"3D Audio is the new standard for audio excellence and will completely revolutionize the listener's experience," says Dr. Andreas Sennheiser, who heads the company with his brother Daniel Sennheiser. "We are extremely excited to make this extraordinary experience possible for visitors to the Pink Floyd exhibition." For Daniel Sennheiser, the next challenge is already clear: "The next step will be to visually support this excellent audio quality."

Pink Floyd always broke ground with their use of surround sound in their live shows. Now, thanks to Sennheiser, they are taking the next step -with "immersive audio." The group's drummer, Nick Mason, came to Abbey Roads Studio personally to see it happen. "From our very beginnings as a live band, we used Sennheiser equipment, back when we took the stage with MD 409 microphones, and we are excited that Sennheiser is now designing the audio experience for our exhibition," Mason says. He is excited about the possibilities presented by the new AMBEO 3D Audio Technology. "Sennheiser has shaped audio technology for decades. The company will doubtlessly turn 'Their Mortal Remains' into something extremely special."

Sennheiser technology will help breathe new life into the last joint appearance of David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and former band member Roger Waters, at the 2005 "Live 8" concert in Hyde Park. To meet that challenge, Sennheiser joined forces with some of the best sound engineers and producers in the world. Andy Jackson had worked on several Pink Floyd albums, including "The Division Bell." As a long-serving sound engineer at Abbey Roads Studios, Simon Rhodes knows the space like the back of his hand. He has been producing music for over 18 years, including for the films "Avatar" and "Spectre." The composer and producer Simon Frangeln has also worked on some of the biggest films in history, including "Titanic" and "Avatar." He has even received a Grammy Award and been nominated for a Golden Globe.

Sound engineer Simon Rhodes believes that live music is particularly well suited for AMBEO 3D Audio Technology. "This new technology makes possible the unbelievable feeling that you are there." He himself has worked for many years with stereo and 5.1 technology, but he has never heard anything like AMBEO 3D Audio Technology. "Once you take the step to full immersion, coming back is impossible," he says. His colleague, producer Simon Frangeln, is particularly excited about the freedom granted by AMBEO 3D Audio Technology, especially when it comes to percussion. "Suddenly you have the ability to take the cymbals much higher than the actual drum kit," he says. "That allows the instrument to breathe."

This breadth is made possible by 25 speakers from Sennheiser and Neumann, distributed at different heights throughout the studio. Subwoofers hang from a rack and some speakers are mounted on their cases. There are also speakers mounted six meters (20 feet) off the floor, known as "the voice of God." This distribution creates the feeling that you're completely surrounded by the music.

With Sennheiser having already remade the music of other artists and their songs with AMBEO 3D Audio Technology, it is now the turn of the British rockers from Pink Floyd. Simon Frangeln believes it is an excellent choice. "No other band is a better match for AMBEO 3D Audio Technology from Sennheiser than Pink Floyd," he says. "AMBEO 3D Audio Technology enables visitors to hear every last detail in the music. I am very excited to hear what Pink Floyd fans think of the 3D version in the exhibition."
