The strike has come to an end, and we’re all glad to hear it. I’m not going to discuss the politics of the situation, just that a resolution is […]

Countryman’s Tiny B6 Lav Mic
The latest entry in the already crowded field of lavalier microphones is the Countryman B6. With a diameter of approximately one tenth of an inch (2.5 mm), it is the smallest microphone available.
