Learn about Sennheiser and Neumann’s digital microphone technology through an interactive hands-on workshop. This workshop will show how these digital mics work, what makes them different and the various applications they can be used for. We’ll also listen and compare them with some of their analog counterparts to hear differences and similarities with live musicians in the studio.
