Sennheiser Products Are Recognized During 2014 NAMM Show as Best in Class in Wireless Technology and Amplification Hardware/Studio & Sound Reinforcement Categories
ANAHEIM, Calif. – January
27, 2014 – Audio specialist Sennheiser announced that its Digital
9000 wireless system and HDVD 800 amplifier were both recognized with Outstanding Technical Achievement awards by
the TEC (Technical Excellence & Creativity) Foundation. Sennheiser USA president Greg Beebe was on hand to accept
the awards during a reception held at the 2014 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA on
Friday evening.
Sennheiser's Digital 9000 Wireless System, which took over a decade to
develop, is the most advanced professional wireless system in the world and
supports professionals across broadcast studios, theaters, and live performances.
The HDVD 800 Headphone Amp/DAC meanwhile allows for optimal performance when
paired with any Sennheiser audiophile headphones.
"On
behalf of the entire Sennheiser team, I want to express my gratitude to the TEC
Foundation for recognizing the Digital 9000 and the HDVD 800 with Outstanding
Achievement awards," said Greg Beebe. "At Sennheiser, we are
committed to the Pursuit of Perfect Sound — and this commitment is
reflected in products that dramatically improve our customers' abilities to
deliver audio quality that is second to none. The Digital 9000 and HDVD are two
such products."
Since
the TEC Foundation was established in 1990, Sennheiser and Neumann have been
presented with a cumulative total of 20 Oustanding Technical Achievement awards
as well as having five products represented in the TECnology Hall of Fame,
including the venerable MD 421 microphone.
The Sennheiser Digital 9000 Wireless System
The
Digital 9000 Wireless System offers completely uncompressed and artifact free
digital audio, combining sonic purity and outstanding dynamics. It’s the first
digital wireless system that works without compression, allowing for full HD
audio transmission. The system uses extremely steep filters to allow a very
narrow set-up of the respective radio frequencies within the available frequency
range. Through this, the risk of intermodulation is eliminated, allowing for
the most reliable wireless operation.
Sennheiser HDVD 800 Headphone
Amp/DAC
The HDVD 800 Headphone Amp/DAC is
a solid-state amplifier that generates the ultimate acoustic performance when
paired with any of Sennheiser’s audiophile headphones. It highlights crisp,
balanced and distortion-free sound through a high-quality Burr-Brown
digital/analog converter (DAC). The amplifier is outfitted with an symmetrical
input socket, which allows for incoming signals to be symmetrized before
processing takes place. The HDVD 800 also offers an extra USB input, allowing
for 24-bit data transmission at 192 kHz.
