A full complement of classic recording microphones will also be on display: From Neumann, this will be the U87 Ai, TLM 67, KM 184 and several other recording staples. Recording microphones from Sennheiser will include the recently introduced MK 8 multi-pattern microphone, as well as classic models from the MKH range, which can be turned into digital microphones using the MZD 8000 digital module.
The booth will also feature a 9.1 monitoring set-up, consisting of Neumann KH 310 and KH 120 nearfields as well as KH 810 subwoofers. During the exhibition, Sennheiser will unveil a 'design update' to one of its most sought-after professional headphones - targeting the next generation of recording engineers and music production professionals.
Visitors to the Sennheiser and Neumann booth will have the opportunity to experience the promise of fully immersive audio as recorded by Sennheiser using its AMBEO VR Mic in an AMBEO demonstration complete with 3D glasses - further closing the gap between audio playback and reality. The AMBEO VR Mic, which is scheduled to become commercially available in November 2016, is an ideal tool for VR production, presented in a compact form factor.
As part of the Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality Conference (AVAR), which the AES will hold in parallel to this year's Convention, Sennheiser will participate in a panel on Immersive Sound Capture for Cinematic Virtual Reality, which takes place on 1 October from 11:30 to 12:30 in Theatre Room 441.
