PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Digital 6000 Series
For more information about the individual products in the Digital 6000 series, see „Products in the Digital 6000 series“.
For information about the available accessories, see „Accessories“.
►
When perfection is required there can be no compromises. The Digital
6000 system combines experience, high standards and excellent instincts
for day-to-day work in the modern live event industry into one simple
promise: no compromises in RF robustness, sound or workflow.
The 2-channel system delivers quality, reliability and efficiency in a compact 19-inch/1 RU format. The series incorporates the renowned Long
Range mode with the proprietary audio codec (SeDAC) of the wireless
masterpiece, Digital 9000.
True bit diversity evaluates the quality of each individual bit and combines
the bits from the two parallel reception streams. In combination with a
switching bandwidth of 244 MHz and equidistant frequency grid, it provides the greatest possible transmission reliability even in demanding RF
environments. Digital 6000 is compatible with many other Sennheiser antennas and capsules and has an easy-to-follow user interface on clear
OLED displays, digital and analog outputs and AES 256 encryption. The
Dante Version with an Audinate Brooklyn II Card offers an additional RJ-45
connector.
The series is ideal for touring and rental companies, theater and musical
productions, broadcasting, large places of worship and corporate applications.

The Digital 6000 Series
The 6000 series includes a 2-channel receiver, a bodypack transmitter, a
handheld transmitter and a modular 19-inch rack-mounted charger.
Digital 6000 combines the benefits of modern audio technology with an intelligent operating concept. The frequency range can be scanned directly
with the receiver, which then distributes free frequencies within the network. The equipment can also be monitored and configured via Wireless
System Manager (WSM) software. The high-quality OLED display provides
an overview with a multitude of operating data. Intelligent home screens
lead you directly to important contextual information with no need for timeconsuming navigation. In addition to the popular RF graphs, the link quality
display (LQI) allows a real-time evaluation of the wireless link quality. That
allows you to identify and eliminate risks immediately.
Digital 6000 integrates seamlessly into existing digital and analog infrastructures. The EM 6000 receiver has a digital AES3 output with word
clock inputs and outputs, high-quality transformer-balanced analog XLR-3
outputs, 6.3 mm (1/4") jack outputs and a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output.
The Dante version with an Audinate Brooklyn II card offers an additional
Amphenol RJ-45 jack plug for integrating the receiver into a Dante network.
The Digital 6000 series includes a 2-channel receiver available in 2 versions, a bodypack transmitter, a handheld transmitter and a modular 19inch rack-mounted charger.

EM 6000 | EM 6000 DANTE 2-channel receiver
►
The digital 2-channel receiver works with a switching bandwidth of
244 MHz (470 to 714 MHz), which is covered by three transmitter versions.
For larger 4-channel systems, you can cascade up to EM 6000s without using additional antenna splitters and you then require only one pair of antennas.
The 2-channel receiver is available in 2 variants:
• EM 6000
• EM 6000 DANTE
The EM 6000 DANTE variant is identical in construction to the EM 6000.
The only difference is that it also has an integrated Dante™ interface (Audinate Brooklyn II) for connecting the device to a Dante™ network. Two
modes are supported for the two Dante™ sockets: Redundant and Through.

Rechargeable batteries and battery compartments
Rechargeable batteries:
To operate the transmitters, we recommend using the rechargeable batteries BA 60 (for the SKM 6000 handheld transmitter), BA 61 (for the
SK 6000 bodypack transmitter) or BA 62 (for the SK 6212 bodypack transmitter). The rechargeable batteries are available as accessories. These
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have been especially developed to
achieve the optimum service life and operational reliability for the transmitters.
Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries do not have a memory effect and have
a greater power density than primary batteries and NiMh rechargeable
batteries. In addition, the remaining battery life of the transmitters can be
read to the exact minute on the transmitter and receiver.
These rechargeable batteries must be charged only with Sennheiser
L 6000 (BA 60, BA 61 and BA 62) and L60 (BA 60 and BA 61) chargers.
Battery compartments:
With the B60 battery compartment (for the SKM 6000 handheld transmit-
ter) and B61 battery compartment (for the SK 6000 bodypack transmitter)
that are also available as accessories, you can use AA batteries and rechargeable AA batteries. However, the battery life of the transmitters is
shorter than the BA 60 and BA 61 rechargeable battery life and depends
heavily on the quality, capacitance and age of the batteries or rechargeable
batteries used.
The remaining battery life can only be roughly estimated from the battery
icon and a specific battery life cannot be displayed. At the end of the battery life, the transmitters may also experience oscillating on-off switching
behavior.
The use of battery compartments may be a solution for rehearsals or to
avoid disasters, but should generally not be considered as part of an event.
