Great lav mic with good versatility for narrative or docu style works. Comes with all you need and a nice carrying case. Connects flawlessly with my lectro 400 series.

Because capturing pristine audio is crucial for professional productions, the Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone stands out as a top-tier choice for industry experts. Designed with versatility and durability in mind, this high-quality lavalier mic boasts a 3.5mm non-locking connector, ensuring seamless compatibility with Amplivox S-1600T wireless transmitters. Its W5 (Red Band) mid-gain sensitivity is tailored for theater head miking, providing a balanced audio capture even in the most dynamic performance environments.

The B3's omnidirectional polar pattern excels in evenly picking up sound from all directions, making it an indispensable tool for single-speaker applications or when a natural ambiance is desired. The microphone's field-selectable high-frequency response caps allow for customizable sound tailoring, ensuring that whether you're conducting an intimate interview or capturing the nuances of a live stage performance, the audio quality remains exceptional.

Constructed with an aramid-reinforced cable, the B3 resists stretching and withstands the rigors of on-set use. Its ultra-thin diaphragm sets a new industry standard for low handling noise, while the robust protective caps offer unparalleled resistance to water, sweat, and makeup, safeguarding the microphone's integrity in even the most challenging conditions.

The B3's discreet design is perfect for on-camera appearances, easily concealed within hair or attached to costumes, with five color options to blend seamlessly with various clothing, hair, and skin tones. For near-invisible miking, the white caps can be customized with a felt tip marker, eliminating the compromises associated with under-clothing microphone placement.

Furthermore, the B3's changeable protective caps not only protect against foreign materials but also provide the flexibility to sculpt the frequency response. This feature allows audio professionals to adjust the "crispness" or "sibilance" of the sound, with +0 dB (Flat), +4 dB, and +8 dB options to cater to different recording scenarios or to match other microphones in a multi-mic setup.

Whether used as a discreet installation microphone, concealed within clothing for broadcast applications, or as a reliable hair mic in theater productions, the Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone delivers unparalleled audio quality, adaptability, and resilience, making it a high-value addition to any professional audio toolkit.
