The Tram TR50 is a professional omnidirectional electret condenser lavalier microphone with a low-profile design resulting in low visibility. The TR50 features a frequency response that enhances the character and frequencies associated with speech.

The polar pattern provides a generous pick up response at the direct and off-axis sections of the microphone capsule. This enhances sensitivity and minimizes noise associated with movement, wind and clothing contact. The TR50 features minimum sound coloration and is available in a variety of connectors for direct integration with wireless transmitters. This version features a 1/8" (3.5mm) connection for use with Sennheiser EW wireless transmitters.

    I got these to use them under clothing.
    The kit given doesn't seem to offer those capabilities, had to re-invent a method.
    To my surprise the (TD) Tape Down is the most useful of the items for that purpose, u can even put another one on top of it, binding skin and cloth together where the mic is not touching any of its bordered surfaces.
    Price is excellent for the quality and practicality.
    Other microphones are well on the competitive level, but not for the price.

    On the pickup side, they give great sound.
    they are well worth the money spent.
    PS: i got a big skin Band-aid and and glued it to the TD with the mic on all facing the clothing side inside towards the outside. No clothing sound ( I mean NO clothing sound at all)
    Happy to purchase them. These are industry standards and whomever you tell you got trams is directly impressed.

    When the mic works I love the accessories, and sound. But I sent the first one back and the one Tram sent to replace the first one does the same thing the first did.
    I use it with a Sennheiser wireless mic on a canon XLH1.

    Initially the mic works fine then after an hour or so I start getting background noise that is picked up in the headphones and verified during playback. I always have to go back to the Sennheiser mic which works fine, it just does't have the wind and attachment feature I like with the Tram.

      Comments about Tram TR50 - Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone (Black):

      The mics definitely cut down on the fabric interference but it's no where near perfect. I don't think any mic can completely cut out fabric noise. Placement is everything. They do sound better than the stock mics that came with our mic packs and the assortment of mounting clips will help with most situations. I've found that taping the mics without clips works the best under clothing.

          Comments about Tram TR50 - Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone (Black):

          I'm a local DJ who also provides live sound for ceremonies. Every set of lavaliere mics I've tried were great for recorded audio but had a terrible amount of feedback. I've been through the ME2 mics that come with the Sennheiser EW100 wireless packs and the Countryman B6. Both proved rather useless when it came to live sound. The Tran TR50 on the other hand has a nice flat natural sound that required very little EQ to prevent feedback. The Cable is very sturdy and should provide years of use. I LOVE these mics! The only drawback is they are a bit larger than I'd like, but with creative placement that problem is soon remedied.

            At the first glance it looks like DIY item. But when I tried to use it, I was impressed. I bougt TRAM TR50 for Sennheiser EW112G3-P wireless system. It has clear sound without hiss. Much better than stock Sennheiser ME2 as оver clothing, so under one. The set includes four different fixtures, so, it is quite versatile.

              Comments about Tram TR50 - Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone (Black):

              I'd heard great things about these lav mics, I bought two, and they did sound great. But both failed after less than an hour's use. The cords had suffered internal wire separation.

              On one, it was a failure right at the jack, as it would come on and off if you wiggled it there. The other just went dead, probably at the same place, but no amount of wiggling could make it live again.

              For the price, these should be more robust.

                    I have the Sennheiser Evolution G2 Wireless microphone system and I had purchased a replacement microphone that was cheaper and caused a tone of hiss and fluctuation in the sound during interviews. I picked up the TR50 by Tram and immediately heard the difference.

                    I have to give my clients the best possible sound when shooting and the Tram was awesome! I definitely recommend it.

                            The Tram is a great mic. I used to use these 20 years ago at another company. Since starting my own company I have been using the supplied mic with a Sennheiser Series 100 wireless. That mic got damaged and I bought the Tram while waiting for the Sennheiser to be replaced. Good frequency response and a multitude of mounting options that come with it including the excellent vampire clip for hiding the mic when necessary.

                              The mic is very sensitive and produces high quality audio.
