SANKEN CS-1 SHORT SHOTGUN
October 2003—The CS-1 Short Shotgun Microphone employs the same innovative technology as previous Sanken mics in a smaller, ultracompact housing. Sharp directivity delivers targeted sound while eliminating background noise. Less than eight inches in length, the CS-1 is ideal for mounting on video/film cameras, and with a weight of only 3.5 ounces, it is also easy to maneuver on boom poles. Utilizing Sanken's original square-condenser capsule, the CS-1 has a flat frequency response beyond 20 kHz and handles up to 137 dB.

SANKEN CS-101
June 2003—Sanken (dist. by Plus24, www.plus24.net) showed cool new mics at NAB: The CS-01 short shotgun has a bargain $799 price; the $1,850 CO-100K omni condenser has a true 100kHz bandwidth; and the $2,650 CUW-180 is a stereo condenser with twin cardioid capsules mounted on 180-degree swivels.

SANKEN BOUNDARY MIC
December 2002—The miniature CUB-01 cardioid boundary mic from Sanken overcomes the limitations of previous boundary mic designs, producing a rich, full-bodied sound. Thanks to its cardioid directional characteristics, narration and dialog are clearly recorded while unnecessary background noise is eliminated. The CUB-01's small size allows for discreet placement in film work using double-sided tape.

SANKEN CUB-01
January 2002—At the fall 2001 AES, just over 1 inch in diameter, the CUB-01 Universal Condenser Boundary Microphone from Sanken is ideal for concealed miking in broadcast, film, theater, TV and sports, emphasizing dialog while minimizing background noise.

SANKEN CMS-10
October 2000—Sanken's newest mic, the CMS-10, is the world's first camera-mount stereo shotgun mic. The CMS-10 is ideally suited to today's high-definition cameras because of its extraordinary performance in matching the selected sound with the camera's picture. This is due to the CMS-10's ability to maintain high directionality even in a noisy situation or in an environment with pronounced echo.
