WEDEMARK, Germany—Sennheiser Group will highlight seamless interoperability, future-ready audio workflows, and the combined strength of Sennheiser, Neumann and partner ecosystem solutions from SoundBase during IBC 2026, Sept. 11-14, at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Center.
In the wireless area of the Sennheiser stand, the company will highlight how its solutions enhance deployment, monitoring and management workflows for broadcast and production teams.Sennheiser will show its Spectera bidirectional wideband wireless ecosystem with the new Spectera SKM handheld wireless microphone, commercially available in mid-September. The Spectera SKM handheld offers premium performance, combining Sennheiser’s sound quality with the control options, flexibility and intelligence of the Spectera platform.With the addition of the SKM handheld, all core elements of Spectera are now available, bringing microphones, in-ear monitors, full remote control and monitoring together in one integrated ecosystem for live performance or broadcast application.
The Spectera Base Station ZMAN, which carries a Merging ZMAN audio network module for AES 67 ecosystems, will also be shown. It is expected to be available beginning in October. 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.
The company will also demonstrate Spectera Command functionality, which gives the artist or speaker direct control of 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 in October, 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.
Sennheiser will also show SoundBase’s 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’s Remote View tool, which allows broadcast productions to share live monitoring data with multiple team members without increasing network traffic.
Visitors will get an exclusive look at the latest additions to Neumann’s studio monitor portfolio. Designed to deliver accuracy, versatility and performance for demanding broadcast, production and immersive audio workflows, the new models further expand Neumann’s commitment to reference-quality monitoring.
Neumann will also unveil two new capsule heads, the KK 104 A (cardioid) and KK 105 A (supercardioid) for Sennheiser’s state-of-the-art wireless systems, including Spectera.
A third area of the booth will present a workflow-oriented Sennheiser Group showcase, illustrating how professional audio solutions support every stage of broadcast production. The demonstration will be built around end-to-end workflow optimization, showing how seamless integration between technologies drives greater efficiency and operational reliability, and how audio excellence is maintained across every stage of production. Underpinning it all is broadcast integration and connectivity across SMPTE ST 2110, Dante, NMOS and Lawo HOME.
