The black Tram TR50 is a miniature omnidirectional lavalier microphone designed to deliver clear speech and dialog with a natural sound that mixes well with boom microphones, making it popular among professional sound recordists working in TV, film, broadcast, videography, and more.

The mic's omnidirectional polar pattern provides a generous 360° pickup response that helps to keep levels consistent, even if the talent turns and isn't speaking directly in the direction of the capsule. The flat, upward facing design allows the mic to be easily concealed while also helping it to resist clothing and rustling noises.

The TR50 features a 40 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response with a gentle 3 to 4 dB boost in the high frequencies for added clarity with minimum sound coloration, especially helpful if the mic is hidden behind clothing or fabric. Well suited to wireless applications, the mic features a 4.5' cable available in a variety of connectors for direct integration with bodypack transmitters. This model features a TA4F connector wired for use with select Vega transmitters.

This version of the TR50 is wired with a positive bias which means that, in addition to being powered by your wireless transmitter, it can also be used for wired XLR applications by plugging into the TR79+ power supply (included). A tie bar, tie tac, clip-on holder, and tape-down holder are provided to help you mic up your subject. A windscreen, cable holder, cable reel, and carrying case are also included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will the 12G version convert a 12G SDI signal to 3G SDI signal?

A: No, the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 12G with Power Supply does not support signal format conversion when looping the output, meaning SDI in to SDI out or HDMI in to HDMI out will not support resolution conversion.

Q: 2. Can this input at 24p and output at 60p? What is the latency?

A: No, the BMD Micro Converter will not change the frame rate of the video signal. The converter has less than a single line of delay in most cases. However, depending on the signals you are converting, it could be up to a single frame at most.

Q: 3. I am trying to run the HDMI output from a Sony CX405 handheld camera to this BM HDMI to SDI 3G converter - then into a BM HyperDeck Studio Mini. The HyperDeck Mini is not recognizing the SDI out of the converter- but the output from the camera does display on a TV. Do I need to adjust settings on the camera?

A: We would suggest starting with a software update on the following converter. This should allow the unit to be recognized and push a signal through. If this does not work we suggest getting in contact with Black Magic support team directly.

Q: 4. Can this be used to monitor fullscreen images for Resolve and Avid, by using HDMI out to HDMI in?

A: No. This is a converter. To achieve the desired application you would use a Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G 3G-SDI/HDMI Playback Device - B&H#BLUSM3G.

Q: 5. Can this be configured to add a delay to the audio signal as part of the conversion?

A: No.

Q: 6. Can I use a normal phone power bank to power it?

A: Yes. Most any USB charger will work.

Q: 7. Does anyone know what is the length of USB-C power cord? From the product picture, power cord is not replaceable so I would like to know the length otherwise I may have to go with the non power cord version and get my own USB-C power cord and adaptor.

A: It's about 59 inches long.

Q: 8. Does this carry the SDI's audio signal through to the HDMI output or would we need a separate audio cable?

A: Yes. HD/SDI with embeded audio will become HDMI with embeded audio.

Q: 9. Can this be used to improve the latency on an external monitor caused by using a camera with HDMI only outputs, such as the GH5?

A: No, this converter will not help improve the latency.

Q: 10. I am using this to convert SDI from PTZoptics camera into ATEM Mini Pro. getting no signal. Thoughts? Camera works fine with straight HDMI cable but want a longer distance, so SDI was solution.

A: Some of these cameras will work at 30 FPS and lower but at higher frame rates do not output a standard SMPTE SDI signal. This may or may not be the cause. You might contact support in your region.
