The beige 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 TA5F connector and is wired for use with non-servo-bias Lectrosonics transmitters. Accessories are available separately and are not included with this configuration of the microphone.

Q: 7. Would this fit the Sony ECM XM1 microphone?

A: The WS11 windshield is specifically designed to fit the Rode VideoMic NTG which has a 21.6mm diameter and is 171mm long. The Sony ECM-XM1 has a 21mm diameter and is 162mm long. It is possible that the WS11 may fit the ECM-XM1, but we have not tested it with the Sony mic to be able to confirm that it will fit correctly. Rycote makes the Rode windshields and they list the Rycote Mini Windjammer Special 105 (B&H # RYMWS105) and the Rycote Standard Hole Softie Windscreen with 19-22mm (0.74-0.87") Hole Size (B&H # RYS10M) as the compatible models to use with the ECM-XM1.
