Audio-Technica Launches BP3600 Immersive Audio Microphone

A leading innovator in transducer technology, Audio-Technica has been the official microphone supplier for broadcasting coverage of the Olympic Games since 1996. From shotgun to stereo, a large number of Audio-Technica's microphones used in many sports were designed specifically for the Olympics. This time, following multiple seasons of extensive prototype testing of a 8.0 microphone concept for MotoGP motorcycle races, Audio-Technica is now launching the BP3600 Immersive Audio Microphone.

One of the most important highlights at CES 2017 was at the Fraunhofer IIS booth, showing final versions of several MPEG-H solutions, in preparation for the rollout of the first broadcast services adopting the standard next year. On display was an MPEG-H enabled LG UHD TV, scheduled to be available this year, and the final version of the MPEG-H enabled 3D Soundbar reference design. Fraunhofer IIS also developed a trademark program for products incorporating its MPEG-H TV Audio System.
