Description
Don’t let the size fool you. The Countryman B6 packs professional-grade omnidirectional performance into a capsule barely 0.1 inch (2.5mm) in diameter, making it the smallest lavalier microphone available anywhere. This XLR3 male-terminated version (B6P4FF05B) is built to interface directly with balanced inputs, giving sound designers and mixers a plug-and-play option for theater, broadcast, and house-of-worship rigs.
What makes the B6 stand out isn’t just its size—it’s how it performs despite it. The mic tolerates sound pressure levels up to 140 dB with minimal distortion, so it stays composed on loud vocalists or brass-heavy stages. An ultra-thin diaphragm and aramid-reinforced cable keep handling noise to a minimum while surviving the daily abuse of touring and live production.
Concealment is where the B6 really earns its reputation. Swappable protective caps not only shield the capsule from sweat and makeup, they also let you tailor the frequency response on the fly to match different voices or other mics in your rig. Because the capsule is smaller than most competitors’ cables, hiding it in hair, on skin, or under costuming is far easier—and the detachable connector design means it can be repurposed across different wireless transmitters and recorders.
