Sennheiser AMBEO VR 3D Microphone
Reviewed by Lennis on B&H Photo Video
The Ambeo VR 3D microphone from Sennheiser is an outstanding piece of workmanship. This finely crafted mic is a work of art. The stunning audio it captures is of the highest quality and it easily fits in a mono, stereo, binaural, or Ambisonics recording scenario. Admittedly, it is a bit pricey for the casual recordist, but for someone needing to enter the realm of VR or 3D audio, there is no better way. And when you consider that your are getting four high-quality mics for the price, it becomes somewhat of a bargain. I cannot afford the best of everything, but with the Ambeo mic I can, at least, own the best of Ambisonics. Highly recommended for its intended purposes. ... More
Real Potential for Classical Binaural Recording
Sennheiser AMBEO VR 3D Microphone
Reviewed by Edward on B&H Photo Video
The frequency response and sound quality of this microphone, perhaps a little brighter than the Schoeps microphones I typically use, are suitable for classical music. My main application will be for chamber music and small ensembles. Beyond that, who knows, definitely choral music in reverberant venues. The sound over good headphones is incredible, totally immersive, making ordinary stereo sound flat. The microphone comes with a very nice foam insert, but a cardboard box. I bought a Pelican Vault V300 case for this insert, which will be better suited for mobile operations. The included Rycote shock mount has a 3/8-16 threaded socket and and a brass 5/8-32 stand adapter. The brass shines like a flashlight on stage, so I replaced it with a blacken version. The free software will get you started, but you need to look beyond that for better control. Instructions for software use could be better. A signal flow chart would be invaluable. ... More
Clean, clear sound

My maiden voyage with this mic was an open field on a windy day to record a university marching band. I used a blimp and a dead cat, got zero wind noise and nice clear audio that imported easily into Audition and Premiere.
Good purchase
