Spectera by Sennheiser

The Future of Wireless Pro Audio is Here: Spectera.

For more than a decade, Sennheiser envisioned a new kind of wireless system for audio professionals — one that allows for far more efficient and flexible use of spectrum than single-carrier systems, is fortified against dropouts from RF fading, and greatly reduces the complexity of frequency coordination; a new kind of wireless solution that streamlines the entire workflow and consolidates the entire system into as few components as possible. Now, that vision has become reality.

Innovation Sounds Like This
The future of wireless pro audio is here — and it's bidirectional. Featuring up to 64 channels (32 in/ 32 out) in a single unit, Spectera is the world's first wideband, bidirectional digital wireless ecosystem, providing audio professionals with unparalleled capability and flexibility. Spectera's 11 Audio Link modes give you unprecedented control of latency, audio quality and more for each link, while its bidirectional bodypacks manage both in-ear monitor and mic/line signals simultaneously.

Revolutionary Reliability
At the heart of Spectera is Sennheiser's remarkable wireless multichannel audio technology (WMAS) and its unique modulation and multiplexing capabilities, which make Spectera vastly more resistant to dropouts and RF fading than narrowband systems. Spectera also features built-in redundancy where it matters most: redundant power supplies, redundant Dante and optional redundant MADI audio I/O, and the ability to connect multiple antennas for redundancy, additional zone coverage, or additional spectrum capacity.

Spectera Features:

• Bidirectional wireless ecosystem; data and audio control in a single RF carrier for all components
• Bidirectional SEK bodypack manages both IEM and mic/line signals simultaneously
• Transceiving antennas manage IEM signals, mic/line signals, and data simultaneously Continuous bidirectional communication for full remote control and monitoring of SEK bodypack links, IEM volume, audio level and settings, RF health, battery status, and more
• 1 RU base station provides up to 64 channels (32 in / 32 out) and allows for up to two independent wideband RF carriers in UHF or 1G4 (6 or 8 MHz)
• Innovative Sennheiser WMAS technology accommodates an entire production in a single wideband RF carrier (6/8 MHz)
• Redundancy throughout, including power supply, Dante, MADI (optional), and up to four antennas
• Four antenna ports allow for redundancy, extended zone coverage and additional spectrum capacity
• 11 Audio Link modes allow for selectable control of audio quality, latency, channel count, and operating range
• Signature Sennheiser digital audio quality across the entire system— including IEMs — with latency down to 0.7 milliseconds
• Integrated RF components in DAD antenna eliminate the need for additional dedicated RF gear such as combiners, splitters, or boosters
• Vastly more resistant to dropouts from RF fading than traditional narrowband systems via innovative Sennheiser WMAS technology equal to 40x diversity (8 MHz) / 30x diversity (6 MHz)
• Sennheiser WMAS technology eliminates the hassle and time of frequency coordination
• Intuitive workflow via LinkDesk user interface: plan and preconfigure from anywhere with LinkDesk virtual setup for Windows and Mac
• Automated assistive behaviors make system management fast and intuitive
• Evolving hardware/software ecosystem; future releases will include SKM handheld mic, cascade port activation, plus a variety of innovative hardware and software updates
