Sanken COS-11DR

Sanken COS-11DR Lavalier Microphone

The Sanken COS-11DR is a compact omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone for use with wireless transmitters. Its 4 mm diameter capsule is designed for speech recording in film, television, theater and presentations. The construction reduces interference from digital transmitters and provides protection against moisture.

Select the required color, connector and delivery with or without accessories. The termination must match the specific transmitter model: connector shape alone does not determine compatibility.

Other versions include the Sanken COS-11D-HWM headworn microphone and the Sanken COS-11D with an XLR connection. For the Red Mark version with 9 dB lower sensitivity for high sound pressure levels, please contact Noyz Boyz Audio.
