I purchased two of these from B&H. [...] The second i've had no problems with.The K6 is the powering unit for interchangeable capsules made by Sennheiser. I own a ME66 and ME67. The ME66/K6 combo is standard for most of the low budget film work I do. The ME67/K6 is great for exteriors.My only guff with these mics is the highs tend to pop a little more than my ear likes, but this is esily correctable in post.

I use this powering module with an ME67 capsule. When running off AA batteries it creates some noise so I recommend using phantom from another source if possible. Also, it seems to drain AA's even when not in use. I've come back to dead batteries after not having used it over the weekend on several occasions.
Power your mic with phantom and this module will do it's job perfectly!

Comments about Sennheiser K6 Powering Module (Battery or Phantom):
I use the K6 with the ME66 capsule. The ability to run the combo off of battery power is great. It allows a high quality mic to be used with small, portable recorders that don't supply phantom power. Beautiful sound quality.

Comments about Sennheiser K6 Powering Module (Battery or Phantom):
I pair this unit up with my ME66 and ME67 super cartoid shotgun capsules, which are a breeze to switch between. I love the rolloff switch, which reduces handling noises tremendously for less-experienced boompole operators. Also, the option to use a battery or phantom power is perfect. I can't think of anything bad about this product.

Comments about Sennheiser K6 Powering Module (Battery or Phantom):
I have used the the K6 with the ME66 to get audio coverage at weddings as well as in indy film (on a boom pole) to capture actors' dialog. The ability to run the mic off phantom power or off of batteries is great. The final audio output when combined with the ME66 is wonderfully crisp.

Working with Sennheiser products for years, finally getting my own set-up is the next step in my career. I plan to continue using my new Sennheiser product for freelance and non-profit work as well as my own projects.
The ability to go to and from phantom power and the quality recording capacity.

Comments about Sennheiser K6 Powering Module (Battery or Phantom):
I have been using a K6 to power my Sennheiser ME67 microphone for the past 5 years, and have yet to experience any difficulties with any of the 3 units I own/use--despite the fact that they have sometimes received rough treatment out in the field. The relatively expensive initial investment is worth it, since you will end up owning a product that you can use for many years.

Comments about Sennheiser K6 Powering Module (Battery or Phantom):
I use this to power the Sennheiser ME66.
I love that this mic can use a battery or phantom power and it's the K6 that let's that happen.
Can't say the ME66 is the most professional mic out there, but it's certainly a step in the right direction to getting good sound.
The K6 powering module does what it is supposed to do and works great with the mic.
