TOKYO — Sanken, manufacturer of ultra-miniature lavalier microphones, has announced the new COS-11D, the latest in the COS-11 lavalier series. The new design incorporates design advances that deal with digital and digital/analog hybrid wireless transmission. “Working with the latest in wireless technologies, Sanken and Lectrosonics have partnered to provide a unique solution for our users,” said Jim Pace, president of Sanken distributor plus24, calling the COS-11D a “breakthrough” product.
“We tested the new version of the COS-11D with our UM700 digital modulation transmitter and found that we could produce no digital noise, such as a whine, or even an increase in the mic noise floor,” said Lectrosonics president Larry Fisher. “I think the RF bypassing in the new version is a great improvement and should work perfectly and quietly with the Lectrosonics' digital transmitters. The new mic is flawless.”
In today's wireless transmission systems the microphone must remain unaffected by the new forms of transmitter signals. While the benefits of these new systems are obvious, they present new challenges in the area of emission protection. Sanken Microphones has designed the COS-11D specifically to reduce the instances where interference is an issue.
The new COS-11D version is available in limited quantities. The unit will be offered in the PT (pig tail) version with standard sensitivity and the Red Mark model with reduced sensitivity.
