Recording the 2017 Chelsea Music Festival in AMBEO 3D audio was an exciting opportunity for us to try out Sennheiser’s latest immersive audio technology. We had attended past iterations of the festival, so we knew to expect world-class performances throughout. The main venue for these performances was the cathedral-like interior at St. Paul’s German Lutheran Church, a noted venue for audiophile classical and jazz recordings in the 80s and 90s that is both acoustically pleasing and wonderfully intimate. My husband and colleague Jim Anderson and I had learned about the AMBEO format at the Sennheiser pop-up store in SoHo and knew immediately that it would be
„perfect for capturing this special event in a way that included not simply the notes that were played but the energy and experience of being in the space during the performance.“
Our setup for the event included the eight microphones suspended above the audience required to generate the AMBEO cube, plus an additional front-facing stereo A/B pair pointed toward the stage—all Sennheiser microphones and many of the same selections we’ve trusted for numerous recordings in all formats. This setup gives us both the perspective of the audience being there live in the room, but also an optimized recording due to the closer microphones, ensuring we have plenty of options to bring out the best experience during the mix.
The setup is sure to render remarkable fidelity. Bass-heavy instruments in particular sound markedly better when you bring them into 3D, so I expect both the performances and recording clarity to be spectacular. Jim and I both have extensive experience working in 5.1 surround, and I have even trained on 22.2 systems in Japan as far back as 2006. We feel that AMBEO represents an exciting leap forward for three-dimensional audio. It’s great to take things into the next dimension with Sennheiser, and we are eager to dig into these mixes and bring out the magic of the Chelsea Music Festival.
