The white Sanken COS-11D Lavalier Mic for Lectrosonics Transmittersis a subminiature lav microphone designed to deliver clear, full-bodied sound and reliable performance, making it a popular choice among industry professionals in broadcast, TV, theater, film, videography, and more. 

Engineered to meet the standards of modern digital wireless microphone systems, the COS-11D is RF shielded to eliminate interference issues and ensure a pristine audio signal. The microphone capsule features a rectangular design that sits vertically, increasing the surface area and allowing this tiny mic to offer a rich, full sound that outperforms many larger models.

The mic's 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response rolls-off extreme low end and provides accurate, transparent audio reproduction with a small presence boost in the 6 kHz area for crisp, intelligible speech. With a forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern that picks up sound in a 360° pattern, levels stay consistent, even when the subject turns away from the mic.

A water-resistant mesh screen protects against humidity, perspiration, makeup, bad weather, and other potential on-location issues, while the durable cable is also moisture-resistant and built to stay soft and pliable, even after extended use. This version of the COS-11D terminates in a 2.5mm connector and is wired for use with Lectrosonics wireless transmitters. A metal windscreen, holder clip, rubber mount, and plastic case are included.

Q: 1. I'm very fond of Sanken mics personally. Thus I wanted to ask how is the reach on this mic. Is there anything you guys could tell in that regards? I know it's not a shotgun mic, however it's Super Card.

A: It very similar to most of other shotgun mics (and it's a shotgun mic). Not as directional as Sennheiser 416, so I wouldn't recommend if you need to capture sounds outdoors very far away.

Q: 2. Will the o rings fit with the Rode NTG3 on AG-UX90 that the holder is set up for 21mm?

A: I use the o rings on an NTG3 on my canon c300 and it works well.

Q: 3. Will the o rings fit with the Rode NTG2 on Sony's PXW-X70?

A: Thank you for you inquiry. The O-Ring is normally used with the CS1E which is 19mm and the Rode NTG2 is 22mm. I would say that should not be too much of a stretch and will work fine. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.Best,Peter Hanniganplus24/Sanken323-845-1171
