Sanken Microphones Honored with AMPAS Scientific and Technical Award
Sanken Microphones is proud to be honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with a Scientific and Engineering Award plaque for the development of its innovative, ultra-miniature COS-11 lavalier microphone technology.
The new generation COS-11D ultra-miniature lavalier was designed to meet today’s HD audio standards while providing greater immunity to RF interference.
The COS-11D is available in four colors (Black, White, Gray, and Beige) and with many connectivity options and accessories. It features a front mesh screen which is water resistant, better protecting the microphone from perspiration and cosmetics, and is ideal for outdoor shooting in foul weather.
The mic includes an exclusive vertical placement of the diaphragm for a much greater effective area within an extremely small casing. Sanken has combined extensive R&D with the world’s most advanced precision craftsmanship for the ultimate in sensitivity and natural sound.

Minimize RF Interference with Sanken’s Advanced Design Technology
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. Endorsed by wireless transmitter manufacturers, the COS-11D PT incorporates exclusive design advances that deal with both digital and digital/analog hybrid RF wireless transmission.
Focusing on the latest challenges in wireless technologies, Sanken has partnered with industry leaders to provide a breakthrough microphone designed to minimize the instances where RF interference is an issue.
