SENNHEISER AND NEUMANN SHOWCASE RECORDING MICROPHONES ALONGSIDE 3D AUDIO CAPTURE TOOLS AND BEST-IN-CLASS MONITORING SOLUTIONS

Neumann U 87 Rhodium Edition The U 87 Rhodium Edition was created to honor the 50th anniversary of the classic microphone's release. Limited to only 500 units worldwide, this premium microphone is plated with rhodium, a material rarer than gold and more reflective than any other metal. Each of the meticulously crafted microphones is individually numbered with a certificate of authenticity hand-signed by Wolfgang Fraissinet, President, Neumann.Berlin.

Classic studio tools The joint Sennheiser and Neumann booth will also showcase the full line of microphones and monitors for professional studios and home recording use. Neumann microphones on display will include the U 87 ai, U 47 FET, TLM 67, TLM 102, TLM 103, TLM 107, M 147 Tube, M 149 Tube, KM 184 A, and the KU 100 dummy head. Sennheiser microphones on display will include the AMBEO VR Mic, MK 4 digital, MK 8, ClipMic digital, MKE 2 digital, and the MKH 800 TWIN. The MKH 800 TWIN features a dual-capsule design, which allows its pick-up pattern to be remotely controlled at the mixing desk or via a dedicated MKH 800 TWIN plug-in for DAWs, seamlessly allowing any intermediate characteristic. The free plug-in also allows easy management of multiple TWIN microphones for 3D audio recording.

Also featured is the Neumann line of precision studio monitors, which includes the brand new KH 80 DSP in white. Other Neumann monitors on display include the KH 810, KH 310, and KH 120.

AMBEO demonstrations in 1E04 Sennheiser will host demonstrations of its AMBEO 3D immersive audio technology in demo room 1E04 for the duration of the convention. The sessions will include a walk-through of AMBEO 3D audio for loudspeaker playback and the AMBEO VR microphone. Special guests such as producer and surround sound expert Tom Ammermann and sound designer and psychoacoustician Lasse Nipkow will join attendees to relate their experiences with the technology. The schedule of demonstration and listening sessions is as follows:

Tom Ammermann - 10/18 at 11:00 AM; 10/19 at 12:00 PM; 10/20 at 11:00 AM

In this Electro Pop focused session, attendees will hear 3D audio mixes from Booka Shade and Kraftwerk. Participants can look forward to engrossing immersive sound, and Tom will be open for questions.

Lasse Nipkow - 10/18 at 1:00 PM; 10/19 at 2:00 PM; 10/20 at 1:00 PM

EDM producers aim to fully envelop nightclub audiences in sound. 3D audio offers immense potential to increase the immersiveness of that experience and engage the emotions of the audience. Lasse discusses the future of dance music and 3D audio and how it relates to film sound, while delving into explanations of relevant psychoacoustic phenomena via sample recordings and videos.

Gregor Zielinsky - 10/18 at 3:00 PM; 10/19 at 4:00 PM; 10/20 at 9:00 AM

Tonmeister Gregor Zielinsky, Sennheiser, will present examples of live and studio AMBEO productions. Also, the MKH 800 TWIN plug-in will be explained and presented in a live session. This free plug-in makes working with the double-capsule MKH 800 TWIN easier and more flexible.

Jim Anderson & Ulrike Schwarz - 10/18 at 5:00 PM

Live recording experts Jim Anderson and Ulrike Schwarz of Anderson Audio New York will present audio captured at this year's Chelsea Music Festival, delivered via Sennheiser's immersive AMBEO 3D audio format. The recordings feature works by Beethoven, Ravel, and Gershwin.

TW07 Tech Behind the Tools: Production to Playback Friday, October 20, 9:00 am - 10:30 am (Rm 1E12) This 90-minute panel of engineers and technologists, experts in their fields, will educate attendees about the technology behind a different product, tool or service on the journey from audio production through playback. The panel features V ronique Larcher, co-director AMBEO Immersive Audio, Sennheiser. http://www.aes.org/events/143/workshops/?ID=5590

Game Audio & VR: GA14 - Immersive Headphone Audio Reproduction in VR/AR Friday, October 20, 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm (Rm 1E13) Presenting virtual and augmented-reality content via head-mounted displays is a key focus for content creators and technology manufacturers. This display method allows for mobility and unconstrained movements and enables virtual content to be immersively embedded into the real world. Headphone transparency to environmental sounds and the proper application of augmented audio content to the real acoustical environment are among the major technological challenges we face. Panelists will discuss these challenges for signal processing and headphone acoustics for different AR & VR application requirements.

The panel is chaired by Juergen Peissig, Sennheiser, and features V ronique Larcher, co-director AMBEO Immersive Audio, Sennheiser. http://www.aes.org/events/143/gameaudio/?ID=5699
