The tan B6 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic, Very Low Sens, with Detachable Hardwired 3-Pin XLR Connector from Countryman is a very small lav microphone measuring one tenth of an inch in diameter with changeable protective caps, which provide moisture resistance and color options. The mic can be used to capture audio for theater, broadcast, churches, and general lavalier applications.

Built with a low handling noise and rugged construction, the B6 lavalier microphone can be easily hidden in hair or on costumes, or taped to a performer's face. The aramid cable and ultra-thin diaphragm deliver a natural sound while its tiny size makes the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

Additionally, swappable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or match other microphones. The B6 microphone is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps. These caps can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.

Unobtrusive
Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B6 is easily hidden in hair or on costumes, or taped to a performer's face. Never suffer the hassle and degraded sound quality of under-clothing miking again.
Rugged and Reliable
The B6 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps, and is well-suited to use in the hair or on the body. The protective caps are easily removed for cleaning or replacement, and the aramid-reinforced cable gives it durability.
Refined Sound Quality
The B6 provides professional-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB on 48V phantom power. The aramid cable and ultra-thin diaphragm combine to deliver very low handling noise. The tiny size and natural sound pickup make the B6 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.
Versatile
Swappable, protective caps allow you to shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. The hardwired XLR connector allows you to interface with other preamps, amplifiers, mixers, and other equipment.
Sensitivity
Very low, mic near user's mouth.

question

Cananyone tell me how this performs if you have two speakers close to each other? Is there significant mic bleed between two mics in close proximity (like guest/host interview?) And if used over a PA or speaker system, does the PA bleed into the Mic? Thanks!
Asked by: Brian
Two people can be sitting or standing next to each other and there will be minimal bleed. These mics are omnidirectional, but are finely tuned to supress feedback, if P.A. speakers are placed in front of the talent, facing away. I would recommend this pick-up pattern to allow subjects to move their heads back and forth, without volume fluctuating.
