Sennheiser is introducing the Spectera Base Station Wireless Transmitter/Receiver. A 32-in/32-out bidirectional wireless transceiver with two wideband RF carriers, redundant Dante connections, and redundant power supplies.
“Spectera is the world’s first bidirectional wideband wireless solution, and represents a significant leap in wireless audio transmission,” according to the announcement.” “Utilising true WMAS technology, it massively simplifies live audio productions. By putting the power of a multichannel system (up to 32 audio inputs and 32 audio outputs) into a single 1U rack unit, and accommodating wireless mics, IEMs, and control data on the very same RF carrier and a single bodypack, the bidirectional solution offers unprecedented ease of use for RF managers and audio teams.”
The ecosystem is designed to have a small footprint on location and in transit and automatic coordination of all mobile devices in the 6MHz wide RF carrier assigned to it. Spectera is made to solve many of the issues that owners and operators of standard narrowband systems face. Spectera can reduce setup time, because frequency management is minimal, and RF cabling is not required, neither are boosters, splitters or combiners.
“Thanks to Spectera’s permanent two-way communication, operators have full remote control and total flexibility in choosing the ideal combination of audio quality, latency, and operating range for each and every audio link,” the announcement concludes. “Spectera is a growing, flexible ecosystem that will continue to be expanded and modelled on customer and user benefits.”
