Sennheiser Shows Exciting New Products at BVE2017 posted: 27/02/2017
Audio specialist Sennheiser is set to show its latest products, including the newly launched Digital 6000 Series wireless microphone system, on Stand K09 at the BVE Show at ExCeL London, which takes place between 28 February and 2 March. Also on display will be Sennheiser's AMBEO VR Mic, EK 6042, MKE 440, AVX and MKE 2 elements microphones, as well as its HME 27 and HMDC 27 broadcast headsets.
Digital 6000 series
Digital 6000, the latest member of Sennheiser's professional wireless microphone range, incorporates the acclaimed Long Range transmission mode and proprietary audio codec from Sennheiser's top-of-the-range Digital 9000 series to deliver impeccable RF wireless and audio performance. At the same time, the system fulfils the business needs of rental companies, theatres, broadcasters and houses of worship for a flexible two-channel wireless solution that allows the use of existing accessory infrastructures. Designed for demanding live productions, Digital 6000 also addresses the challenges of the shrinking UHF spectrum: The system eliminates intermodulation, enabling more channels to operate in less spectrum space.
Sennheiser's Digital 6000 wireless microphone series targets the rental and touring market, theatres and musical venues, houses of worship, broadcasters, and high-profile corporate customers. The receiver is available in two versions
AMBEO VR Mic
High-quality 3D audio that eliminates the boundaries between playback and reality - this is the promise of the AMBEO VR MIC. Up until now, VR productions had to record immersive audio with quite complicated microphone set-ups. The AMBEO VR Mic, which comes with a software plug-in for post-production of VR content, puts everything into a compact and easy-to-use handheld - making it an ideal tool for any professional VR production.
The AMBEO VR Mic is an ambisonic microphone fitted with four matched KE 14 capsules in a tetrahedral arrangement. This special design allows you to capture the sound that surrounds you from a single point. As a result, you get fully spherical ambisonics sound to match your VR video/spherical 360 content.
For playback, this representation is rendered binaurally, allowing you to virtually rotate the orientation of the perspective in all directions, horizontally and vertically. Ambisonics is also supported by all the major post-production and playback tools on the market today, making it the appropriate tool for Virtual Reality and all other applications involving 3D sound and interactively controlled audio.
Sennheiser's AMBEO VR Mic provides 3D audio recording in a compact, handheld format
The capsules of the VR Mic deliver A-format, a raw 4-channel output that has to be converted into a new set of 4 channels, the Ambisonics B-format. This is done by the specifically designed Sennheiser AMBEO A-B format converter plugin, which is available as a free download for VST, AU and AAX format for your preferred Digital Audio Workstation for both PC and Mac. B-format is a W, X, Y, Z representation of the sound field around the microphone, with W being the sum of all 4 capsules, whereas X, Y and Z are three virtual bi-directional microphone patterns representing front/back, left/right and up/down. Thus, any direction from the microphone can be auditioned by the listener during playback of Ambisonics B.
As well as showing the VR Mic on its stand, Sennheiser will be holding demonstrations in Gallery 4 throughout the Tuesday and Wednesday of the show. Further details and timings are available from the Sennheiser stand.
EK 6042 digital/analogue camera receiver
The EK 6042 two-channel camera receiver handles analogue and digital transmitters simultaneously and is Sennheiser's best performing analogue and digital receiver systems in one compact pack.
The EK 6042 configures automatically to every professional Sennheiser transmitter, whether analogue or digital or a mix thereof, identifying transmitter types, companders and frequencies via an IR link - across a bandwidth of a full 184 MHz - in seconds.
The EK 6042 has slot-in technology for 15-pin and 25-pin unislot cameras, backpanel adaptor for other camera types - using hot-swappable battery packs with exact read-out of battery time, USB port for convenient programming via a built-in web server, including imports and exports of entire configurations, as well as a hi-res OLED display, digital and analogue outputs, and auxiliary audio output for splitting the audio signal to other devices.
Setup is easily managed using any browser including imports and exports of the entire configuration via the built-in web server and is SuperSlot -compatible to work seamlessly with your existing equipment, such as ARRI, Panasonic and Sony, whilst the optional accessories, such as backpanel adapter and battery pack, makes it possible to use the EK 6042 stand alone as well. The automatic configuration makes it possible to set up any microphone in less than 5 seconds.
MKE 440 stereo DSLR microphone
A new V-shaped design of two shotguns is a fantastic solution for stereo audio captured by camera shoe-mounted microphones, which covers a stereo width equivalent to the image created by common 35mm camera lenses. The spread is very uniform and delivers high speech intelligibility in its focus.
The MKE 440 has two aligned and matched mini shotgun mics ensuring that the MKE 440 captures the audio you want. The stainless steel micro-mesh wind protection reduces wind noise and protects the fine high frequency details in your sound. The MKE 440 provides nicely balanced stereo ambience and amplifies the sound source in front of your camera.
Microphones are susceptible to creating structure-borne noise when being handled, e.g. when the camera they are mounted to is moved. The MKE 440 is
