Karri Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 They market it as "camera receiver", but they mention a panel for cameras without audio slots, that would enable using it in bag/cart. http://en-us.sennheiser.com/news-a-world-first-sennheisers-new-ek-6042-two-channel-camera-receiver-works-with-both-analogue-and-digital-transmitters Quote

resonate Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 "It's like speed dating for radio microphones" Analog AND digital receiver at the same time (ch1 can be analog and ch2 digital or any combination of both) , AES3 output thru Sound Devices Superslot, configuration including whole setup load/save thru web browser (it's running a web server internally), Configuration of all the settings of the transmitter from the SD 688 (the menu trims down to specific receiver options, so no clutter) AND the best thing - compatible with most of the Sennheiser wireless range all the way(HiDyn, 2000, G3) from 9000 series down to Evolution G3 series. Very impressive Sennheiser. To ideal wireless, one needs SD card recording at the transmitter. Wonder if they have something up their sleeves at the moment like that. Audio LTD already has SD recording feature for any transmitter used everywhere except US. Quote
Rasmus Wedin Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 I've waited a long time for Sennheiser to finally get their thumb out of their #%€ and make 2 channel receiver. This sure looks like it's gonna be great, but I fear the 9000-compability will make it a very expensive unit. I hope they will bring a version out, just for analouge txs, but I doubt it. Quote
Richard Thomas Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 I've found the wisycom receivers work rather well with any of the sennheiser transmitters, they receive battery telemetry too. Something I noticed from the video was that the new receiver only receives 9000 series in "long range mode", which I assume isn't the uncompressed modulation. I assume this is something they're saving for the big rack mount 9000 rx, so these may be cheaper Quote

I assume this is something they're saving for the big rack mount 9000 rx, so these may be cheaper this is correct. The modulation of the uncompressed "hd mode" is too complicated for a stable signal in rough work in the field with changing conditions and simple antennas. But all I've heard from LR mode is that it sounds absolutely great. Quote

MattinSTL Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 I'm dying to know the price. Quote

MattinSTL Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) I'm a bit scared of it I'm with you. I have a lot more high-end gear then I do low-end gear, but I can say, within the physical and mechanical limitations... I'm gaining more respect for Sennheiser. So far, no performance surprises or weird technical problems. Don't expect it to do something it wasn't built for and it won't let you down. I like the idea of a Sennheiser product to compete in this category. Edited September 21, 2015 by MattinSTL Quote
