Title: Need help ID'ing a Sennheiser shotgun
Post by: tim in jersey on March 02, 2019, 03:49:06 PM

Buddy of mine that does location sound and video picked up a used Senn shoutgun and needs help ID'ing. Can anyone help?

K6 body? What model is the cap?

Imaginary +T.  :cheers:

The powering module is a K5, no?

Definitely an ME66 cap. The body is a K6. 2 versions of K6 One is just K6. One has a "C" in the model or a red dot on the box "RD",  they are both the same. C is the newer  designation. It just means less sensitive by I think 17db. Hard to tell them apart.

It's a K6 powering module with an ME 66 short gun capsule.
