Sanken COS-11D Omnidirectional Lav Mic with Lower Sensitivity & 9.8-Foot Cable Featuring Bare Pigtail Wires (Accessories Not Included, Gray Finish) | SAN-11DARPTGY30
It?s the subtle tool that makes dialogue feel effortless.
The Sanken COS-11D in gray is an omnidirectional lavalier microphone engineered for the pros who need to disappear on camera. This particular variant comes calibrated with a lower sensitivity output, which is a deliberate choice when you?re working with hot mixing consoles or want more headroom before distortion sets in. The microphone terminates in bare pigtail wires instead of a fixed connector, so you can hardwire it directly into a bodypack transmitter or an audio panel ? perfect for video productions and live theatre where every connection needs to be clean and reliable.
- With its omnidirectional pickup pattern, this lav mic captures clear audio from any direction the talent faces, which drastically reduces handling noise and keeps the sound natural during unscripted moments.
- The 9.8-foot cable gives you genuine flexibility to hide the wire under clothing and still reach the transmitter without having to run a separate extension ? a detail that saves headaches on cramped sets or quick change scenes.
- Its gray finish was designed to blend in with neutral wardrobe colors, which means less visible re-rigging between shots for broadcast and documentary work where appearance matters as much as audio.
- The bare pigtail termination means you can solder or crimp the right connector for your specific gear, whether that?s a 3.5mm TRS for Lectrosonics, a TA5F for Shure, or something more unusual ? no adapter barrel needed.
