The black B2D Directional Lavalier Mic, Low Gain, with Detachable TA4F Connector Cable for Electrovoice 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 detachable cable that terminates to a TA4F connector for direct connection to Electrovoice BP-300, BPU-2, BPU-2Pro, BPU-2Pro-REF, BPU-R, CSB-1000, NBPU, NBPU-G, WTU-2, and RE3-BPT wireless bodypack transmitters.

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. Can anyone vouch - from experience - for how well the limiters protect against clipping? (I've never got much benefit from the Zoom H5's compressor/limiter set, whereas the H5's back-up file option - at -12dB - is extremely reliable and effective.)

A: The limiter works fine.

Q: 2. Does the line-in record in stereo?

A: Yes as long as you are using 3.5mm stereo jacks on both ends.

Q: 3. Whats it like with a Sony ECM-DS70P

A: The ECM-DS70P (B&H # SOECMDS70P) is compatible for use with the H1n, but you may find that you get better sounding results using the recorder's built-in stereo X/Y mic. If you do connect an external mic to the H1n, the built-in X/Y mic will be disabled.

Q: 4. Will this work if connected with a USB-C adapter?

A: Yes, you can use a USB-C adapter like the Apple USB Type-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APMU7E2AMA) or the BOYA 3.5mm TRRS Female to USB Type-C Male Adapter Cable (B&H # BOBYK9) with the Sennheiser MKE 200 Mobile Kit. As another option, instead of using a USB-C adapter, you can get a dedicated cable like the Saramonic 3.5mm Locking Male to USB Type-C Converter Cable (B&H # SAUTCC35) to use with the mic instead of using a USB-C adapter with one of the included mic cables.

Q: 6. How does the microphone connect to an iPhone lightning port?
