Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic

Have you ever been on a roller coaster? Have you ever jumped out of an airplane? with wearing Virtual Reality glasses you can get pretty close to that experience. Until now, however, the sound has lagged a bit behind the spectacular 3D image. with the Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic changes this. with this microphone allows you to record sound from the front, back, above and below in one fell swoop.

The Ambeo VR Mic has four membranes and therefore sends out four separate signals. with the supplied cable allows you to connect the outputs of the microphone to, for example, four inputs of your sound card or of your recorder. The membranes are arranged according to the Ambisonics principle. This is a technique that has been around since the 1970s but has never really taken off because of its complexity. But thanks in part to the Ambeo VR Mic, it is now much easier to immerse yourself in sound.

The complexity of the Ambisonics technique lies mainly in the post-processing. It is not a matter of sending the signal from each membrane to the right speaker. Signals must be added together and subtracted from each other to arrive at the correct distribution. It's similar to with the mid/side recording technique but with four microphones instead of two. Fortunately, the Ambeo VR Mic comes with with a very handy plug-in that does all the math for you.

Pay attention! The Ambeo VR Mic requires four separate XLR inputs with phantom power on each input.
