Wiring a Sanken COS11d Lav to a TA5 Connector

Not quite a "tutorial" but more of an over-the-shoulder (sometimes out of focus) glimpse of me wiring a Sanken COS11 Lavalier 3-wire Microphone with a TA5 connector.
Products in this video:
▸ Switchcraft TA5FX Connector (my preference): geni.us/TBiAA
▸ Remote Audio TA5F Connector (not shown / decent alternate brand): geni.us/NbEI4y
▸ Sanken Cos11D Lavalier Microphone: geni.us/zmvI
▸ Shot on a Canon 70D DSLR: geni.us/ZnV2W
▸ Recorded to a Sound Devices Recorder: geni.us/2eqzmO
I have no affiliation with Sanken. Proceed at your own risk.
The wiring shown follows the Servo Bias wiring diagram (Figure 11) & instructions provided by Lectrosonics at this link: www.lectrosonics.com/Support/M...

Okay, so happy to help here. As an engineer in the industry field, i have terminated close to 1000 Sanken lav mics as the company i worked for was an agent for Sanken.

Good stuff, you have just saved a lot of people time and money. Please do more like this!

[@CarletonWatkins1861]

Good stuff. I also didn’t separate the shield. Right after stripping the insulation off I tinned the shield right where the insulation was cut off all the way around. I then pulled out and cut off all the shield and fiber strands beyond the tinned spot. I then soldered a real wire to the tinned shield and put heat shrink over the connection.

Thanks for the explanation! DCHR and DBu on my way ... with custom cables wiring in my mind -)

Thanks for making this video. This worked great for me. The only thing I did differently is that I didn't strip or tin the black and white wires. I just pushed them into the molten solder on the connector.

Great video. I use old resistors and just cut the ends off for the jumper.

thanks for the Video Loved it and helped me

Hey there thanks for the video! Was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for a diagram that will show the wiring for a 2.5mm jack for my MM200 transmitter? Cheers!

Thank you for making this video, I had a grounding problem on soldering COS-11D into the LEMO connector, Do you ground all the shield or just the metal ground wire on the shield? I got Higher impedance (need more Gain on transmitter) on the wire that i repair than the wire that original bought from the shop. Or it doesn't matter at all?

[@davidaliperti]

is it valid also for the older um 400 tx?
