Aaton-Digital Unveils Sennheiser Partnership

Aaton Digital has announced a new partnership with Sennheiser, which will see AMBEO technology interface for virtual reality and augmented reality included in CantarMini and CantarX3 sound recorders.

The collaboration was announced at IBC 2017 when Sennheiser revealed its AMBEO for VR Partnership Program. This has been created to ensure seamless production workflows for VR and AR productions. The program encompasses collaborations with manufacturers of field recorders, VR live cameras and live streaming software, mixing plug-ins and VR platforms.

Jacques Delacoux, CEO, Aaton Digital, said: "VR is an exciting development with enormous potential and we are delighted to collaborate with Sennheiser to add this VR enabling interface to our latest Aaton Digital location sound recorders CantarX3 and CantarMini."

"The future of audio is in immersive sound experience, and perhaps this is nowhere more apparent than in the field of VR," added Véronique Larcher, Co-Director AMBEO at Sennheiser. "With the launch of the AMBEO VR Mic last year we have provided an easy-to-use tool for 3D audio productions, while our AMBEO Blueprints website provides ample information on recording and mixing 3D audio. Now our new partnership program helps content creators to design the full VR experience with ease."
