The Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Microphone is a miniature lavalier microphone for general public speaking, interviews, stage performances, video and film shoots, houses-of-worship applications and much more.

The capsule measures 0.2" 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).

A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is black and features a Locking 1/8" (3.5mm) Mini connector for Sennheiser transmitters.

Miniature Unobtrusive Capsule
The miniature capsule measures only 0.2" (5.08mm) in diameter. The B3 is available in various colors that will virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin. This version B3 is black and more information on which color suits you best, can be found on the Countryman support page.
Moisture Resistant Frequency Caps
Three frequency response altering caps provide flat, bright and very bright high-frequency enhancement. In addition the caps are resistant to moisture caused by perspiration, make-up, humidity, etc.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The omnidirectional polar pattern is most effective in minimizing wind noise, plosives (popping) and handling noise.
Sensitivity Optimized for Strong Vocals
The B3 is available in two sensitivities. This version is optimized to accurately capture strong audio signals without peak distortion and noise, also providing optimum results when placed in hair for theater applications.

    Comments about Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black):

    After my sennheisser wireless repeatedly broke at the contact point I discovered these Countryman mics. This mic is Soooooo much better in terms of sound and durability! It even comes in a durable case with mic capsule options. Highly Recommended.

      Comments about Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black):

      I purchase the B3's instead of the B6's because they are more rugged. They are slightly larger but I feel like this increases the response the microphone is getting from the vocal range. Trustworthy enough that I could just send a PA to grab a new one when went missing at the last minute.
