3D Audio remains a buzzword in the music industry in 2017. As well as presenting its AMBEO VR Mic, an Ambisonics microphone designed especially for the VR community, Sennheiser will be helping users explore and embrace the exciting possibilities of its AMBEO technologies with a focus on its AMBEO Music Blueprints website. This valuable resource helps users learn how to record, mix and deliver live music as an immersive 3D audio experience. There will be daily Blueprint demos at the booth, taking the audience through the workflow recommended to create 3D music for headphones (AMBEO for Binaural), for VR content (AMBEO for Virtual Reality) and for 9.1 loudspeakers (AMBEO for loudspeakers). The AMBEO area will showcase its AMBEO Music Blueprint microphones, namely the Neumann KU 100 dummy head, the AMBEO VR mic and the Sennheiser MKH 800 Twin.
AMBEO Music Blueprints is an online guide dedicated to providing information on recording and mixing live music to deliver a 3D experience on headphones, loudspeakers or for virtual reality

Wireless monitors from the 2000 and evolution wireless series will also be on show.
Recording microphones include the Sennheiser MK 4 and MK 8, the famous Neumann classics U 87 Ai, U 47 fet and M 149 Tube, as well as the recent TLM 107, TLM 102 and TLM 103, the latter also being an excellent choice for the home studio.
The MK 4 digital true condenser microphone features Apogee A/D conversion and pre-amp technology - ready for great recordings on iOS and USB devices
Sennheiser will also be presenting mobile recording microphones designed in collaboration with Apogee Electronics. Besides the ClipMic digital and MKE 2 digital for iPhones, the most prominent member in the line is the new MK 4 digital for high-quality music recordings on iOS and USB devices. Meanwhile, for GoPro users, Sennheiser's upcoming microphone for GoPro HERO4 cameras, the MKE 2 elements promises to add breathtaking sound to the exciting footage delivered by the HERO4.
Besides the new HD 200 Pro, professional headphones on show include the HD 380 PRO, HD 280 PRO, HD 6, HD 25 and HD 25 LIGHT.
At the booth, a dedicated area with Neumann monitor loudspeakers ranging from the new KH 80 DSP and the KH 120 and KH 310 nearfields to the KH 810 subwoofer will provide ample opportunity for A-B testing various set-ups.
