What term describes a small transmitter that sends a signal wirelessly to a camera or audio recorder, with no wires?

• A. Lapel Microphones
• B. Wireless Microphones
• C. Bodypack Transmitters
• D. Wired Microphones

Answer: (B)

When we talk about a device that sends audio without any cables to a camera or recorder, we’re referring to a wireless microphone system. The key idea is that the microphone’s signal is transmitted via radio frequency from a small transmitter to a receiver that’s connected to the recording device. The common term for this setup is wireless microphones, which covers the mic, the small body-worn transmitter (often called a bodypack), and the receiver. The bodypack transmitter is a typical form factor, but naming the system as wireless microphones emphasizes the wireless link between mic and camera/recorder. A lapel mic describes the microphone style, which can be wired or wireless, and wired microphones require cables, which contradicts the scenario.
