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 hardwired 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. True diversity only in single channel mode - so I can't have 2 mics in true diversity?

A: The Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver does not utilize true diversity when operating in dual-channel mode.

Q: 2. Is there a cable/adapter to use a sanken cos-11BP mic with this system?

A: The Sanken COS-11D-BP Lavalier Microphone has a standard XLR male connector and requires 48V phantom power to function, so it is not compatible for connection to a wireless transmitter with a simple cable adapter. In order to connect the COS-11D-BP to a Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter for the UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Lavalier Microphone System, you will need to connect the mic a phantom power supply first to provide sufficient voltage to the microphone, and then you can use an XLR female to locking 3.5mm TRS Sony cable to connect the output from the phantom power supply to the input on the transmitter. As an option, you can use the Xvive Audio P1 Portable Phantom Power Supply with Rechargeable Battery (B&H # XVP1) together with the Sony EC-1.5BX 3.5mm Locking Mini-Plug to Female XLR Cable - 4.9' (B&H # SOEC1.5BX). The Xvive P1 is lightweight and has a built-in rechargeable battery, as well as a belt clip.

Q: 3. Is the dual audio output compatible with mirrorless cameras like the Nikon Z9? Or how would I input both mics to the camera? I'm trying to go an interview style film with 2 talents. Thank you.

Q: 4. Can I use the Sony UWP-D27 to wirelessly feed a Sony A7s from my mixer’s two channel output?

A: Yes, the UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless System can be used to send a line signal from the left and right outputs of your mixer to your Sony a7s Mirrorless Camera. The 2 x UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitters can send the independent left and right outputs of your mixer to the URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver. The left and right outputs of the URX-P41D Receiver can then send a stereo line signal to your Sony a7s Mirrorless Camera by utilizing the XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit (sold separately).

Q: 5. Are there any advantages or disadvantages of using the UC90 version? Is it true that a license is required to use this band.

A: No license is required to use any version of the Sony UWP-D27 within the USA. There is no objective benefit to any frequency block over another, as the frequencies used has no direct effect on audio quality. The only case in which you would prefer one frequency block over another would be if 1. there is radio activity/interference within one band in your area, or 2. if you need to ensure compatibility between this and another Sony wireless device.

Q: 6. Hi. Will the range UC25 (536 to 608) work in Europe as well? Thank you.

A: The Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for UC25: 536 to 608 MHz may work in Europe. The frequency bands for wireless microphone systems differ in every country, so you will need to check the FCC regulations for the country where you will be to make sure that this frequency band can be used for unlicensed or licensed wireless microphones.

Q: 7. I'm in Denver and I cannot decide which frequency block to get. If anyone can help me decide, and explain why, that would be lovely!

A: The UC14: 470 to 542 MHz and UC25: 536 to 608 MHz frequency bands for the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System are both very good options for use in Denver, Colorado. Each band has 2,772 auto-scan frequencies so there are plenty of individual frequencies within the band to be able to find clear frequencies to use for transmitting audio and avoiding strong broadcast signal from local radio and TV stations.

Q: 8. 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: 9. What frequency would you recommend for Washington DC?

A: Radio activity varies by day, but for crowded metropolitan areas the UC90 band of the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System is usually safest.

Q: 10. How do the sony mics sound compared to the sennheiser (g3,g4)?

A: The Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System is an excellent wireless microphone system and very comparable to the Sennheiser EW 112P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System. Both systems are very popular, however, Sennheiser does not offer a dual-channel camera-mount receiver, so for a camera-mount system with two transmitters, the Sony UWP-D27 is a great option.
