The black Countryman B2D Lavalier Mic, Low Gain, TA3F Cable, AKG Wirelessfrom Countryman B2D Lavalier Mic, Low Gain, TA3F Cable, AKG Wirelessfeatures 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 lowest gain for powerful vocals such as in opera, which requires a higher overload level. In addition, the B2D lavalier is equipped with a hardwired cable that terminates to a TA3F connector for direct connection to AKG DPT800, DPT700, PT2000, PT40, PT400, PT4000, PT45, PT450, PT4500, PT470, PT60, PT61, PT80, and PT81 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").

Low (blue band, -20 dB re W4) for operatic vocals

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. AKG states that it can be used for Field Recording. Can a wind muff fit on this? If so, which one?

A: You can use a wind muff on the Lyra, but AKG does not have a specific wind muff or foam windscreen designed to fit. We have not tested any of the existing wind muffs for other products. The models we have for using with the built-in mics on portable recorders seem to be too small. Unfortunately we can not recommend any specific item that will properly fit the Lyra.

Q: 2. Will this work on the Sony transmitters like the D21? I know the polarity of the mic inputs is different to Sennheiser but not sure about the outputs.

A: It is not recommended to use the Cable Techniques Mini TRS to XLR Male Low-Profile Sennheiser Wireless Output Cable (18") with Sony receivers.

Q: 3. is the neck mic good for Documentary (Interview) ?

A: The mic picks up very well for the person wearing it. A second mic would be needed for the interviewer.

Q: 4. Is there a shock mount that will fit this microphone?

A: Sorry, no shockmount available for this microphone.

Q: 5. Can I use two body pack transmitters with this system?

A: Yes you can: Users can select up to 1200 frequencies across the 30MHz tuning range. This also allows for operation of up to 20 channels simultaneously within the same frequency band or up to 48 channels in multiple bands.

Q: 6. At what frequency do these operate?

A: A 537.500 MHz B 537.900 MHz C 539.300 MHz D 540.400 MHz

Q: 7. Does the use of this cable vs. the stock cable that comes with the G3/G4 receiver affect wireless performance? I ask this because the G3/G4 systems use the output cable as a second antenna.

A: Technically it could it usually is not a problem.

Q: 8. Will the receiver fit in a half rack case?

A: Hello! Its 4,5 cm high x 20 cm width x 16cm deepth

Q: 9. what is the distance of coverage?

A: Reliably up to 150' line of sight.

Q: 10. The Audio Bandwidth is listed twice. In one place it states 40 Hz to 20 KHz, while in the other it states 70 Hz to 20 KHz. Which one is right?

A: There are separate specs for the receiver and mic/transmitter. The receiver's range is 40 Hz to 20 kHz and the mic/transmitter's range is 70 Hz to 20 kHz.

[Plug-In Power] This is a great mic - it fits around the ear well and it is comfortable. The sound is crystal clear. 5

[Plug-In Power] I had commented before that I was very impressed with the quality of your attendance 5

[Hypercardioid] Going from a Shure WL93 to a Countryman E6 is like going from a Ford Pinto to a Audi A8. The Sound is fantastic. We work in an incredibly reflective, medium sized hall, and feedback is no longer an issue. The only issue that I've personally encountered is that we are still using Shure ULX wireless transmitters/recievers, and even with the gain on both maximized, it's still not quite enough. Having to then add gain on the board adds some unwanted background noise; however, I don't blame the mics for this issue, but instead our wireless system. Overall, Great mics. 5

[Plug-In Power] I use these in a corporate speech and presentation environment. I have tried other knock-offs some of these knock offs have good sound quality, but sacrifice build quality, some are built ok, but sound like you are talking into a bowl with literally nothing from the lower mids down. Some look bad and sound bad. The Countryman E6 is the best performing and longest lasting ear-set microphone I have ever tried. They are really expensive, but in my opinion if you have the budget, they are worth it. 5

Joy	16/07/2024
[Hypercardioid] Haven't had a chance to use the earset a whole lot yet, but like it so far! 5

[Plug-In Power] Great quality and design. 5

anyonymous	23/05/2024
[Plug-In Power] I use these in a performing arts center with a Sennheiser wireless system. They work so much better than lavaliere mics, due to their closer proximity to the mouth. Hardly any EQ is needed to get them sounding loud and present. Their tiny size truly makes them nearly invisible on stage. I have used these for years and keep buying them, despite other options that have cropped up in the last few years, Countryman has given me no reason to switch. 5

Leendah	12/04/2024
[Hypercardioid] Use them for recording many events and amplification for live events. Only lament is that they are a bit fragile. 5

Scott	12/04/2024
[Black] This replaces a previous Countryman mic - fits well and even better with the brace that goes over the other ear. Great mic for speaking 5

Omar	07/04/2024
[Plug-In Power] The E6 is my earset of choice, since the quality of sound and comfort are priority for me and my presenters. NOTE: Since the earset is not part of B&H stock, the mics are drop-shipped directly from Countryman. I needed the mic within a week so I paid for 2-day shipping, since I was concerned when Countryman would process and ship the order. I was amazed to find out that they processed the order on the same day I placed it with B&H, and the mic arrived before the B&H order! Many thanks. 5
