Hi,
I just bought two Sennheiser K6/ME66 with the hope to use them on
small recorders lacking phantom power (HiMD, Kork MR-1) or with bad
phantom (MicroTrack 2496). Unfortunately I had a bad surprise: when
powered by phantom the K6/ME66 works fine, but when powered by its
internal battery his noise increases above 8-10 kHz by about 12 dB
and a strong and large peak of noise (36dB higher than the
background) appears in the range 30-40 kHz. I have two K6/ME66, one
with peak at 32kHz, the other with peak at 37kHz. I exchanged the
batteries with no differencies. This makes them completely unusable
at 96 kHz and also at 48 kHz the noise increase is well appreciable
when running on internal batteries.
I'm VERY disappointed by this. I checked an old K6/ME6 (more than 15
years old) and it has a similar peak but narrower and weaker with no
background increase; I also noted that both noise were higher in the
old model (something like 4-5 dB).
Now I'd like to know if somebody else has experienced the same
problem with Sennheiser or with other brands.
