Sennheiser Group will showcase its Spectera wireless ecosystem and new ST 2110-30 audio integration at IBC2026. The demonstration highlights end-to-end broadcast workflows, including new Neumann capsule heads and integration with third-party standards like Dante and NMOS.
The integration of ST 2110-30 into the Spectera ecosystem marks a significant step toward unified IP-based broadcast environments, reducing the need for external conversion hardware. By embedding Merging Technologies' ZMAN modules, Sennheiser is addressing the industry's shift toward SMPTE standards for low-latency audio transport. This move strengthens the competitive position of the Sennheiser Group against other high-end wireless providers by offering a more cohesive signal chain from capture to playout. As live events like the Eurovision Song Contest scale in complexity, the market will likely prioritize hardware that natively supports NMOS and Dante management. Watch for the October 2026 release of the Command Ring to see if performer-led routing becomes a standard requirement for live broadcast handhelds.
The industry continues to push for cloud-native ST 2110 workflows to simplify complex live production setups. For those managing large-scale audio environments, Calrec Type RT console and Apex M6 also represent recent advancements in expanding IP audio workflows. Meanwhile, other manufacturers are also prioritizing cinematic live production workflows through similar SMPTE-2110 updates, a trend further highlighted by universal IP-based production transition developments, while IPMX standardizes AV-over-IP systems to further bridge ProAV and IT infrastructure. Recent ST 2110 facility deployments further underscore this transition, alongside IP-based production transition efforts. New SMPTE 2110 and immersive audio tools are also emerging to support these complex environments.
Sennheiser is expanding its Spectera wireless ecosystem with native ST 2110-30 audio integration and the new SKM handheld transmitter. By incorporating Merging Technologies' ZMAN modules, the system streamlines IP-based broadcast workflows. These updates, shipping between September and October 2026, aim to reduce the need for external conversion hardware in live productions.
The Spectera Base Station ZMAN is adding native ST 2110-30 and AES67 support through the integration of Merging Technologies hardware.
The new updates and the SKM handheld transmitter are scheduled to ship between September and October 2026.
The new Neumann KK 104 A and KK 105 A capsule heads are designed to improve handling noise suppression for wireless systems.
