"I’m particularly impressed with how clean sounding and quiet they are. There’s never any muffled sound from the cables and they are both extremely small—making them a great choice when the mic needs to remain out of sight. Equally important, since the mics are moisture resistant, they’re an ideal choice for use under the lights, as they don’t get affected by perspiration, which can be a problem for other microphones. As far as deciding which mic to use on the talent: I’ll frequently try both to determine the best choice in any given situation.”

"Mics are such an important part of the entertainment business and, especially so in the musical theater world, where it is very important to have a product that performs consistently. At the Candlelight, it is imperative that every word is heard all the time. The Countryman B3s are a powerful and durable product that provides the clarity and consistency I need for our shows. My inventory of lavalier microphones is now exclusively Countryman B3s.”

“The theatre department likes the Countryman product for a number of reasons,” he said. “Every night, these mics stand up to the rigors of musical theatre and deliver consistent audio performance. I’ve found the Countryman mics to be really rugged. They hold up remarkably well—even through rapid wardrobe changes.”

"I use the Countryman EMW attached to an H20 Audio armband that has been modified to hold a Zaxcom ZFR100 audio recorder. This enables me to capture ambient sounds that can be inserted into a film during audio post production. I can send someone who’s been ‘wired up’ out to record the sound of breaking waves. This technique was used on a forthcoming film called Of Men and Mavericks, starring Gerard Butler and Elizabeth Shue. The EMW’s deliver absolutely amazing ambient sound.”
