Spatial audio formats are an increasingly integral component of the broadcast and content creation industries, and microphone manufacturer Schoeps is highlighting its immersive expertise with its full range of Colette Series and CMIT Series microphones at IBC.
Schoeps recently got involved in this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup to develop immersive microphone placements that work better in US stadium environments, and demonstrations on its IBC stand focus on a variety of advanced immersive recording techniques, live and studio broadcast application use, and best practices for fixed installations. Offering a wide range of tailor-made systems, the company says it is eager to share its knowledge of the science as well as real-world techniques required to get the most out of immersive recording.
Florian Gundert, Marketing Manager, Schoeps, said: “We get involved in a lot of immersive applications in live broadcast events like international soccer tournaments, but we are also seeing increasing demand for immersive recording in music; not just in classical, but also with pop and rock applications.”
