00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:10,280
check them out at the links in the video description to kick off our coverage at

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,000
NAB 2016 we went to visit our friends at the Sennheiser Booth to see some of

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:19,240
their new product launches first up we have sennheiser's new MK 440 on camera

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,439
microphone this mic will be a welcome step forward for anyone who has

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,320
previously used the MK 400 on camera microphone the slightly odd vshape of

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,720
the microphone is due to the Dual shotgun mics that Sennheiser has placed

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,000
in the MK4 40 the result of this is a mic designed to capture everything

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,719
within your camera's view while also rejecting Sound Outside the camera's

10
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:42,879
frame giving a very focused allaround recording the Dual mics and the 440 are

11
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:47,840
shock mounted internally within the microphone's micro mesh enclosure making

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,879
the unit easier to maintain and use there's also a deadcat cover for

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:56,520
extremely windy situations when needed power-wise the MK 440 makes use of two

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,559
AAA batteries making it fairly easy to never have a problem powering it here's

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,479
a short test clip of how the sounded on the noisy show floor so we're here at

16
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:07,040
Sennheiser Booth testing the MK 440 this

17
00:01:05,479 --> 00:01:11,280
is what it sounds like when I'm directly in front of the camera about 3 ft away

18
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,880
this is what it sounds like slightly off access to my left and this is what it

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,920
sounds like slightly off access to my right what do you guys think of how it

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,240
sounds let me know in the comments down below next up siser was showing off

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:28,400
their two new additions to their partner products with ap Electronics they have

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,000
their new hand mic digital and MK4 digital made for use with USB audio

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:37,000
devices as well as iOS products the hand mic digital is great for high ambient

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,920
noise situations giving very strong Clarity to vocals a good solution for

25
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:45,960
journalists that need good audio on location with the MK4 digital using

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,079
sennheiser's excellent MK4 voice over mic that will give live streamers a

27
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:54,560
great option for broadcast quality sound using their new USB connection available

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:02:00,079
to the digital version Sennheiser also had their demo of the 3D ambo mic which

29
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:04,000
is geared towards 360 video and VR applications this was my first time

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,200
trying the ambio demo and I was honestly really impressed I was greeted by a demo

31
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:12,120
of a girl playing piano in the middle of a church and as I turned my head

32
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:17,239
throughout the space I was surprised how accurately you could feel the sound of

33
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:19,400
the piano change VR and 360 video rigs

34
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:24,000
are popping up quite frequently now and all of them are in need of an audio

35
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:27,120
solution like the ambio senheiser also mentioned that they are working on ways

36
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:30,480
of mounting the ambio directly into the camera's mounting point in order to make

37
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:34,760
sure that the mic does not obstruct the camera shots in any way thanks again to
