Let's get into it. Lionus Tech Tips coverage of NAB 2015 is powered by Sennheiser, Kingston, and linda.com. So, the moment I got into the Sennheiser booth, I was told that they had a new audio product that as a video guy would really impress me. So, I went into it not really knowing what to expect. They handed me this new Sennheiser AVX. Now, if this looks really simple, that is by design. As I mentioned in our gear video, we've been using Sennheiser G3s for a long time. But the idea behind this device is to make wireless audio a very simple and quick process, especially if you're on a tight timeline. You simply plug it into a camera or audio recorder's XLR port, and the receiver powers on and pairs to the prepaired microphone. This really speeds up any audio setup you'll have to do with a hammer or lav mic wirelessly. If you have ever had to shoot video as a one-man band like I have in the past, you will appreciate how simple this AVX is to use. Sennheiser has targeted this product to people who do a lot of video work but can't afford to have audio take up big chunk of their setup time. And for show coverage like we do, I see this being a very handy tool to have. Moving on to Sennheiser's new MK2 digital and clip mic digital. These are two iOS specific lav mics that Sennheiser has made in partnership with Apogee. Physically, each mic has a built-in preamp designed by Apogee to give clean quality audio straight into your iPhone or iPad. Both mics feature a lightning connector at the bottom for easy input into an iPhone 5 or later and most current iPads. The mics come included with a clip to rig the mic to a shirt or jacket and are easy to use with Sennheiser's iOS app that works in tandem with either one of these new lav mics. I see this mic being great for journalists on the go who want to record interviews while only needing to bring around their iPhone or iPad or even simply to use as a quality mic source on a conference call. The MK2 is intended for slightly more professional applications like documentary interviews and live events where the Clip Mic Digital is intended for anyone who wants a quality audio solution without buying any other equipment to get it. The last thing that really caught my eye at the booth was Sennheiser's finalized version of their Sera surround microphone system. At the heart of the system, you have the SPM8000 stereo microphone connected into their SBP8000 unit with this interesting double analog XLR cable. What this all adds up to is a stereo microphone setup that really brings you into the atmosphere of wherever the mic is placed in. Trying it out myself, I see this being great for sports events that really want you to feel like you're sitting right in the arena with everyone else. Thank you to Sunheiser for sending us here this year. If you're at the show, be sure to check out all the other great audio gear they have at their booth.
