Sennheiser AMBEO Ambisonics Microphone

Sennheiser AMBEO VR Microphone

The Sennheiser AMBEO VR Microphone is purpose-built for capturing immersive, 360-degree audio for virtual reality and spatial media productions. Developed in collaboration with VR content creators, this microphone is engineered to accurately reproduce the full sound environment, making it ideal for cinematic VR, 3D audio recording, and advanced sound design.
