SENNHEISER’S 6000 SERIES

The 6000 series as used in Bring It On consisted of three components: the SK6212 digital bodypack transmitters, the EM6000 digital receivers, and the LM6000 charging module.

Matchbox-sized at 63 x 47 x 20mm, the SK6212 bodypack is about half the size we’re used to. Weight is also about half, at 112g total with the BA62 lithium-polymer rechargeable battery on board. LiPo, especially on days with two shows. Greg showed me one unit that had been on for four hours and still indicated a full battery. LiPo batteries do wear out eventually, but Sennheiser says users can expect well over 500 duty cycles before replacement.
