Sennheiser AMBEO VR Virtual Reality Microphone

The elegantly designed AMBEO® VR Mic has been developed in cooperation with VR content producers and fine-tuned through an extensive creators’ program with participants from across the audio and VR communities. The mic caters exactly to the needs of VR content creators, letting you capture the experience and spirit of any location enabling the listener to be immersed as if they were there.

The AMBEO VR outputs with a female 12 Pin DIN12M to 4 x 3Pin Male XLR's cable.

Capture The World In A New Spatial Way

The easy-to-use AMBEO® VR Mic is an ambisonic microphone fitted with four matched KE 14 capsules in a tetrahedral arrangement. This special design allows you to capture the sound that surrounds you from a single point. As a result you get fully spherical ambisonics sound to match your VR video/spherical 360 content.

AMBEO A-B Format Converter Plugin

The capsules of the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic deliver A-format, a raw 4-channel output that has to be converted into a new set of 4 channels, the Ambisonics B-format. This is done by the specifically designed Sennheiser AMBEO A-B format converter plugin, which is available as free download for VST, AU and AAX format for your preferred Digital Audio Workstation for both PC and Mac. B-format is a W, X, Y, Z representation of the sound field around the microphone. W being the sum of all 4 capsules, whereas X, Y and Z are three virtual bi-directional microphone patterns representing front/back, left/right and up/down. Thus, any direction from the microphone can be auditioned by the listener during playback of Ambisonics B.

Benefit From A Design Developed With You In Mind

By means of the VR Creators Program Sennheiser made sure to involve the professionals of the industry in the realization of the AMBEO® VR Mic right from the beginning. Thus, we developed a comprehensive product package including many well-conceived accessories that allow for a smooth workflow ¬– not least the A-B encoder software that works as a plugin, which can be seamless embedded in your post-production process.

Enjoy Peace Of Mind With Sennheiser Quality

With its history of 70 years as a trusted and innovative company, developing top-notch professional microphones with high-quality capsules, you are entitled to expect a lot from the Sennheiser brand: reliable, robust German-engineered products. Rest assured: We deliver – and also provide excellent customer support as well as a 2-years warranty with every product.

Ambisonics – Technology For You To Shape The Future Of Audio

The AMBEO® VR Mic works with ambisonics, a multi- channel technique that lets you spherically capture the sound arriving from all directions, at a single point in space. For playback this representation is rendered binaurally, allowing you to virtually rotate the orientation of the perspective in all directions, horizontally and vertically. Ambisonics is also supported by all of the major post-production and playback tools on the market today. This makes ambisonics the appropriate tool for Virtual Reality and all other applications involving 3D sound and interactively controlled audio. A tool to create new worlds of sound with.

We Recommend

We recommend using the AMBEO microphone with the Rycote BBG 25mm. It fits perfectly and will offer up to 35dB wind noise attenuation. For very windy situations you can fit the whole AMBEO Mic into to a Rycote Windshield Kit 295. You will need to use the Duo Lyre system to hold the 25mm diameter.

Rycote Baby Ball Gag Windshield

This product is available in sizes 20mm, 21mm, 22mm and 25mm.

Made to offer the wind attenuation properties of a full sized windshield in a much smaller package, Baby Ball Gags are designed to slip onto the body of the microphone. This a

Allows the microphone to be hand-held or shock-mounted with a Lyre suspension.

Perfect for short microphones, Baby Ball Gags are suitable for low-profile boom applications as well as for use in hand-held operations and interviews. They are widely used for microphones with bulbous ends and ORTF microphone pairs, where the maximum head diameter is 80 mm.

The windshield is constructed of the same material as the full size modular windshields, but rather than clipping to a microphone suspension, the Ball Gag is mounted directly on the microphone, by a grommet gripping the microphone body. The microphone is pushed through the grommet, to completely enclose the microphone capsule.

The ball gag consists of two halves, which can be separated, to fit microphones with a ball-head or tapered body from inside the windshield. For additional wind protection a furry Windjammer cover is available.

Product Variations

20 mm Baby Ball Gag Windshield - Suitable for microphones with a 19 to 20mm shank diameter
21 mm Baby Ball Gag Windshield - Suitable for microphones with 21 shank diameter
22 mm Baby Ball Gag Windshield - Suitable for microphones with 22 shank diameter
25 mm Baby Ball Gag Windshield - Suitable for microphones with 25mm shank diameter
Baby Ball Gag Windjammer™ - Suitable for all sizes of Baby Ball Gag

What size do I need?

Finding the correct Baby Ball Gag will depend mainly on the diameter of the microphone shank.

The size of the Baby Ball Gag relates to the diameter of the microphone body, i.e. a 20 mm Baby Ball Gag will fit a microphone with a 20 mm diameter shank.

The microphone is fitted through a neoprene grommet into the Ball Gag, and must be central for the best wind protection. Please note the maximum diameter of the head is 80 mm.
