The gray Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Normal Sensitivity and LEMO 3-Pin Connector for Wisycom Transmitters is a subminiature lav microphone designed to deliver clear, full-bodied sound and reliable performance, making it a popular choice among industry professionals in broadcast, TV, theater, film, videography, and more. 

Engineered to meet the standards of modern digital wireless microphone systems, the COS-11D is RF shielded to eliminate interference issues and ensure a pristine audio signal. The microphone capsule features a rectangular design that sits vertically, increasing the surface area and allowing this tiny mic to offer a rich, full sound that outperforms many larger models.

The mic's 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response rolls-off extreme low end and provides accurate, transparent audio reproduction with a small presence boost in the 6 kHz area for crisp, intelligible speech. With a forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern that picks up sound in a 360° pattern, levels stay consistent, even when the subject turns away from the mic.

A water-resistant mesh screen protects against humidity, perspiration, makeup, bad weather, and other potential on-location issues, while the durable cable is also moisture-resistant and built to stay soft and pliable, even after extended use. This version of the COS-11D terminates in a 3-pin LEMO connector and is wired for use with Wisycom transmitters. A metal windscreen, holder clip, rubber mount, and plastic case are included.

Q: 4. What would be your frequency recommendation for using it in a project in Spain?

A: You can use wireless microphones that operate within the range of 470 to 695 MHz in Spain, so the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for the UC14: 470 to 542 MHz and the UC25: 536 to 608 MHz frequency bands should both work.

Q: 5. What frequency recommendation for Hawaii and is there a website that can best help us find out what frequency is free while traveling for work?

A: All three of Sony's UWP-D frequency bands are compatible for use in Hawaii. The UC14 frequency band (470 to 542 MHz) is the best option and the UC25 band (536 to 608 MHz) is nearly as good. The UC90 band (941 to 960 MHz) will also work. Each band has 2,772 auto-scan frequencies so chances are very good that you will be able to find a clear frequency to use anywhere in the US, Canada, or Mexico.

Q: 10. Is there a cable/adapter to use a sanken cos-11BP mic with this system?

A: The Sanken COS-11D-BP Lavalier Microphone has a standard XLR male connector and requires 48V phantom power to function, so it is not compatible for connection to a wireless transmitter with a simple cable adapter. In order to connect the COS-11D-BP to a Sony UTX-B40 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter for the UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Lavalier Microphone System, you will need to connect the mic a phantom power supply first to provide sufficient voltage to the microphone, and then you can use an XLR female to locking 3.5mm TRS Sony cable to connect the output from the phantom power supply to the input on the transmitter. As an option, you can use the Xvive Audio P1 Portable Phantom Power Supply with Rechargeable Battery (B&H # XVP1) together with the Sony EC-1.5BX 3.5mm Locking Mini-Plug to Female XLR Cable - 4.9' (B&H # SOEC1.5BX). The Xvive P1 is lightweight and has a built-in rechargeable battery, as well as a belt clip.
