The Sennheiser EM 6000 is a Digital 6000 Series, two-channel wireless receiver engineered to deliver superb audio and mission-critical transmission reliability for the most complex live production--even in the most demanding RF environments. It is ideal for touring and rental companies, theater and musical events, broadcasting, large places of worship, and corporate applications.
Housed in a compact, single-rack unit, the EM 6000 features the company's renowned Long Range mode (with proprietary SeDAC audio codec), an ultrawide 244 MHz tuning range with equidistant frequency grid, true-bit diversity reception, an active antenna splitter for daisy-chaining up to eight devices, a range of analog and digital connection options, and AES 256 encryption. It is also remote-controllable via Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software.
Automatic frequency setup and smart menus on high-contrast OLED displays make the EM 6000 easy to operate with every operating element; a result of practical experience and designed for practical use.
The receiver is compatible with the SK 6000 and miniature SK 6212 bodypack transmitters for lavalier microphones, headsets, and guitar cable, as well as with the SKM 6000 handheld transmitter—which offers a wide selection of classic Sennheiser and Neumann capsules. It is also compatible with SK 9000 bodypack and SKM 9000 handheld transmitters operating in Long Range mode.
The L 6000 rack-mounted intelligent charging station (available separately) simplifies the task of keeping your transmitter battery packs charged and ready to go.
