<\/a><\/p>\nWedemark, Germany (August 21, 2026)\u2014At IBC 2026<\/a>, the Sennheiser Group<\/a> will demonstrate a slew of products, including from Sennheiser and Neumann<\/a> and partner ecosystem solutions from SoundBase<\/a>, appropriate to every stage of the broadcast signal chain.<\/p>\n \u200bFront and center at the show will be Spectera, Sennheiser\u2019s bidirectional wideband wireless ecosystem, which will be shown together with the new Spectera SKM handheld microphone that will become available commercially mid-September, bringing microphones, in-ear monitors, full remote control and monitoring together in one integrated ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Spectera SKM handheld offers premium wireless handheld microphone performance, combining Sennheiser\u2019s sound quality with the control options, flexibility and intelligence of the Spectera platform.<\/p>\n The Spectera Base Station ZMAN, which carries a Merging ZMAN audio network module for AES 67 ecosystems, will also be on show, and is expected to be available from October 2026. With native ST 2110-30 audio integration via the Merging ZMAN module, the Base Station brings the benefits of the Spectera ecosystem directly into professional broadcast workflows, with the flexibility, interoperability and control broadcast engineers require.<\/p>\n Also being demonstrated is the Spectera Command functionality, which gives the artist or speaker direct control of the audio routing pre-configured in the wireless system. Available as a Command Button for connection between the SEK bodypack and the microphone, and as a Command Ring for the SKM handheld from October 2026 on, it enables end users to mute their audio or open a talkback channel. The Spectera system allows the button to be configured as a latched or a momentary switch to accommodate different workflows and preferences.<\/p>\n Also on show is SoundBase\u2019s brand-neutral RF planning and management application. Developed and operated by the Sennheiser partner, the software has recently added full support for Spectera and the Command functionality. A highlight is SoundBase\u2019s Remote View tool, which allows broadcast productions to share live monitoring data with multiple team members without increasing network traffic, ensuring that a control network stays efficient and the gear responsive.<\/p>\n Neumann will unveil two new capsule heads, the KK 104 A (cardioid) and KK 105 A (supercardioid) for Sennheiser\u2019s state-of-the-art wireless systems, including Spectera. As successors to Neumann\u2019s KK 204 and KK 205 condenser capsule heads, they will continue to bring studio sound quality to the stage while featuring a more elegant form factor, as well as vastly improved suppression of handling noise.<\/p>\n
