Mungo Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Will be out around march https://en-us.sennheiser.com/2-channel-receiver-live-audio-productions-digital-6000 Transmitters are here http://de-de.sennheiser.com/news-sennheiser-kuendigt-neue-drahtlosserie-an All in all it's the 9000 series without the uncompressed HD mode and about 30% cheaper. It will be compatible to the EK 6042 slot receiver. I already heard the 9000 series transmitters in the 6000's LR mode thought the EK 6042 and was quite impressed by sound quality, especially dynamic range and frequency response. Despite Sony DWX /N the best sounding wireless ever in my opinion (no experience with Zaxcom though). Negative: You need special rechargeable battery packs for transmitters. Expensive. There will be an AA adapter but normal alkaline batteries only work around 90 minutes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 That's pretty cool! Especially combined with the 6042 receiver which is Superslot compatible. So far, that's a pretty unique system. I'd be very keen on trying that one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Looks interesting! I hope they will produce a small receiver with AA batteries for camera hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6042 is a small (slot-in) receiver suitable as a camera hop. Just no AA battery powering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I checked it (6042), but it's too expensive. Something similar like LR Series from Lectrosonics for competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ok, but that would be an altogether different product. Also, the LR isn't digital so it's not really competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Although I've heard less than complimentary reports of the 6042 (re weight and power usage) I think the fact it is compatible with analogue and digital TX is quite useful. Price wise it's about the same as 2 lectro LR with a much wider switching bandwidth. Does anyone know if the Lectrosonic SSM tx would work with this 6042?

Derek H Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 You'd have to run it in a Sennheiser 3000/5000 compatibility mode and take the quality hit compared to Lectro's native digital hybrid 400 mode. But yes it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes it would work. How bad is the "quality hit" when running an SSM tx in a senny mode? And is it worse than running a wisycom RX in a compatible Lectro 400 mode? Or is it the same difference?

Derek H Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 It's pretty good but watch out on sibilance. Not great on the "key test" (rattle car keys into the mic). Fine for most dialog. As far as I know there are no non-Lectrosonics built receivers that have an actual Lectro 400 digital hybrid compatibility mode. Digital Hybrid is Lectro's proprietary technology. If Wisycom has one in the MCR then that's news to me and would raise some questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the MCR42's DSP could 'emulate' other brand compounders, which it can Eg. SEN, SR, EVO, AL mode but nothing specifically for Lectro 400, although I read 'mode 6' might yield not a completely useless outcome.
