Description

Ideal for studio recording and live performances alike, the Sanken COS-11D-BK EW is a powerhouse of a dynamic microphone that meets the demands of professional audio environments. With its cutting-edge design, this microphone features shielding against radio frequency interference, ensuring that your recordings are as clean and crisp as possible, even in environments with digital radio transmitters. Its omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound from every direction, making it perfect for interviews, stage performances, and studio sessions.

Engineered with a frequency range of 50 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the COS-11D-BK EW provides a full-bodied sound that captures every nuance of the performance. Its splash-proof design offers durability in unpredictable environments, while the Sennheiser EW plug makes it seamlessly compatible with industry-standard wireless systems.

With an impedance of 180 Ohm, this microphone is designed for low-noise operation, and its thoughtful accessories—including an RM-11 rubber mount, HC-11 crocodile clip, and WS-11 windscreen—make it a versatile choice for any audio professional.
