Sennheiser Spectera Base Station SPRF

The future of professional wireless is here — and it’s bidirectional. 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. 

The Base Station is a 1RU hardware device that provides up to 64 channels (32 in / 32 out) and utilizes up to two wideband RF carriers to accommodate all wireless transmission of the system. It features redundant Dante and optional redundant MADI, assuring seamless integration into your audio network. Additional antennas can be added for redundancy, extended zone coverage, or additional spectrum capacity. The Spectera Base Station supports sample rates of 48 kHz and 96 kHz and features individual sample rate converters for all audio interfaces and wordclock I/O. Base Station must be activated with a License per region.

Key Features About Spectera 

• 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
