NAMM 07: New Sennheiser wirele mics and Neumann monitor loudspeaker

Sennheiser and Neumann launches at NAMM NAMM 2017 will see Sennheiser launch XS Wireless 1, a series of six wireless microphone sets for the budget-conscious user looking for exceptional ease of use and fast set-up. The audio specialist will also preview XS Wireless 2, which will become available later in 2017 and take the benefits of XSW 1 further. Also, the renowned evolution wireless 300 G3 and 500 G3 series will be expanded with new A1 frequency variants (470 to 516 MHz) for the USA and Canada. For those who love to use their monitoring headphones for listening to music, too, Sennheiser will be launching an ideal and affordable solution - the new HD 200 Pro headphones.

Neumann.Berlin will launch the brand new KH 80 DSP monitor loudspeaker, which employs digital signal processing to ensure a new level of sound neutrality independent of the surroundings. The upcoming Neumann.Control app will automatically calibrate the speaker system.

Shaping the future of audio with AMBEO 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 (www.sennheiser.com/ambeo-blueprints). 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.

Other tools on show An ample choice of stage microphones from Sennheiser's evolution range and Neumann's KM series awaits NAMM visitors, alongside wireless microphones from Sennheiser's renowned evolution wireless G3, evolution wireless D1 and 2000 series. 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.

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.
