Tascam is the latest brand to join the Sennheiser Ambeo program following on from Zoom, Aaton, Orah And Sphericam.

The TEAC Corporation and its TASCAM brand of professional video and broadcast equipment is joining the “AMBEO for VR” partnership program which was created to improve production workflows and interoperability for VR, AR and other 3D content creators including collaborations with manufacturers of field recorders, VR live cameras, live streaming software, mixing plug-ins and VR platforms. Véronique Larcher, co-director AMBEO at Sennheiser told us...

The future of audio is in immersive sound experience, and perhaps this is nowhere more apparent than in the field of VR. With the launch of the AMBEO VR Mic 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. Our partnership program helps content creators to design the full VR experience with ease.

We are proud to have their TASCAM DR-701D audio system on board, as it is a product held in high esteem by content creators across the globe. Thanks to the new firmware, the TASCAM recorder now fully supports the AMBEO VR Mic for recordings in A or B format Ambisonics.

TEAC has released new firmware for its TASCAM DR-701D six-track audio recorder. Version 2.0 of the firmware now includes the Sennheiser A-to-B converter for recording the A or B format from the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic. Yuji Hanabusa, President and CEO of TEAC CORPORATION told us...

For years, TASCAM has supported audio professionals in the areas of video production and broadcast, and we are proud to partner with Sennheiser AMBEO to support the rapidly growing world of VR. The addition of Ambisonics support to our industry-leading DR-701D will enable yet another dimension of creativity for DR-701D owners and will help to shape the future of digital entertainment, education and information sharing.
