The beige Sanken COS-11D Lavalier Mic with LEMO Connector for Sennheiseris 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 Sennheiser transmitters. A metal windscreen, holder clip, rubber mount, and plastic case are included.

Q: 2. I have to of these one has a little blue tag at the bottom just beside the mini jack, the other doesn't have a blue tag is there a difference?The one that doesnt have the blue tag is doing a very disturbing humming, can you tell me something about that?

Q: 3. I see the box is phantom powered, but how does it pass 48v to condenser mics? If so, can 48v be turned off for use with dynamic mics?

A: This unit is made to power the Sennheiser MAS-1 button pecifically, to bring power to it and make it programmable for On, On/Off, PTT, and PTM modes. The phantom power from the mixer would go to the connected condenser microphone in the chain and if you are using a dynamic microphone it will not be affected by the condenser power in the line.

Q: 4. My question was whether it was equivalent to the Sennheiser windscreen in high frequency reduction as I will be using it in my studio for a voiceover mic and don’t want to lose any of the high frequencies?

A: This windscreen would be about equal to any high frequency reductions caused by the Sennheiser windscreen.

Q: 5. can this be used as a wired lav for a dslr (with a long adapter cable)?

A: Anything is possible, but not recommended in this case. I think most DSLR audio inputs are at line level and not mic level. It's really meant for plugging into a wireless unit (which you would then plug into your DSLR).
