Designed for kicks: The e 602-II bass drum microphone
With the e 602-II, Sennheiser’s Mic of the Month for December (happyevolution.com), drummers simply get more out of their kick drum: bass sounds with more punch, more precise attack and more transparent high frequencies. “There was this trend to ask for a more ‘modern’ sound from the kick drum; that is to say more resolution, greater openness and a fuller range of sound,” remembers Sebastian Schmitz, Sennheiser portfolio manager.

Authentic and direct – the Sennheiser e 906 guitar amp microphone
Just a quick glance at online discussions and user ratings for the e 906 mic reveals a certain level of devotion. But just what makes this guitar microphone so popular? Sennheiser portfolio manager Sebastian Schmitz explained: “The e 906 incorporates decades of experience with guitar microphones. And we’ve developed quite a few decent models throughout our company history!” One of these “decent” guitar microphones is the MD 409: Often referred to as ‘the best guitar microphone that there is’, the MD 409 still enjoys legendary status among sound engineers and was the inspiration for the development of the e 906. Sennheiser looked to this classic mic’s ability to capture warm, dreamy guitars and pithy metal riffs equally well as the starting point for creating the newer model. Similarly the e 906 sought to offer ease of handling that matched the MD 409, which was nicknamed the “guitar briquette”, and could be simply hung on its cable in front of the amp – a blessing for quick set-ups and use on small stages.

At IBC 2018, Sennheiser will show the wireless Memory Mic for smartphones – an absolute must-have for mobile journalists. The size and quantity of equipment that journalists and reporters require to create professional quality content has decreased considerably within just a few years.

Enter the innovative Memory Mic: The small, lightweight wireless microphone not only offers excellent, broadcast-quality sound but also works at any distance from the smartphone. The mic and the accompanying app for Android and Apple are available now.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016: SENNHEISER SEES REDUCED TURNOVER BUT INCREASED PROFITABILITY
In the fiscal year 2016, the Sennheiser Group generated a turnover of €658.4 million. This corresponds to a decline of 3.8 percent, primarily due to placing greater focus on the core business. During the reporting year, the audio specialist exited the aviation segment and also ended relationships with third-party brands in the Professional Systems Division. In addition, the termination of governmental subsidies in Japan affected the turnover. The Group's profit before taxes rose by 15.2 percent to €34.9 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Research and development were further strengthened: Sennheiser invested €54.5 million, which is a total of 16 percent more than in 2015.

The air is alive with sound and the rich parchment smell arising from what you see are tiny machines that propel countless paper bags in a bizarrely organic dance. This is the new sound sculpture by Swiss artist Zimoun, and the debut work created for Sennheiser’s Future Audio Artist Program.

Miley Cyrus with Sennheiser Digital 9000 on Bangerz tour
Miley Cyrus is currently on tour with her fourth and definitely most controversial album to date, Bangerz. Having comprehensively ditched the Disney image of her teenage years – although not the purity of her voice which is dominant all the way through the album – Bangerz exhibits influences that shift dramatically between pop, hip-hop, funk, country, R&B and dance. The tour is equally eclectic and outrageous, featuring a giant hot dog, a troupe of dancing furry animals and cartoon characters, foam fingers and some very skimpy costumes amongst other things. High-energy and steeped in self-mockery, there is never a dull moment. Critics have been largely very positive, appreciating her vocal performance, audacity and charisma, with one critic from Time magazine calling her one of the “most dynamic performers of her generation”. On this tour, and for the first time, Cyrus is performing with the new Digital 9000 microphone system from Sennheiser.

Peyroux journeys through The Blue Room with Sennheiser
American jazz singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux is currently on tour throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Far East and the USA to promote her sixth and latest album, The Blue Room. Noted for her trademark smoky vocals and understated image, Peyroux is a genre-blending singer who fuses jazz, blues, country and pop into a style that is undeniably her own, enabling her to revisit and reinvent some of the greatest classics of our time from the likes of Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen and The Beatles. The Blue Room is Peyroux’s fourth collaboration with distinguished producer and jazz musician Larry Klein (who has also produced Joni Mitchell, Walter Becker, Tracy Chapman and Herbie Hancock amongst others). What started out as a homage to Ray Charles has turned out to be a glorious fusion that also draws in classics from other artists and has become Peyroux’s musical narrative through time and genre, all with her own unique interpretation. Peyroux and the entire band have selected a combination of Sennheiser and Neumann microphones as their systems of choice for this tour, with Peyroux opting for a Neumann KMS 104.

Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Minnesota Public Radio Enhance Workflow with Neumann Digital Microphone Technology
Recording a large orchestral performance can involve extreme dynamic level changes, highly reverberant environments and dozens of channels of microphones, cables and associated electronic circuitry. Using traditional analog equip¬ment, controlling these factors can be cumbersome, and maintaining a simple, agile workflow is often difficult. Using several dozen analog microphones onstage significantly raises the noise floor, and may introduce distortion during loud passages. Now, with Neumann’s pioneering range of digital microphones, users can experience an all-digital workflow — dramatically increasing signal integrity and user controllability.

Both microphones can be used in analogue set-ups or – in combination with the MZD 8000 digital module – as digital AES42 microphones.

Both models feature a natural and very lifelike sound, as off-axis sound is attenuated without colouration. Their radio-frequency condenser principle also makes both microphones extremely weather-resistant, ensuring that they can cope even with climatically difficult conditions, such as extreme cold and moisture.

Sade Travel the Globe with Sennheiser
It has been over a decade since Sade took their infectious R&B on tour. But because the band has earned a loyal multinational following with hits spanning twenty-six years, Sade is among the rare acts that could still pack an arena based solely on its laurels. But Sade has not rested. The band’s recently released Soldier of Love debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and has since gone on to earn two Grammy nominations and multi-platinum status around the world. The forthcoming world tour promises to be spectacular, and monitor engineer Horst Hartmann and FOH engineer Chris Madden have gone the extra mile to ensure it. Many of their efforts have directly involved Sennheiser’s Global Relations team, who are supporting the tour and have recommended a Sennheiser SKM 5200-II microphone with cardioid dynamic capsule combined with the EM 3732-II receiver to beautifully capture lead singer Sade Adu’s unmistakable voice. To comply with the tour’s utterly clean visual aesthetic, the engineers have decided to eliminate as many microphone stands from the stage as possible, relying heavily on tiny Sennheiser e 908 gooseneck microphones and unconventional amp placement. Sennheiser’s top-of-the-line wireless microphone and personal monitoring equipment will ensure reliable performances in every corner of the globe.

New gun microphones from Sennheiser
At the NAB Show in Las Vegas, audio specialist Sennheiser is presenting two new MKH series shotgun microphones that can be used either as analogue or digital microphones. The compact MKH 8060 is a versatile short-gun microphone, equally at home on or off camera, while the long MKH 8070 rifle microphone is a specialist for more distant sound sources and is the perfect choice for sports reporting and nature recordings. Both models feature a natural and very lifelike sound, as off-axis sound is attenuated without colouration. Their radio-frequency condenser principle also makes both microphones extremely weather-resistant, ensuring that they can cope even with climatically difficult conditions, such as extreme cold and moisture.
