Sennheiser Spectera wireless ecosystem adds ST 2110-30 audio integration at IBC2026
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.
Key Takeaways
- Spectera Base Station ZMAN adds native ST 2110-30 and AES67 support via Merging Technologies hardware
- New Neumann KK 104 A and KK 105 A capsule heads improve handling noise suppression for wireless systems
- Spectera Command functionality enables performers to manage audio routing and talkback directly from bodypacks
- SoundBase RF planning software now integrates full support for Spectera and Remote View monitoring
Why It Matters
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.
