Isolation Clips
Our isolation clips minimize clothing and vibration noise,
while allowing 360 degree rotation of the mic for easy
positioning. We offer single and double isolation clips—as
well as a magnetic isolation clip—in five different colors.
Frequency Response
We tuned the B2D frequency response to be natural and
intelligible at a wide range of distances from the mouth.
As a result, the B2D delivers exceptional sound quality on
the chest (8-10 in. from mouth) or towards the collar (3-4
in.).
Redundant Miking
With our double tie clip, two B2D microphones—or one
B2D and one B6 or B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier—can be
used for redundancy. Pairing the B2D with the omni lav
provides tremendous control to the sound engineer who
can decide at any time to pan to the directional or the
omni to get the best sound quality.
Detachable Connectors
The B2D detachable connectors interface to a wide
variety of wireless transmitter packs or an XLR input. This
feature provides extreme flexibility for rental companies,
consultants, or anyone else working at multiple venues or
with different wireless systems.
Three Sensitivity Options
The B2D is available in three different sensitivity options—
lower sensitivity means higher overload level. Choose W4
for standard chest-worn applications, W5 for close miking
such as on eyeglasses (shown here), and W6 for close
miking with very powerful vocals: opera, for example.
Five Color Options
The B2D is available in five colors: white, light beige, tan,
cocoa, and black. Black is most popular for standard
lapel-worn applications. Tan, light beige, and cocoa are
designed to match clothing and skin tones. White is great
when placing the B2D through a button-hole or against
white clothing.
