Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Overview

The white and gray Sennheiser AMBEO SMART HEADSET is a pair of in-ear headphones designed to provide realistic, high-quality, three-dimensional binaural audio reproduction and iOS integration for videographers, content producers, and listeners in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments. The headset features 15 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response for the headphones, three built-in microphones, inline remote controls, noise cancellation, and a Lightning connector.

By utilizing an omnidirectional microphone in each earpiece, the AMBEO SMART HEADSET can deliver recorded audio true to how your ears pick up sound with immersive 3D audio recording. For convenient communication in calls and chats, there is an additional mic in the inline remote. Use the Smart Slider to adjust the microphone sensitivity or program it for other functions via a dedicated app. Apogee’s Soft Limit and mic preamp yield vocal clarity with minimized distortion. The active noise cancellation can be disabled when you need to hear activity in your surrounding environment.

The AMBEO SMART HEADSET ships with an ear adapter set and carry case.

Is there a solution to reduce the wind effect on the recording? Anyone ever created a DIY windscreen?
Asked by: Fidel
Yes, there is a solution. You can place a piece of flexible, open-celled foam, about 1/4 inch thick over the microphone openings on the Ambeo headset, carefully taping it on along the sides of the earpiece. It will help in reducing wind noise in light to moderate breeze.

Is there a way to export multi track audio files? Is there any solution to convert the data to Dolby Atmos?
Asked by: Philipp
To the best of my knowledge you can't. This will only record to your iOS device and only through the Sennheiser recording app. If you need to be able to do so, I would recommend to look into the Zoom H3-VR which is a VR, Ambisonics, Binaural recorder which offers a host of features and on board Ambisonics processing.

question

Can you initiate a recording directly from the remote?
Asked by: Anonymous
According to Sennheiser, you can use the remote to launch the app. However, to enable record mode, you have to use the app for that. The remote is used for adjusting levels.
