Sanken Lavalier Microphones

[3 to 10 V] 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.

[Plug-In Power] this is the top 3 mic for pros,if you are pro you know that there are 3 lavalier mic,1-dpa 6060,sanken 11, tram50,everything else is .........so so.THE ONLY DOWN SIDE IS SENSITIVITY ON THIS ONE

[Empty] I use this case to hold two to three lavalier microphones. It's well-built and the clear top allows you to see what's inside without opening it. Perfect!

[Omnidirectional] Lavalier microphones are an excellent choice for interviews, audio or video. In either case you need separation of voices, and for video, something almost invisible. Wireless body packs seem to always need fresh batteries, and finding an open frequency can be difficult in urban situations. The E/V TA4 to SLR adapter lets you use E/V (only) miss in an ordinary XLR input with phantom power. They work in a small interview recorder, like a Zoom H6, which cost less than a single body pack. It is a passive device, which operates at microphone levels. I use mine with E/V ULM21 directional condenser lapel mics.

[0.03 lb] Got 4 of them for my lavalier microphones and fits perfectly over the wind screen. They seem secured with the elastic built inside of them.

[Empty] This case is being used to house 2 sennheiser lavalier transmitters, there assoicated lapel microphones elements and 4 AA batteries. I was easily able to remove the cube foam pieces that I needed to allow the above noted items. They fit snuggly and will last MUCH longer being safe and secure in this case than the microphone bag they were previously stored in. My employees also think it is pretty niffty.

[0.005 lb] The Giant Squid lavalier microphones are very good inexpensive mics. However, a big however, they come with one teenie tiny windscreen that easily falls off. The very first time I used a GS outdoors, my talent lost the screen in the grass and I ran all over town looking for a replacement to no avail. Incredibly, Giant Squid does not have replacements. But they did recommend Amazon's Tetra-Teknica MNWSDP Mini-size Lapel Microphone Windscreen. So now I have a dozen of them in the drawer that do NOT fit the GS because the hole is too small and is not stretchable. The WLF-038-3 Foam Windscreens for 3/8 Diameter Microphones (3 Pack) from B&H to the rescue!! They actually fit the GS mic, but are considerably longer than they need to be; and are easily trimmed with a scissors. They are sorta thickish windscreens and might not be able to always be used underneath clothing without being seen. However, I haven't found that to be a problem yet. I bought a 3 Pack to test them and will definitely be buying more.

[0.1 lb] A couple of good quality, but older technology lavalier microphones had been sitting in a drawer unused. This Neutrik adapter works great. It takes the RCA output from the our older Shure and ElectroVoice lavalier mics and adapts them to fit our standard XLR mic cables. Thank you!

[35 Hz to 14 kHz] This wireless omni lavalier microphones system works good, a very good solution for a mid level system! They did a good job of blending value and quality!!
