The black B2D Directional Lavalier Mic, Low Gain, with Detachable TA4F Connector Cable for Beyerdynamic, Carvin, JTS, Shure, and Trantec 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 Beyerdynamic, Carvin, JTS, Shure, and Trantec TG 1000, TG 100B, UBP1000, UX16-BP, UXBP16, E-6TB, E-7TB(D), IN264TB, IN64TB, PG-36BG2, PT-850B, PT-850BD, PT900B, PT-920B, PT-920BG, PT-920BGmi, PT-920Bmi, PT-950, PT-950Bmi, RU-850LTB, RU-850TB, RU-988TB, RU-G3TB, UF-10TB, UF-20TB, BLX1, FP1, PG1, SLX1, UC1, ULX1, UR1, UR1M, S4.4-BTX, S5.3-BTX, and S5.5-BTX 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. Does the line-in record in stereo?

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

Q: 2. So can you use the silicone over and over and replace the tape on it ? I'm just hoping that buying a 3 pack means single use only

A: I have the three pack and use them a bunch! I've never used the tap included. I just use gaff tape. The tape they include is single use only, but the three pack basically means you can use three all at once, rather than using them only three times. The silicone is very sturdy and flexible. It holds up well!

Q: 3. 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.
