Ben B Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi all, I have a couple old COS11 that i don't use to mic people with anymore. The cable jacket got kinda stiff with the time and i switched to DPA for lav since a couple of films already. I do use them a lot in car rigs and i was thinking of modifying a couple to be a gooseneck mic which would be much faster to rig and adjust. I am now looking for a small gooseneck where i could feed the COS11 cable into, glue the mic on one end and solder the connector on the other. My question to you guys is has any of you already try this? With success or not? has anyone found the perfect gooseneck to realise this mod? I tried to use the gooseneck of these small Ikea USB LED lamp which looked great but the gooseneck is unfortunately too tight to fit the cable. Any input/advice is welcome. Thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Reshovsky Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 You can achieve a similar outcome by shortening the cable, and heatshrinking some some stiff wire (armature wire is ideal) alongside the lav cable, and all the way down to the connector.

Constantin Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Ursa sell this wire rig to accomplish exactly this, but as a non-permanent solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
