SANKEN Introduces the new CS-2

Tokyo, Japan, May, 2010 – Sanken Microphone Co. has announced the introduction of a new shotgun
microphone, the CS-2, which captures distant sound with an amazingly rich and natural tone. A much
longer gradient tube in a mic of this overall size boosts the reach and directivity within a standard length
microphone. This newest model in the Sanken line provides highest quality sound.

The CS-2 achieves supersharp directivity with a 120mm (4.75") long acoustic tube in a standard 250 mm
(10") length / 19mm 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, the "high boost switch," 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.

The new CS-2 will be launched May 20, 2010. For more information, please visit  SANKEN MICROPHONE CO.LTD. at http://www.sanken-mic.com/en/ .
