The white B2D Directional Lavalier Mic, Low Gain, with Hardwired 4-Pin Hirose 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 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-T1801, ATW-T201, ATW-T210, ATW-T210a, ATW-T27, ATW-T31, ATW-T310, ATW-T310b, and ATW-T51 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 bluetooth model enable control of multiple units at the same time? Or is it just able to connect to one recorder at a time?

A: It will only record to one recorder at a time.

Q: 2. can i add rode videomic ntg on this?

A: Yes, you can use a standard TRS cable for the 3.5mm output. Since the F2 has a locking connector, use a cable like the Sennheiser CL1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Output Cable for EW Series Camera-Mount Receiver (B&H# SECL1) which has a non-locking 3.5mm TRS connector on one side and a locking 3.5mm TRS connector for the recorder's input. This cable is 20" long but you can use a standard aux extension cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Female Audio Cable - 10' (B&H# HOSMMSMF10) or any similar cable in the length you need. Connect the male end to the mic's output and the female end will connect to extend the length of the cable connected to the F2's locking input.

Q: 3. Can it work with a Sanken COS-11D lav mic?

A: No, the Sanken COS-11D Lavalier Microphone is not compatible for use with the Zoom F2 Field Recorder. The mic requires 3 to 10V of plug-in power and the recorder can only supply 2.5V.

Q: 4. Can I use it with the Sennheiser MKE 600? Will I need an attenuation cable?

A: The MKE600 will work with no other adapters needed

Q: 5. Could you put this recorder and mic on a table and record an interview or group conversation with a single mic and device?

A: Yes, but you will need to use a different microphone. The Olympus ME-33 Boundary Microphone (B&H #OLME33) is a boundary microphone that is designed to pickup conversation from a group of people. It operates using plug-in power and has a 3.5mm connector on the attached cable. Since the F2 has a locking 3.5mm input, you will need to use an adapter that has the same type of connector such as the Sennheiser CL1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Output Cable (B&H #SECL1). You can join the CL1 with the mic's cable using a Hosa Technology GMM303 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini to 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini Adapter (B&H #HOASMFSMF).

Q: 6. Can you have 2 mics recording at once with this device for an interview?

A: No. This will ony allow recording form one microphone.

Q: 7. The Zoom F2 records in mono only, is that correct? So only 1 channel can be recorded, right?

A: Correct! The Zoom F2 Ultracompact Portable Field Recorder with Lavalier Microphone (BH #ZOF) records mono tracks only. It records the same mono audio on both the left and right channels with the included single-element microphone.

Q: 8. Can this record stereo if using an adapter for the mic input?

A: The F2 does record audio on two channels. When using the included microphone (which has a single mic element and a 3.5mm TRS locking connector) the audio recorded is dual mono, so it is the same audio on both the left and right channels. An actual stereo microphone uses two individual elements to deliver different audio on the left and right channels. Using an adapter for the mic input of the F2 may not provide actual stereo separation. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website if you would like further assistance.

Q: 9. I like using ferrite on my ipad to edit. Will 32 bit pose any problem?

Q: 10. The Boundary Microphone: I have a delightful number of Shure MX 391/O Boundary Microphones. If I use an adaptor, would I be able to use that microphone with the Zoom F2?

A: If you used an adapter that provided phantom power yes. The Zoom will not provide the power needed for you mics.
