Latin America. 4k is the word that is on everyone's lips, with 8k in its beginnings. To ensure that high-resolution television can reach its full quality potential, excellent audio production is vital. Sennheiser presented its solutions for "HD Audio" and "Immersive Audio" with the Digital 9000 wireless microphone system in the lead role, and the stellar presentations of the Sphere 5.1 surround microphone system and the new Dante network card for the Digital 9000.
What we hear affects what we perceive and how we feel. This has a dramatic effect on horror cinema, but the principle is applicable to almost all situations: "Studies on viewer perception have shown that very high image quality is only really perceived when the audio quality is also up to par," explained Sven Boetcher, Pro Audio Marketing Manager at Sennheiser. "This is where the microphone – as the first link in the production chain – takes on special importance. That's why at IBC we're showcasing audio solutions that make a difference and help truly define high definition."
Setting a standard, the Digital 9000 is Sennheiser's wireless microphone system. It can transmit high-definition sound without compression or data reduction and is able to assume everything that the most demanding professionals can demand of it.
Sennheiser also introduced its MKH 8000 series analog/digital cannon microphones that ensure that the sound on set is recorded with complete accuracy and incredibly realistic quality.
The Sphere surround microphone system epitomizes fast, hassle-free operation with as much freedom as possible in workflow design. Just two channels are enough to achieve full 5.1 sound – conversion can take place at any point in the production workflow – whether live or in post-production.
