Sennheiser ME66/K6 – Super-Cardioid Mic Capsule with K6

[Ty Ford]

Craig,

Why not compare the two and let us know what you think? The K6 series is sort of a “student grade” series, meaning there are better sounding mics out there, usually for more money.

I can certainly hear the quality difference and I really like the ATs a lot. But I need a boom mike for 40 teams, 5 teams at a time, and the Sennheiser’s were ordered before I took this position.

Funny though, I have always found that more professional equipment is easier to use and easier to teach and holds up better.

I thought the Sennheiser ME66/K6 was an outdoor shot gun till I noticed the box said Super-Cardioid Short Shotgun Condenser Microphone so I thought I’d give them a try and not risk damage to my ATs.

The reviews seemed to indicate folks are using it in a variety of locations.

Craig,

Any mic with a hollow interference tube can cause problems inside or out. It all depends of the reflectiveness of the environment.
