Any Exciting New Lavs?

[dgirtsman]

Is there anything new in the world of lav mics that I should know about? I've had a hard time finding anything that I like better than the cos-11 (at least for my particular use).

Which ones have you tried?
DPA? The Slim is probably the newest...

Plenty of options but if the cos11 works for you then why change it?

The only thing that I'd like to change about it is the price...

Thanks! I'll need to try the slim. I like the idea of the adapter system.

Pricewise DPA is not going to make you happy...

Guess you're stuck with COS11 then? Though you might want to take a look at Oscar SoundTech if you haven't already, if what you're looking around for is a lower priced alternative.

I have been using Rode lavs for several years and think they are in the same ball park as COS-11s at half the price.

I have used DPA 4071 with Sennheiser G3 and hardwired.
A whole "different" microphone when it's hardwired.
I like the DPA 4071 for male voices, low-mid tonal emphasis and under clothes.
If I would buy a new lavalier, this will be DPA 4060 Slim.
