Sounds great. Industry standard. Not the smallest, but adequate.

Great lavs! I use them with Sennheiser EW100 wireless packs and also with power supplies direct to XLR.

Perfect sound and profile for a lav mic, I departed between these and the DPA. I have no regrets. The sanken’s are that versatile! Can’t recommend them enough.

These mics are amazing. I've used Tram TR-50 and Voice Technologies VT-506 mics and the COS-11D - being a top address mic - just allows for so many more positioning options. The rubber mount it comes with is nice because it keeps sticky residue from sticky mounts off the mic. The cable is plenty long enough to route all the way down to an ankle-mounted transmitter.

This product was a special order, but it came pretty quickly after I placed the order. Great mic, industry standard for a reason.

The Sanken Audio COS-11D lavalier overcomes digital transmitter RFI (radio frequency interference). In today's wireless transmission systems the microphone must remain unaffected by new forms of digital transmitter signals. While the benefits of these new systems are obvious, they present new challenges in the area of emission protection.
In many cases, noise levels increase and the S/N ratio is deteriorated by the interference of digital transmitters. Sanken has designed the COS-11D specifically to diminish the instances where interference is an issue. The new COS-11D joins the COS-11 tradition of providing an ideal solution for live broadcasting, location recording and studio applications.
