Product Description

This rugged system has separate capsules and powering modules that can be combined to produce a wide variety of microphones. A single module plus a few capsules can provide the user with a flexibility that would otherwise require investing in a number of individual microphones. It converts quickly from one type of microphone to another by simply threading together various system components. All capsules use back-electret technology for uncompromised quality. Output of all powering modules is balanced, low impedance (200 ohms) and terminates in a standard 3-pin XLR connector. "Universal" powering module for the system. Powered by a single 1.5 Volt "AA" batter with a life of 150 hours, or phantom power (12-48V). On/off switch with LED indicator, bass rolloff switch (flat, -11dB). Use with ME62, ME64, ME65, ME66, ME67, MKE2-60, MKE40-60, MKE102-60. Black finish. Specifications: Frequency Response: 30 - 20,000 Hz +/-1 dB. Nominal Impedance: 200 Ohms.

Customer Reviews

Sennheiser Fits the Need for Filmmaking
I purchased the Sennheiser K6/ME67 microphone combo to use as a boom microphone for a documentary video production and am delighted with the results. The microphone delivers rich, clear sound and faithfully reproduced the quality of my actors' voices. If using this outdoors, a windscreen is definately recommended. German engineering is well known and respected and Sennheiser products met and exceeded my expectations. One of the greatest ideas behind this product line is that you can use various ME series capsule microphones in the K6 power unit for specific applications.

Well designed.
For a portable Phantom power unit It is a great design. It becomes part of the Microphone and works on one AA battery. Only a simple on off switch and High pass filter switch. On the bad side if you don't think to turn it off the battery is dead in a couple days. Keep a AA handy if using remotely.
