Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic Ambisonic 3D Microphone
Made for virtual reality and immersive video, the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic records full-sphere, 360-degree sound from a single point with four matched capsules.
Its four KE 14 cardioid capsules sit in a tetrahedral cluster and record in Ambisonics. Sennheiser’s A-B converter, a VST and AAX plugin, turns the four capsule signals into B-format for post. The plugin can correct the mic’s position and rotation and output formats such as YouTube 360 video.
The mic comes with a split cable to four XLRs, a 1.5 m extension cable, a Rycote suspension mount, and a foam windshield.
