help Tram TR-50 FAQ
Is the Tram TR-50 a miniature shotgun microphone?
No. The TR-50 is a miniature omnidirectional electret lavalier, so it collects sound around its capsule rather than using a shotgun interference tube.
Can the Tram TR-50 plug directly into any 3.5 mm camera input?
Not every TR-50 has the same connector or powering arrangement. Tram sells versions wired for different wireless transmitters, and hard-wired use normally requires the appropriate connector and TR-79 power supply.
Why is the Tram TR-50 often used for film dialogue?
Its small, flat capsule is easy to conceal beneath clothing or mount visibly on talent. The omnidirectional pattern also makes its tone less sensitive to small changes in how the speaker turns their head.
How does the Tram TR-50 compare with the Sanken COS-11D?
Both are established professional lavaliers used in film and broadcast, but they have different capsule shapes and tonal signatures. The flat-sided TR-50 is particularly convenient for boundary-style mounting, while the cylindrical COS-11D is commonly hidden with purpose-built concealers.
