Studio and location monitoring

When it comes to accurate monitoring via headphones, Neumann's NDH 20 headphones are an outstanding solution for the studio. They are joined by Sennheiser's classic HD 25 as well as the HD/HMD 300 series headphones and headsets for the production studio and ENG work.

The Neumann NDH 20 studio headphones

No presentation of audio solutions at IBC would be complete without Neumann's studio monitors. These can be experienced in a stereo set-up in two configurations: two KH 80 DSP monitoring loudspeakers with a KH 750 DSP subwoofer, and two KH 310 monitoring speakers with a KH 750 DSP. Visitors can see both set-ups controlled by the Neumann.Control software.

The KH 750 DSP is a particularly compact subwoofer for broadcast, music and post production studios

AMBEO Immersive Audio

In the AMBEO immersive audio area, two full end-to-end workflows for multi-channel and Ambisonics productions will be displayed. A particular highlight of this set-up is the opportunity for visitors to create an audio mix for both workflows in VR - all via the immersive interface of dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT from Dear Reality.

Also on display is the prototype of the AMBEO Sports Microphone Array for capturing 360 audio.

Sennheiser and Dear Reality will show end-to-end workflows for immersive audio productions

Within the framework of the AMBEO for VR partnership program, Solid State Logic will show what a live immersive television mix recorded with the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic and various spot microphones can look like. Live workflow demos include decoding and mixing and will take place at the SSL stand (Hall 8, D.83) at 4 p.m. every day.
