The black Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Reduced Sensitivity and LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Zaxcom Transmitters is 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 3-pin LEMO connector and is wired for use with Zaxcom transmitters. A metal windscreen, holder clip, rubber mount, and plastic case are included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this has extreme wether proof design and RF rejection like NTG3 and Senn MKH416?

A: The Sanken is fairly robust in adverse weather, but it is not weather-proofed. Its directionality is comparable depending on the environment.

Q: 2. Can I wire a 3.5mm end to this?

A: Yes, the CUB-01 Boundary Microphone (Beige) comes unterminated and can be terminated with a 3.5mm TRS connector.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Is this compatible with the Sony PXW-Z90?

A: The DJI Mic 2 MI Shoe Camera Adapter is compatible with the MI shoe on the Sony PXW-Z90, so you would need to remove the XLR handle on the camera to be able to use it.

Q: 5. Does this work on the Sanken CS-3e on a Sony FX3?

A: Yes, the Sanken ROCS Rubber O-Rings cam be used with the Sanken CS-3e Short Shotgun Microphone and Sony FX3 Cinema Camera.

Q: 6. Will this work for the Sennheiser MKH8060 or is there a better choice for that?

A: The Rycote Standard Hole Classic Softie Wind-Screen (BH #RYS12M) is a better option for the Sennheiser MKH 8060.

Q: 7. Will these fit a RDE NTG-3?

A: The Sanken O-Rings will fit a Rode NTG-3 and mics with a similar diameter 19-22mm.

Q: 8. Does this Rycote Softie Kit MFR #033395 work with Schoeps CMC641-- MFR #CMC641G SET?

A: Yes, the Rycote 033395 Softie Kit for Sanken CS-M1 Microphone with Windshield and Shockmount can also be used with the Schoeps CMC641 Set Colette Series Supercardioid Microphone.

Q: 9. Compatible with the canon R5C

A: The DJI Mic 2 MI Shoe Camera Adapter is not compatible with the Canon R5C.

Q: 10. Do these fit the Sennheiser MKH 416?

[Plug-In Power] Clear, crisp sound. Works perfect with our Sennheiser Evo Wireless. The amount of ambient noise this mic rejects is unbelievable. May seem pricey, but it's extremely well worth it! 5

[Omnidirectional] I devoted a lot of time to researching lavalier microphones before I settled on the Sanken COS-11D. I looked and listened to all of the on-line comparisons I could find and read the technical data. I wanted top sound quality for spoken voices and different options to conceal the microphone. B&H had the XLR connector model in stock and it fulfills all of my wishes. Additionally I have a Sony ECM-55B lavalier, a great mic with a long reputation (and also a great deal from the B&H Used store) but it is relatively large in size. Ive tested the Sony vs the Sanken in different environments and bottom line, the Sanken is the clear winner for overall sound quality. it is that much cleaner and crisper with a lively presence and brightness, even when tucked behind a collar. I will buy another one of these if/when I need another lavalier. 5

[Plug-In Power] I've been wanting to get one of these for years but the cost has prevented me. My Sennheiser MKE1 (which I Loved!) finally went out on me so I'm went with this next. So far I Love it!! 5

[Plug-In Power] Normally, I record with XLR mics, the Tram TR50 or Sennheiser MKH416, onto a Sound Devices 702. Pretty high quality setup. This microphone takes the Sennheiser wireless packs from terrible (with the included ME2 mics) to pretty good. (that's supposed to be a compliment) Perhaps a bit hot on the high end, but so much crisper and clearer than the ME2s. Worth the money. 5
