Countryman B2D Overview

The tan Countryman B2D Directional Lavalier with a Threaded Connector Termination with no Connector features a lightweight 0.18-ounce body that was designed to be discreetly mounted. It is set to Countryman's Gray Band sensitivity for chest miking. The B2D can be used for miking news anchors, actors in a film or theater setting, or lecturers in a school setting or house of worship.

Featuring a hypercardioid pattern, the B2D rejects surrounding noise with a six to ten greater decibel reduction than an omnidirectional pattern. This results in decreased feedback, ambient noise and phase cancellation when using multiple microphones.

This B2D has a threaded connector termination with no connector included.

Hypercardioid pattern rejects surrounding noise 6-10 dB better on average than an omnidirectional lavalier
Aramid-reinforced cable withstands greater than 45 lb break strength
Hides in plain sight by swapping colored caps to match buttonhole, sweater weave or skin tone. You can use a felt-tip marker to color the white caps to get an exceptional mat
Built to withstand perspiration and makeup, for use in hair or on the body
Protective cap is easily removed for cleaning or replacement when clogged with makeup
Can be worn on the chest, forehead, or taped in front of your ear
Included isolation clip minimizes clothing and vibration noise, while allowing 360 degree rotation of the mic for easy positioning
Can be used for redundant miking with a second mic and optional double tie clip
Detachable connector interfaces with optional Countryman connectors for expanded compatibility with wireless transmitters or an XLR input

Countryman B2D Reviews

Excellent Sound, Shoddy Clip

By Low Beam Pictures
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2016-03-04

The B2D works great for capturing location sound in a noisy location. In that application, attaching the microphone to the talent's skin works well. But when using the clip to attach to clothing, you have to do a lot of twisting and compressing. I had to call Countryman Associates to tell me how to do it. Additionally, the swiveling part of the clip comes apart. It can be put back together with determined effort, but this is not the kind of thing you want to do on location.
