Izen Ears Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 What is the delay / what's the big deal?! C'mon Sanken, join Countryman and DPA already! Sanken COS-11s are great. Yes they get "dull" over time and the cable is microphonic, but they get the job very well. The standard black dot ("black band") 0dB lavs are the perfect sensitivity 90% of the time; the red dots come out for rare bellowing lines. But what about when the actor is wearing a red dot COS with the SM dialed down to 0, and I'm still getting limiting and distortion? Well that's when the blue dot B6s come out. Which completely changes the tone, and besides I don't always like people on B6s. I know a large-budget feature mixer who has a relationship with Sanken and he has asked them multiple times, and they refuse! They don't see the need apparently. Well I'm telling you there absolutely IS a need! Dan Izen Quote
smicycle Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 Am I the only person who has the opposite problem? With my black and red dot cos-11s I find I usually have the gain somewhere from 25-30 on my SMs. If it's a sit down interview it's usually above 30. Maybe we should trade. Quote
Izen Ears Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Posted January 5, 2016 I'm using the simple wiring, no resistors. Quote
