NEW COS-7D – Even Smaller Variation of the COS-11D
Suited to Music as well as Speech
NEW – COS-7D – This new Companion product to the COS-11D provides an alternate frequency response, expanding the Sanken COS family of industry leading lavaliers. The new COS-7D is an ‘even smaller’ variation of the popular COS-11D, winner of an AMPAS, Scientific and Engineering Award.
The COS-7D differs from the COS-11D in that it has a flatter frequency response, making it suitable for voices with other characteristics for both music and voice recording in production, broadcast, and live environments.
It is also only 0.76″ long compared with 1″ for the COS-11D, it also has a slimmer cable – a perfect combination of ultra high audio quality, cable management, and a very small and unobtrusive form factor. Like the COS-11D it will be available in black, grey, beige and white colors and compatible with all known wireless transmitters.

Versatile Lavalier Mic Based on the Industry Standard COS-11D Technology
The COS-7D lavalier microphone is the result of a development effort based on customer feedback by the Sanken R&D team, with the goal to produce a smaller variation of the COS-11D but with a smoother response to widen the mic’s applications. This can include music as well as production and broadcast. In both applications there is a need for ultra high quality while satisfying the concealment requirements of high-resolution broadcast, live, film and video.
Ideal for voice or instruments in live broadcasting, location recording and studio applications, the COS-7D utilizes the world’s most advanced precision craftsmanship for the ultimate in sensitivity, natural sound and hidden capabilities.
The proprietary vertical diaphragm introduced by Sanken is an example of its innovative and unique product designs. Often simulated, Sanken products provide the optimum results and the highest quality available today.
- Ultra-miniaturization plus high-performance for concealment applications
- High output and low noise with extremely smooth omni-directional pattern control over a wide frequency range
- Exclusive PPS (Poly-phenylene-sulfide) diaphragm provides dramatically higher humidity and temperature stability, outperforming all other condenser lavaliers
- Vertical diaphragm placement protects against moisture
- Built-in 3-layer windscreen minimizes pops, sibilance and wind noise
- Wide pick-up area ‘plant mic’
- Holder clip provides critical distance between microphone and clothing for avoidance of mechanical/surface noise
- A wide range of Sanken and third party accessories are common to both product models
