Sanken Introduces New COS-11D HWM Miniature Head Worn Mic at AES

Sanken Microphones is introducing for the first time at AES the new head worn COS-11D HWM, utilizing the same miniature mic used extensively as a lavalier in feature films and TV. This ultra-miniature new generation microphone was designed for hi-resolution audio and is now available for live stage productions, broadcast, and houses of worship.

"Having that same great Sanken sound quality in a head worn mic is an entirely new concept for live performance," remarked Jim Pace, president of Sanken's distributor plus24. "The omni pickup makes for very natural vocal sound and the sensitivity minimizes feedback."

The mic is optimized for the human voice; features a stable, adjustable dual-earpiece frame, and comes with a mic boom that is interchangeable for right or left side. It is available in beige or cocoa.

The company says the COS-11D HWM is especially valuable when there is rigorous head movement, while the close proximity of the mic to the vocal source provides consistently exceptional audio with very natural characteristics.

This new Sanken microphone was designed to meet today's HD audio standards while providing greater immunity to RF interference. The COS-11D HWM incorporates exclusive design advances that deal with both digital and digital/analog hybrid RF wireless transmission.
