Is it Possible K6 Power Module use for non-sennheiser K-6 Series Microphones?
Hi, I using Rode NTG-3 Microphone now, I want to find 48v phantom power supply Module for this mic, because I want to use outdoor and connect it to wireless transmitter, the transmitter do not have any phantom power provide. I know there are some power supply in BOX type, but I want a smaller one.
I found sennheiser has a product call K6 Power Module, is this Power Module possible use for non-sennheiser K-6 Series Microphones? Thanks |

No, absolutely not. The K6 power module does NOT PROVIDE phantom power, it TAKES phantom power. The K6 plus a head containing the mic capsule makes up a complete mic; it is not a stand-alone device.
I assume you have a Sennheiser G2 or G3 wireless setup. Sennheiser does make a plug-on wireless transmitter that can provide phantom power, the SKP-2000. Sennheiser Worldwide - SKP 2000 |

Thank you Steve, I am not using Sennheiser G2 or G3 wireless transmitter, I am using Sony WRR, WRT series wireless system. So do you know any other plug-on style 48V Power Module in the market?
PS. Sony WRT also has a plug-on wireless transmitter, now I using a old model WRT-808, no phantom power provide. SONY has a new model WRT-8P transmitter and can provide 48V, but it sell around US$1,000. |

The problem is that various manufacturers' wireless transmitters are generally not compatible with receivers made by other manufacturers. So I'm afraid you're stuck with getting the Sony plug-on transmitter if you go that way. But what exactly is the setup you're trying to achieve? Are you thinking of putting the shotgun on a boom with a wireless hop back to the camera? Do you have the Sony body-pack transmitter?

I have both body-pack transmitter and plug-on tape transmitter, I just want to use Rode mic with boom mic Pole, and I do not want it connect with long cable.

I think "NTG-3 > Power Module > transmitter .....air...... receiver > Camera" is not possible in this time. Just like you say: " NTG-3 > 2m cable > MM-1> transmitter .....air...... receiver > Camera", this is the best way for me.
It's OK! At least I can Separate the Boom mic from the camera. Thanks, Steve |
Re: Is it Possible K6 Power Module use for non-sennheiser K-6 Series Microphones?
The MM-1 is a great solution. It will power the mic and more importantly give the boom operator a headphone feed so he can hear if he is picking up good sound. To boom without headphones is pointless in my opinion, it would be like operating a camera without a viewfinder...
