Description

Introducing the Sanken CO-100K, a groundbreaking addition to the world of professional recording. This first-of-its-kind microphone is designed not for measurement but for capturing the full spectrum of sound with a stunning frequency range from 20Hz to an unprecedented 100kHz. Crafted in collaboration with NHK’s Science & Technical Research Laboratories, the CO-100K is a testament to Sanken's commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio technology. Ideal for capturing the intricate details of classical music, acoustic instruments, and sound effects, this microphone offers an expansive auditory experience previously unheard of.

The CO-100K's supersonic, omni-directional design means it excels in a wide array of recording setups, from orchestral arrangements to location sound effects. Its unique diaphragm and capsule material are engineered for optimal high-frequency response, ensuring the clarity and richness of high-resolution digital audio formats. The 20dB boost above 50kHz allows for capturing high-frequency details often lost in traditional recordings, making it a preferred choice for high SPL sources and distant overheads. Whether employed in X-Y, ORTF, or Decca tree configurations, the CO-100K captures the spatial reality of a well-tuned room with unmatched fidelity.

Discover the new standard in recording excellence with the Sanken CO-100K, where musical detail and nuance are not just captured, but celebrated.
