The Sanken CS-01 is an answer to professional users’ requests for many video and film applications. A microphone designed for the broadcast and film
/television industries. It is easy to be hidden from the camera’s eye because of its short length. The CS-01 makes an excellent camera mounted mic*
as well as a boom pole mic. The CS-01 has a very sharp directional characteristic and the high quality sound Sanken microphones have become known for.
Sanken introduced the world's first Stereo Shotgun Microphone in response to the persistent demands
of production sound engineers for an easy-to-operate, flexible stereo shotgun for use in stereo broadcasts and feature films with stereo and
surround sound. Because of Sanken's innovations in Second Pressure Gradient technology and the use of two cardioid diaphragms, the CSS-5
offers three distinct operation modes (mono, stereo and wide) for a wide array of applications in location and studio recording. Mono mode
provides high directivity over a wide frequencey spectrum, especially below 500Hz. Excellent for noisy environments. Low proximity effect.
The CS-3e stands out among shotgun microphones -- it delivers sharp directional sound with
extended low frequency response and high directivity over a wide frequency spectrum, especially below 500Hz. Because of its unique design, the CS-3e
is an excellent choice for use in difficult applications, such as close-to-ceiling positions or locations near a noisy camera. Even in such
challenging situations, the excellent side and rear rejection of the CS-3e helps to capture only the targeted dialogue without any ambient
reverberation. Sanken's original design results in a low proximity effect which facilitates working in a scene close-up and wide, while
producing little change in sound character.
The CMS-10 is switchable between a very sharp directional mono shotgun response and a specialized
stereo shotgun mode that delivers a rich "Environmental Stereo Sound." The CMS-10 is designed as a camera mounted microphone, however
it can also be mounted on a boom pole for field recording. The source of Sanken's Environmental Stereo Sound is a new generation M-S
microphone design. Thanks to the exclusive internal circuit, it is simple to obtain a L and R output with precise location imagery directly from the
microphone, and also a very narrow-focused mono sound by using the ST/MONO switch. NOW also available in an M-S version
The CMS-10 is small (less than 220mm length and 170g weight), an advantage in demanding field shooting, and
the PPS diaphragm provides optimum durability in locations with high humidity and extreme temperatures. The CMS-10 is an excellent choice for
creative engineers working in HDTV and HD-Cam for movie production.
