Sanken COS-11D Omnidirectional Lav Mic with Lower Sensitivity & 9.8-Foot Cable Featuring Bare Pigtail Leads (Includes Accessories, Gray) | SAN-11DWRPTGY30

A lavalier microphone should be heard, not seen. That’s the entire philosophy behind the Sanken COS-11D, a staple for location sound and broadcast. This particular version comes with lower sensitivity, which means it handles higher sound pressure levels without distortion, making it ideal for close-miking loud speakers or working with wireless transmitters that have generous gain. It also ships with accessories out of the box, so you can rig it in seconds.

The 9.8-foot cable terminates in bare pigtail leads, giving you maximum flexibility to solder or pin the connection for whatever wireless pack you’re using. No pre-attached connectors means this lav is built to stay put once you terminate it properly. Its omnidirectional pattern picks up crisp, natural dialogue with minimal handling noise. It may not be the cheapest mic on the shelf, but it’s one of the most reliable you’ll ever wire into a bag. The gray finish helps it vanish against neutral clothing, which is exactly what you want when the camera’s rolling.
