Neumann to Showcase Recording Microphones and Monitors at AES 2017; Sennheiser Presents AMBEO WorkshopsAt the 142nd AES Convention, running May 20 - 23 in Berlin, Germany, studio specialist Neumann will present its comprehensive portfolio of recording solutions. Highlights on show will range from the KU 100 dummy head for binaural recording to the new KH 80 DSP monitor loudspeaker. Sennheiser will also hold multiple workshops during the AES Convention covering various aspects of its AMBEO 3D immersive audio technology. Visitors to the Neumann stand in the AES exhibition area will be able to get hands on with some of Neumann's most acclaimed studio microphones: the TLM 107 and U 87 Ai multi-pattern, large-diaphragm condenser microphones, the KM 184 "pencil" condenser microphone, and the M 149 Tube microphone. Also available to experience is the KU 100, the legendary dummy head from Neumann for binaural recordings, as well as a pair of the brand-new KH 80 DSP monitor loudspeakers. For project studios and home studios, the highly capable TLM 102 and TLM 103 large-diaphragm condensers are on show. The Neumann U 87, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, will take center stage in a lecture given by Martin Schneider, acoustics developer within Sennheiser and Neumann's competence center acoustics. On Sunday, May 21, 2:30 - 2:45pm (in Salon 2+3, Rome) he will provide a brief yet highly illuminating look at this first-generation transistorized condenser microphone, and talk about microphone development and recording technology in the 1960s and 1970s. "Can you hear the specs?" -- this question will be answered during a panel workshop on Tuesday, May 23, 1:00 to 2:30pm. Panelists include Martin Schneider and Jürgen Breitlow, manager competence center acoustics, of Sennheiser/Neumann. On the evening of Sunday, May 21, 6:30 - 8:00pm, Dr. Jörg Sennheiser will hold the Richard C. Heyser memorial lecture on "A Historic Journey in Audio Reality: From Mono to AMBEO."
