Sennheiser unveils Spectera wireless system at B&H event

Sennheiser has introduced the Spectera wireless system, a groundbreaking bidirectional digital wireless ecosystem, at a recent event hosted by B&H. This innovative system features fully bi-directional communication between the base station and hybrid mic/line transmitter/IEM receiver bodypacks, allowing users to set up a wireless mic system, a wireless IEM system, or both through a single rack-mounted device. The system is managed via LinkDesk software compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms. The Spectera Base Station is designed with extensive redundancy, making it suitable for mission-critical applications. It supports up to 64 channels and offers a wide tuning range, ensuring flexibility for various production needs. The system also boasts impressive audio specifications, supporting up to 24-bit / 96 kHz fully uncompressed audio, which is essential for high-quality sound in large events and productions. Sennheiser's new WMAS technology enables the system to accommodate entire productions on a single wideband RF carrier, simplifying setup and reducing the need for additional RF equipment. The DAD transceiver antennas, which support both UHF and 1G4 RF ranges, manage multiple signal types simultaneously, further streamlining the equipment required for events. While the initial launch focuses on SEK bodypack transceivers, Sennheiser plans to expand the system with handheld transmitter options in the future. This development positions Spectera as a versatile solution for touring bands, rental houses, and large-scale installations, enhancing the overall production experience.
