SK 6212

Size matters – Performance counts

Now, the digital SK 6212 heralds a new era.

This mini bodypack complements the Digital 6000 family, benchmark for challenging digital transmission technology in modern audio productions.

Developed and designed hand in hand with key customers around the globe, the all-new entirely digital SK 6212 meets the highest requirements and so much more.

For performers, stylists and directors, the SK 6212 is neither heavy nor conspicuous. It is as small as a matchbox and conveniently lightweight, has no sharp edges or corners and is discreet and easy to conceal.

Furthermore, engineers appreciate exchangeable batteries and antennas, as well as direct operability and a dependable transmission.

The SK 6212 operates intermodulation-free and utilises an equidistant frequency grid that enables more efficient use of the constantly shrinking available frequency spectrum.

And even when things are taking a bit longer, don’t worry… the 6212’s operating time lasts unbelievable 12 hours.

The SK 6212 combines high expectations with the smallest possible design. It encapsulates hundreds of stories which we have heard from professionals in the world of theatres and music venues, large or small. Developed for today’s shows and equipped for the challenges of the future.

It keeps going. And going. And going.

Regardless of the type of musical performance, the SK 6212’s operation is secure, reliable and discreet. With 12 hours of battery life, the battery is designed for even the longest day of rehearsals. Weighing only 112 grams and with dimensions of just 63 x 47 x 20 mm, the SK 6212 is easy to conceal and has no annoying corners or edges. The antenna and battery are exchangeable, and an intuitive control concept with display and control buttons enables direct adjustments on the device.

Size: mini. Spectral efficiency and audio quality: maxi.

The newest member of the Digital 6000 series is also intermodulation-free in its transmission. Even in really difficult RF environments, the equidistant frequency grid permits easy and highly efficient channel configuration. It can also be combined with Digital 9000 and the EK 6042 in long-range mode. The legendary Sennheiser Digital Audio Codec (SeDAC) guarantees clear, artifact-free sound and optimum dynamics. In Link Density mode up to 5 links per 1 MHz bandwidth are possible.

The sum of all its nuances: A good show

The best show is and will remain the sum of its finest details. This is an idea which the SK 6212 has taken from professionals on the world’s stages, big and small. For example; the easy operation, or the easy-to-read display. The multiple attachment options or its seal against moisture. The fact that the display glass has been lowered by 0.3 millimeters – and several other details which make everyday life easier for both technicians and performers. Developed for high expectations, not for compromises

As with all Digital 6000 transmitters, the SK 6212 can be IR sync’ed, saving time and hassle – especially in live environments. The flexible antenna is detachable and field replaceable. Special effort was put into ensuring a good level of moisture resistance for the SK 6212, which features an additional inner sealing. The mini-transmitter is powered by a removable BA 62 lithium-polymer battery with a spectacular operating time of up to 12 hours. This means no more stress with battery life during long shows, especially if the bodypacks must be given to the dressing or make-up room a few hours before the actual show starts. The BA 62 battery can conveniently be recharged in the L 6000 rack-mount charger using the new LM 6062 charging module. As part of the Digital 6000 family, the SK 6212 is not only compatible with the 6000 series receivers – including the analogue/digital EK 6042 camera receiver – but also with the receiver of the Digital 9000 series when in Long Range Mode.
