Sennheiser's Claus Menke accepting the award from Peter White, CEO of IABM
The Netherlands - Sennheiser's Esfera surround microphone system has been recognised with an IABM Design and Innovation Award. At the awards ceremony held on 13 September during the IBC in Amsterdam, the audio specialist received the award within the Audio category.

"We feel extremely honoured that the IABM's independent panel of experts has selected Esfera for the Audio award," said Claus Menke, head of portfolio management pro for Sennheiser's Professional Division.

"Immersive audio is one of our focus areas, an area which truly creates a difference for the viewers' TV experience. Esfera makes the lives of broadcast professionals a lot easier. The system enables them to efficiently capture authentic ambience using just two audio channels, and to convert this audio information to 5.1 at any point in the workflow, whether live or in post-production."
