“If you want to create a fantastic audio experience, you need to start with the best sound feeding through the audio chain – and that takes a great microphone. It doesn’t matter if you are in a theatre or in the recording studio, if the sound you capture is poor, you can’t save it. The entire pro-audio sound chain has improved in recent years, from the microphones to the loudspeakers, increased digitalisation and better wireless transmitters can now expose the quality of some microphones. DPA Microphones has advanced its technology, so that its microphones match recent years’ expectations of audio.”

“The use of ambisonics and 3D audio in microphone technology has been underrated, this is, until, recently. This spatial audio technique that captures surround sounds from a single point in space is used in many VR applications today: cinematic and interactive content, livestreaming and more. A good microphone should bring image and sound together in the right way to elevate a user’s visual experience. Sennheiser’s AMBEO programme for 3D audio is designed to do just that.”

“ N e x t y e a r , E l e c t r o -Vo i c e i s celebrating its 50th anniversary of one of its most renowned and recognisable products, the RE20 dynamic microphone. After being introduced, its popularity soon extended beyond broadcast and into music production, as an instrument and vocal microphone. As heard on countless classic and current recordings, from Paul McCartney to Stevie Wonder to Bob Dylan to Radiohead. It was a real game-changer when it was released all those decades ago, and it’s still going strong today for a reason – it works.”
