help Sanken COS-22 FAQ

Does the Sanken COS-22 record true stereo?

Yes, it contains two independent omnidirectional capsules whose channels can be positioned for stereo capture. It can also provide redundant channels for live broadcast rather than a stereo image.

What connector comes on the Sanken COS-22?

The standard COS-22 uses a 5-pin XLR connector and a 3-meter cable, carrying separate left and right channels. A pigtail COS-22-PT version is available for custom transmitter wiring.

How small is the Sanken COS-22?

The microphone body is about 31.6 mm long and 4 mm in diameter. Despite housing two capsules, it is designed to remain unobtrusive in film, television, music, and boundary-miking setups.

Can the COS-22 plug into a normal single-channel lavalier transmitter?

Not without suitable wiring and support for its two outputs, because each capsule is an independent channel. The XLR5M version also expects 48-volt phantom power for both channels, so compatibility must be checked carefully.
