thanks to Sennheiser and Kingston for powering our NAB coverage this year

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.280

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.000
NAB 2016 we went to visit our friends at the Sennheiser Booth to see some of

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:19.240
their new product launches first up we have sennheiser's new MK 440 on camera

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:23.439
microphone this mic will be a welcome step forward for anyone who has

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.320
previously used the MK 400 on camera microphone the slightly odd vshape of

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:31.720
the microphone is due to the Dual shotgun mics that Sennheiser has placed

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:35.000
in the MK4 40 the result of this is a mic designed to capture everything

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.719
within your camera's view while also rejecting Sound Outside the camera's

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.879
frame giving a very focused allaround recording the Dual mics and the 440 are

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:47.840
shock mounted internally within the microphone's micro mesh enclosure making

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.879
the unit easier to maintain and use there's also a deadcat cover for

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:56.520
extremely windy situations when needed power-wise the MK 440 makes use of two

00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.559
AAA batteries making it fairly easy to never have a problem powering it here's

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

00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.040
Sennheiser Booth testing the MK 440 this

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

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

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:18.920
sounds like slightly off access to my right what do you guys think of how it

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.240
sounds let me know in the comments down below next up siser was showing off

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:28.400
their two new additions to their partner products with ap Electronics they have

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:33.000
their new hand mic digital and MK4 digital made for use with USB audio

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:37.000
devices as well as iOS products the hand mic digital is great for high ambient

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.920
noise situations giving very strong Clarity to vocals a good solution for

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:45.960
journalists that need good audio on location with the MK4 digital using

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:50.079
sennheiser's excellent MK4 voice over mic that will give live streamers a

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:54.560
great option for broadcast quality sound using their new USB connection available

00:01:52.040 --> 00:02:00.079
to the digital version Sennheiser also had their demo of the 3D ambo mic which

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:04.000
is geared towards 360 video and VR applications this was my first time

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.200
trying the ambio demo and I was honestly really impressed I was greeted by a demo

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

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:17.239
throughout the space I was surprised how accurately you could feel the sound of

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:19.400
the piano change VR and 360 video rigs

00:02:17.239 --> 00:02:24.000
are popping up quite frequently now and all of them are in need of an audio

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.120
solution like the ambio senheiser also mentioned that they are working on ways

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.480
of mounting the ambio directly into the camera's mounting point in order to make

00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:34.760
sure that the mic does not obstruct the camera shots in any way thanks again to
