Countryman B3 for loud shows

(1/3) > >>

pillowman:
òla together !

I have my hands on 2 Countryman B3 mics which I like to use in loud, amplified rock concert situations.
the modell is called: Countryman Isomax B3 Lavalier,  Omnidirectional
Typ: B3W 4FF 05 BSL
with TA4 Female for Shure plug

is this the right microphone for my needs or do I need a different one.
I am a bit uncertain because Countryman offers some 'different versions' of the B3.

Also do I need to get these little bastards modded, ... my rig would be M10 + 12V bbox + 2x B3's

further more if the modd is necessary what's the right resistor  :shrug: 2,2 or 4,7 k ... hm

Any help is appreciate - THANKS !

i had some b3s that did not do too well with loud volumes. but i was using a funky power supply so i could go line in into a dat. i would recommend dpa4061s. those can handle any levels.

fandelive:
You'll need the 4.7k mod to use the B3's for loud shows.

Fwiw, my b3’s when used with my 9100 have never failed me at loud shows.  Mine have no mod.

It's pending on the type of B3, you may have the Countryman B3 Omnidirectional Low-sensitivity Lavalier Microphone Item ID: B3W5FF05LSR . I bought some years ago and Chris Church did the mod for me.
