The black B2D Directional Lavalier Mic, Low Gain, with Hardwired cH-Style 4-Pin Connector Cable for Audio Technica Wireless Transmitters from Countryman features a lightweight 0.18-ounce body that was designed to be discreetly mounted and can be used for miking news anchors, actors in a film or theater setting, lecturers in a school or house of worship type environment.

The B2D's tight hypercardioid pattern gives the mic an extra 6-10 dB of headroom compared to an omnidirectional lavalier mic, which means less problems with feedback, ambient noise, room rumble, and phase cancellations when using multiple microphones.

This version offers the lowest gain for powerful vocals such as in opera, which requires a higher overload level. In addition, the B2D lavalier is equipped with a hardwired cable that terminates to a cH-style 4-pin connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-3201 wireless bodypack transmitters.

Hypercardioid Pattern    Fits Audio Technica Transmitters    Headroom for Operatic Vocals    Frequency Response Tuned for Speech    Discreet Design for Minimal Visibility    Includes Foam Windscreen    Single Isolation Clip    Protective Cap    Carrying Case

With its small size and sensitivity options, the B2D can easily hide behind a shirt button. This makes it invisible for film work, theater, live shows, or any other application.

Natural vocal reproduction and a tight polar pattern make the B2D ideal for broadcast and is a dependable workhorse you can count on to perform night after night.

The isolation clips minimize clothing and vibration noise while allowing 360° of rotation for easy positioning of the microphone.

This microphone is tuned to a frequency response that is natural and intelligible at a wide range of distances from the mouth. It delivers wonderful sound quality on the chest (8-10" from the mouth) or towards the collar (3-4").

Low (blue band, -20 dB re W4) for operatic vocals

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this kit on a Sony FS7 give the same practical focal length equivalent as a Canon 24-105 + 70-200 with a speed booster adapter?

A: The Fuji lens kit give you an 18mm to 135mm focal range. The Canon 24-105mm lens, if you multiply by the Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony E Mount T CINE Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (Fifth Generation) B&H # MEMBSPEFEBT3 0.71 factor gives you an effective 17mm to 95.85mm. So you get 1 more mm at the wide end, which helps, but you lose at the tele end a fair amount. I would say this is a good, affordable solution until you can get the Fujinon's.

Q: 2. Is this lens parfocal?

A: Yes, both lenses in the the Fujinon MK18-55 & MK50-135 T2.9 Cine-Style Lens Kit are parfocal. Generally speaking, cinema manual focus zoom lenses like these are parfocal whereas still auto focus zooms are not.

Q: 3. Are there any adapters that can be used to make this work with an Olympus WS-852 recorder?

A: Unfortunately not. The Olympus WS-852 has one 3.5mm mic input. Due to the locking collar on the lav's connector it is very unlikely that it will make contact as the recorder would need to have the same connector.
