Perfect Sound, Perfect Picture: New Installed Sound Microphones from Audio Specialist Sennheiser
Even under the glare of the spotlights, these microphones stay discreetly in the background: the new Installed Sound microphones from Sennheiser are coated with gray Nextel®, making them totally non-reflective even in the brightest of lights. There are no flashes of light to disturb the TV cameras and no irritating reflections to dazzle the audience. This means that the successful series of microphones with the
ME 34 (cardioid pick-up pattern) and ME 35 (super-cardioid) microphone capsules and the ME 36 mini shotgun microphone are now also the optimum choice for TV productions with strong lighting.
“Whether they are used at a star-studded TV gala or a formal conference center — these microphones are the true favorites of both sound engineers and users alike,” says Wilfried Wittke, Senior Product Manager at Sennheiser. “The ME 36 mini shotgun microphone in combination with a short gooseneck is especially popular. The microphone has excellent feedback rejection, with talking distances of between 30 and 120 cm.” The microphone heads can be combined with various gooseneck lengths, and accessories are available to suit every installation. Table installation sockets, table stands, ceiling mounts and boundary microphone adapters ensure that every TV studio, event center and conference room can benefit from the excellent sound of the ME microphone series. And if wireless transmission is required, that’s no problem either. Plug-on transmitters enable a table microphone or even an entire microphone stand to be instantly converted into a wireless system. Transmitters are available for both evolution wireless systems and for 3000 and 5000 series microphones.
Nextel was originally developed for use on the interior surfaces of the Space Shuttle. For that reason, Nextel has excellent anti-static properties, is scratch-resistant and extremely hard-wearing, feels warm to the touch and is totally non-reflective — properties that can now be admired in the Installed Sound series.
The new Installed Sound microphones will be on show from January 30, 2006 to February 1, 2007 at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam, Hall 3, Stand A 40.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of microphones, headphones and wireless transmission systems, the Sennheiser Group with its headquarters in Wedemark near Hanover, Germany, had total sales of about €300 million in 2005. The export share is 82.5%. Sennheiser has a total workforce of more than 1,650 employees, of whom about 60% are employed in Germany. Sennheiser is active worldwide and, in addition to other partnerships, has its own sales subsidiaries in France, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, China, Singapore, Canada, Mexico and the USA.
