Countryman B6 Omni Lavalier Microphone

Only one tenth of an inch in diameter, the Countyman 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.

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.

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.
