The Sennheiser EK 6042 is a professional dual-channel slot-mount wireless receiver designed for broadcast and ENG applications. Operating across a wide 470–654 MHz UHF range, it supports both analog and digital Sennheiser transmitters, delivering true diversity reception, ultra-low latency, and flexible integration with professional camera systems and audio workflows.
The Sennheiser EK 6042 Dual-Channel Slot-Mount Wireless Receiver is a high-performance broadcast-grade receiver engineered for professional ENG, film, and production environments. Designed to fit into standard camera receiver slots or external audio bag setups (with optional adapters), it provides exceptional flexibility for field recording and live production workflows.
Operating across an ultrawide 470–654 MHz UHF frequency range, the EK 6042 supports both analog and digital Sennheiser wireless transmitters, making it compatible with a broad range of systems including evolution wireless and 6000/9000 series transmitters (in LR mode). Its true diversity architecture ensures stable reception by minimizing dropouts and interference, even in challenging RF environments.
The receiver features two independent audio channels in a compact slot-mount design, enabling simultaneous reception from two transmitters. It delivers both analog and AES3 digital audio outputs, ensuring compatibility with modern broadcast and cinema equipment. With ultra-low latency (1.5 to 3 ms), it is ideal for time-critical audio applications.
Advanced configuration options include automatic setup via One Touch Easy Setup, a built-in spectrum scanner for frequency management, and a web server interface for remote configuration, import, and export of system settings. This makes it highly efficient for fast-paced production environments.
The EK 6042 can be integrated into professional cameras via optional adapters (UniSlot/SuperSlot or Sony interfaces) or used in audio bags with external power solutions, including Accupack battery systems. A front-panel display and intuitive controls further enhance usability in the field.
