Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic — Ambisonic 3D Audio Microphone
AMBEO VR Mic Overview
The Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic is a purpose-built first-order Ambisonic microphone engineered for professional 3D and virtual reality audio production. At its core are four matched KE 14 cardioid capsules arranged in a tetrahedral configuration, enabling full-sphere spatial audio capture in a single recording pass. The matched capsule set ensures consistent polar response and sensitivity across all four channels, which is critical for accurate Ambisonic decoding and post-production processing. This microphone is suited for VR content creators, location sound recordists, broadcast engineers, and immersive audio producers working in A-Format capture workflows.
The AMBEO VR Mic integrates into standard production rigs via a single connector, streamlining field recording and studio sessions where full 360-degree soundfield capture is required.
Key Features
- Four Matched KE 14 Capsules — Tetrahedral array of matched cardioid capsules delivers consistent sensitivity and polar response across all channels for accurate spatial imaging
- First-Order Ambisonics (A-Format Output) — Captures a complete 360-degree soundfield in a single microphone, simplifying immersive audio workflows for VR, AR, and spatial audio production
- Matched Capsule Set — Factory-matched capsules minimize channel-to-channel variance, reducing post-production correction and improving Ambisonic decode accuracy
- Tetrahedral Capsule Arrangement — Precise geometric placement of capsules enables reliable conversion from A-Format to B-Format using standard Ambisonic processing software
- Single-Point Stereo and Surround Recording — Full soundfield captured from one physical position, eliminating inter-capsule distance artifacts common in multi-microphone spatial rigs
- Professional Build Quality — Designed for demanding location and studio use by Sennheiser’s professional microphone division
