The light beige Countryman B2D Lavalier Mic for Sony Wireless Transmittersfrom Countryman B2D Lavalier Mic for Sony Wireless Transmittersfeatures 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 medium gain for very loud speaking, such as in theater performances and most vocals. In addition, the B2D lavalier is equipped with a detachable cable that terminates to a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Sony UTX-B03, UTX-B1, UTX-B2, and WRT-805A 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").

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What would be your frequency recommendation for someone who is traveling a lot in the U.S. (mostly in the midwest but occasionally the coasts)?

A: Any of these frequency bands will work just fine anywhere in North America under current FCC regulations. Part of the reason there are different bands is so that you can use many systems at the same time and within the same space so that they do not interfere with each other. Another reason is if you are going to be using the system in a place where there are already many other wireless systems, you can choose the one that resides outside of the frequency band that those systems run in, to avoid interference with those systems. If you are not going to be in a space where there is already a lot of wireless traffic, then any of these will work just fine, up to 300 feet line of sight between the transmitters and the receiver.

Q: 2. What would be your frequency recommendation for using it in a project in Spain?
