater applications.
A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is black and features a Switchcraft TA5-Female connector for Lectrosonics transmitters.
- Miniature Unobtrusive Capsule

- Omnidirectional Polar Pattern

Comments about Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black):
Its size make it a great choice when you need discreet mic placement. Often the head can be exposed and still be virtually invisible. The negative (fragile/easy to break) is also its greatest strength (so tiny and thin). Its a challenge if you feel you need to change out the response caps (maybe just for me?) but I'd give it 5 stars as a situational lav, not an every day lav.......... Oh yeah, sounds surprisingly good, too.

Comments about Countryman B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black):
Great sounding and incredibly invisible lav. I use it in docs for interviews or in narrative film for actors with tiny voices and wide shots where you can't get the boom close in. It is tiny, easy to hide and sounds quite good, especially combined with a pro wireless system like a Lectro.
