Sanken CS-2
The CS-2 achieves super sharp directivity with a 120mm (4.75") long acoustic tube in a standard 250 mm (10") length / 19mm (.75") diameter body. Optimum audio capture is achieved by means of the proprietary Sanken rectangular capsule, a unique and innovative design that provides greater diaphragm surface area. A clear sound with greater directivity and extended reach over much longer distances makes the CS-2 ideal for a wide range of applications, such as outdoor location sound, interviews, sports, drama, variety shows, and many more. The resulting sound is consistent throughout the day in a wide variety of environments and changing climatic conditions.
A new Sanken feature in this microphone is the high boost switch, which compensates for the attenuation of high frequencies when the mic is used with a windscreen/windjammer for outdoor use. As a result, the full, natural sound is maintained.
The light 110g weight of the CS-2 makes it ideal for boom operation.
