The best lattice quantizers seem to be duals of extreme lattices. The quantizing constant associated with the dual lattice of Barnes's senary form φ6 is found, together with a new type of quantizing technique. The quantizing constant is better than expected in the sense that it is better than D*6 even though D6 provides a denser packing. This is the smallest dimension for which this occurs.
