Sennheiser AMBEO VR 3D Microphone

Description

Designed for 360° immersive applications, the Sennheiser AMBEO VR is a microphone intended to bring the full vision of VR content creators to life in all its four-channel glory. Indeed, the microphone utilizes four KE 14 capsules situated in a tetrahedral arrangement to ensure that from wherever you’re standing, the AMBEO will record the surrounding audio in a spherical manner, resulting in true Ambisonics recordings.
