The cocoa B2D Directional Lavalier Mic, Standard Gain, with Hardwired 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 highest gain for general chest-worn applications such as presentations or sermons. In addition, the B2D lavalier is equipped with a hardwired 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").

Standard (gray band) for most uses

Q: 5. Will these work for stage singing, i.e., a musical with four singers, in both open spaces and closed venues? Thanks

A: This system could be a viable option for stage performance, but it depends on a few factors. First, know you will need 4 of these systems to allow for 4 wireless mics to run at the same time. Second, you would need to confirm which frequencies are available in your performance area, this would tell you what frequency ranges to use and whether this system can hand 4 mics at one time. This can be done using Shure's Wireless Frequency Finder. We would recommend giving us a call at 800-606-6969 to assist in finding that information. Lastly for musicals, you'd probably want a lower profile lav mic you could hide on the performers head, or in a costume. Here's a recommendation for that type of mic BH #SHTL47TOMTQG.

Q: 6. Hı , can this microphone be connected to Asio sound interface to record directly to computer?

A: Unfortunately no, because this microphone uses a TA4F connector, it is meant to be specifically hooked up to a Shure wireless body pack that accepts this type of connector. There are ways around this, but I would suggest using a different microphone that has a standard TRS or XLR connector.

Q: 7. what kind of adapter do I need to convert this to wired for use with the XLR inputs on my Zoom H4 recorder?

A: The Shure Wired TwinPlex Microphone Preamp with Belt Clip (TA4F to XLR) (BH #SHRPM400TQG) is recommended to convert the TA4F connector on the Shure CVL Centraverse Cardioid Lavalier Microphone to XLR for use with XLR input connections: https://bhpho.to/3QsFd6O
