Guido reveals the future of 3D Audio.

- Shawn Chung

​On the sidelines of the 2017 iFA GPC, NXT magazine had an exclusive interview with Sennheiser’s Senior Vice President of the Retail Channel, Guido Karbautzki, who spoke to us about Sennheiser’s first 3D Audio product for Consumers – the AMbEO Smart Headset – as well as their future plans for the platform.

NXT: THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING TO US. WHY DID SENNHEISER COME UP WITH THE AMBEO SMART HEADSET AS THE SECOND PRODUCT IN THE NEW AMBEO ECOSYSTEM, AFTER THE AMBEO VR MICROPHONE?

GUIDO KARBAUTZKI: because we see a huge potential in this new 3D immersive audio field. If you just look at the number of videos; self-made youtube videos out there and if you see the high image quality of these videos, there’s always one thing missing, one thing not there yet, and it’s the 3D sound related to the video. And this is what we realised – once you’ve experienced that kind of immersive sound, well, you don’t want to miss it anymore! In other words, we think that there will be a huge demand from people who are capturing their own videos to get the corresponding immersive sound for those videos.
