NAMM 2024: Sennheiser hosts demo double
- Details
The Sennheiser Group Live Room will offer visitors a chance to explore the rich histories of Sennheiser and Neumann by showcasing both companies’ timelines. A focal point within the space will be the unveiling of Sennheiser’s latest addition to its professional studio portfolio, with NAMM attendees having the unique opportunity to engage with the product for the very first time.
Additionally, a dedicated wireless station will feature the Evolution Wireless Digital family of wireless microphones, Digital 6000 wireless mics as well as XS Wireless IEM and evolution wireless G4 IEM systems.
An insulated ‘Whisper Room’ will accommodate selected Neumann microphones for demo. Moreover, Neumann will announce three new products. The MT 48 audio interface will receive an eagerly anticipated feature update, which, among other things, will allow working in immersive audio formats. Another focus is live sound: Neumann will show an omni capsule for the Miniature Clip Microphone (MCM) system as well as goosenecks of various lengths. Also on display will be much-requested additions to Neumann’s renowned family of vocalist capsule heads for wireless systems.
Two workstations will offer a hands-on experience of accessible immersive workflows. Here, spatial audio expert Dear Reality will introduce the successor of its popular dearVR PRO immersive spatialiser plugin, dearVR PRO 2. This plugin adds another layer of spatial experience to any professional audio production and puts the listener at the centre of the sound.
The second immersive workstation will showcase Merging Technologies audio interfaces. A highlight will be the company’s Venue Mission software for the Anubis audio interface.
The Immersive Demo Room will stage immersive presentations utilising Neumann KH monitors as well as Merging Technologies’ Anubis and Hapi MK II audio interfaces configured in a 9.1.6 and 360 RA immersive sound setup. The Neumann Soundstage will feature masterclasses by renowned music producers and engineers such as Ronald Prent, Eva Reistad, Matt Wallace, Will Kennedy, Elliot Scheiner, Gavin Lurssen, Reuben Cohen, Michael Romanowski, Jimmy Douglass, Chuck Ainlay, George Massenburg, Jim Anderson, Ulrike Schwarz, Eric Schilling, Herbert Waltl, Frank Filipetti, Sylvia Massey and Justin Gray.
“At Sennheiser, we're excited to collaborate with some of the brightest stars in the industry and invite them to share their knowledge at this year's NAMM Show,” says Ed Capp, sales director Americas. “This promises to be an exciting event, featuring the unveiling of a brand-new studio product and showcasing a selection of top solutions from the Sennheiser Group, all available for demos and testing by show visitors.”
