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 (available separately). 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, and carrying case are also included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Why are people complaining about the "wonky" mic connector? Is it not a normal screw-down 1/8" input as found on other lav devices?

A: We are currently unfamiliar with any specific issues regarding the connector. This unit does have a threaded 1/8'' locking connection.

Q: 2. Any chance they might sell a cheaper version without the lav mic? I do not want to pay for low quality mics when I have my own.

A: No, the F2 is only available with the lav mic included. Recorders like the F2 are about the same size as a wireless bodypack transmitter and have a locking input connector which prevents the mic from accidentally disconnecting. The lav is included to assure that a compatible mic is used. The Zoom H1n 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Handy Recorder (B&H # ZOH1N) is lower in price and does not included a lav but does have a built-in X/Y microphone along with a single 3.5mm input capable of handling mic or line level input signals. The Tascam DR-05X 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Audio Recorder with Onboard Stereo Microphone (B&H # TADR05X) is similar to the H1n and also lower in price. Other ultra compact recorders that are about the same size as the F2, such as the Zoom F1, Tascam DR-10L, and Tentacle Sync Track E, sell for around the same price or are priced higher and include a lav mic.

Q: 3. Work with Sony RX100 v?

A: Yes, this would work with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V

Q: 4. Would the device be only working for the dedicated camera? i.e. the one that works for Nikon would not work for Fuji

A: That is correct.

Q: 5. Does this recorder support "plug in" mic power? (aka 3 volt or 5 volt "bias")

A: Yes, the F2 does supply plug-in power for condenser microphones. Just be aware that the input on the F2 uses a 3.5mm TRS locking connector like the one used on the Sennheiser ME 2-II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H #SEME2II).
