Sennheiser, Neumann, Dear Reality and Merging Technologies showcase end-to-end audio solutions for broadcasting, studio and live audio on an interactive booth
The Sennheiser Group invites NAB visitors to embark on a remarkable sonic journey at booth 4732 in Central Hall. The Experience Booth will be a fully integrated space where all microphones and headsets on show can be tried interactively. This is the perfect opportunity to get enveloped in rich sound - from Neumann studio microphone classics and Sennheiser's MKH 8000 RF condenser microphone series, to Merging Technologies' Anubis and Hapi, as well as the group's complete professional headphone offering. Here's more information on the highlights at booth C4732:
Sennheiser MKH 8030 RF condenser microphone and new accessories for the MKH 8000 series The long-awaited MKH 8030 figure-of-eight RF condenser microphone unlocks M-S, double M-S, and Blumlein stereo recording options for the recording professional. The sound signature of the MKH 8030 has been carefully engineered to blend in harmoniously with the sound of the other MKH 8000 series microphones. The MKH 8030 is also a great choice wherever the highest attenuation of neighbouring sound sources is required - be it a PA system whose sound needs to be eliminated or an adjacent instrument that must not be picked up. Their special RF condenser principle and the symmetrical capsule design endows the MKH 8000 series microphones with a combination of advantages that can only be found in this series: Remarkable sensitivity paired with durability in adverse climatic conditions, wide frequency response, low self-noise, and a natural, coherent sound image with no off-axis coloration.

In addition to the full MKH range, Sennheiser also showcases new accessories: To accommodate the left/right orientation of the MKH 8030, the MZE extension tubes of the series have been fitted with a rotatable head. The MZGE 8000 tube connector has been improved, now featuring a more robust design. New in the accessory portfolio is the MZH 8042 gooseneck, which brings the exceptional audio quality of a connected MKH microphone, for example the MKH 8040, to the lectern.
The MKH 8030 and the new accessories will be available from May 2024. Find out more about the MKH 8030 here.
Streamlined and improved broadcast headset portfolio At NAB, Sennheiser showcases its streamlined and improved headset portfolio for broadcast applications, which will become available from July 1, 2024. To make the selection of the right headset easier and clearer, improved headset models can now be combined with a choice of five separately available cables.
The lightweight, open HMD 46 (dynamic mic) and HME 46 (electret mic) headsets are ideal for intercom use, both featuring improved speech intelligibility.
The closed, supra-aural HMD 26 (dynamic mic) and HME 26 (electret mic) headsets are ideal for outside broadcast applications and now boast switchable ActiveGard (off/95 dB/110 dB). Sennheiser's ActiveGard protects the wearer's hearing from sudden sound bursts without interrupting the audio signal - an added safety feature that differs from traditional acoustic shock clipping circuitry. Both models are also available as a single-sided version, the HMD 26 S and HME 26 S.
The closed, circumaural top-end series HMD 27 and HME 27 ensure highest monitoring accuracy in loud environments and outstanding comfort for the wearer. These models now also come with switchable ActiveGard (off/95 dB/110 dB). The HMDC 27 is additionally fitted with NoiseGard active noise reduction.
Last but not least, the closed, circumaural HMD 300 ActiveGard headset for backstage communications has been fitted with a new dynamic boom mic and arm, delivering improved performance. It is also available as a single-sided model (HMD 300 S), and as the cost-effective HMD 300 X3K1, which has the XLR-3/1/4 jack plug cable included.
Except for the latter, all headsets need to be combined with a choice of XLR-3 / 1/4 jack, XLR-4F and XLR-5 M cables or unterminated cables (single and twin). All HME headsets are now designed to work with phantom power only.
Sennheiser's portfolio of broadcast headsets has been streamlined and improved, pictured are (from left to right): the open HME 46; the closed, supra-aural HMD 26; the closed, circumaural HMDC 27 with NoiseGard active noise reduction; and the closed, circumaural HMD 300 X3K1 with included XLR-3/1/4 jack plug cable
The Neumann MT 48 becomes an immersive audio interface Neumann's reference-class audio interface MT 48 will be shown with both the Music Mission for content creation and the brand new Monitor Mission. The latter turns the device into a freely configurable monitor controller and audio interface for stereo, surround and immersive formats. The MT 48 will also be used for demoing Neumann's KH line of studio monitors as well as the NDH 20 closed-back and NDH 30 open-back headphones.
Additionally, Neumann will show its well-established line of broadcast microphones, the BCM 104 and BCM 705, which were specially developed to meet the demands of radio, podcast and live streaming. Also on display will be a selection of N
