their new product launches first up we have sennheiser's new MK 440 on camera
0:17
microphone this mic will be a welcome step forward for anyone who has
0:20
previously used the MK 400 on camera microphone the slightly odd vshape of
0:25
the microphone is due to the Dual shotgun mics that Sennheiser has placed
0:29
in the MK4 40 the result of this is a mic designed to capture everything
0:33
within your camera's view while also rejecting Sound Outside the camera's
0:36
frame giving a very focused allaround recording the Dual mics and the 440 are
0:41
shock mounted internally within the microphone's micro mesh enclosure making
0:45
the unit easier to maintain and use there's also a deadcat cover for
0:49
extremely windy situations when needed power-wise the MK 440 makes use of two
0:54
AAA batteries making it fairly easy to never have a problem powering it here's

a short test clip of how the sounded on the noisy show floor so we're here at
1:02
Sennheiser Booth testing the MK 440 this
1:05
is what it sounds like when I'm directly in front of the camera about 3 ft away

1:13
sounds like slightly off access to my right what do you guys think of how it

their two new additions to their partner products with ap Electronics they have
1:25
their new hand mic digital and MK4 digital made for use with USB audio

1:34
noise situations giving very strong Clarity to vocals a good solution for
1:39
journalists that need good audio on location with the MK4 digital using
1:43
sennheiser's excellent MK4 voice over mic that will give live streamers a
1:47
great option for broadcast quality sound using their new USB connection available

to the digital version Sennheiser also had their demo of the 3D ambo mic which
1:57
is geared towards 360 video and VR applications this was my first time
2:01
trying the ambio demo and I was honestly really impressed I was greeted by a demo
2:06
of a girl playing piano in the middle of a church and as I turned my head
2:09
throughout the space I was surprised how accurately you could feel the sound of
2:13
the piano change VR and 360 video rigs
2:17
are popping up quite frequently now and all of them are in need of an audio
2:21
solution like the ambio senheiser also mentioned that they are working on ways
2:25
of mounting the ambio directly into the camera's mounting point in order to make
2:28
sure that the mic does not obstruct the camera shots in any way thanks again to
