Moisture protection

The Sanken COS-22 is the world’s first dual capsule lavalier mic. In the tradition of the industry-wide popular Sanken COS-11s lavalier — copied but never matched in quality — the ultraminiature COS-22 measures only 1.25” in length but boasts a truly unique concept: dual highperformance omni-mics in a tiny package. The two-channel, dual omni-directional COS-22 is designed for a variety of applications, including high quality unobtrusive area miking, stereo
recording of music and environmental ambience,
redundant capsule live broadcast (e.g. news anchors), and boundary-style miking for film and television. In addition, the COS-22 can be used as a noise cancellation directional microphone pair by reversing the phase of one channel before summing the two outputs.

The COS-22 two-channel lavalier microphone is the result of a joint engineering effort by Sanken and NHK to create a new generation of microphones designed to meet today’s highest audio standards while satisfying the concealment requirements of high-resolution film and video. Ideal for voice or instruments in live broadcasting, location recording and studio applications, the COS-22 utilizes the world’s most advanced precision craftsmanship for the ultimate in sensitivity, natural sound and hidden capabilities.
Ultra-miniaturization plus high performance for
concealment applications
Complete redundancy from capsule to connections.
High output and low noise with extremely smooth omnidirectional 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
Holder clip provides critical distance between
microphone and clothing for avoidance of
mechanical/surface noise

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.
