A feature-packed directional antenna

Sennheiser Spectera is the world's first bidirectional wideband solution for digital broadcasting, enabling the simultaneous wireless transmission of musicians' microphone and in-ear signals. First presented at the IBC in 2024, this innovative wireless system's revolutionary WMAS technology significantly reduces the overall complexity of the unit. It's also remarkably resistant to RF fading, allowing the wideband HF channel to be used with a great degree of flexibility. Musicians will also love the fact that Spectera devices can achieve a latency of only 0.7ms when transmitting in-ear signals; furthermore, reliable handling is guaranteed thanks to its time-saving workflows, frequency spectrum monitoring, and full remote control. This extraordinary range of features makes Sennheiser Spectera a great choice for any number of professional applications.

Transmitter and receiver in one

The Sennheiser Spectera DAD UHF is a directional antenna for transmitting and receiving, designed to be used as part of the Spectera wireless system. The DAD can provide increased redundancy, improve zonal coverage, and extend the capacity of the frequency spectrum. It will simultaneously transmit both microphone/line and in-ear signals, using the frequency ranges 470–608MHz and 630–698MHz. In addition to transmission, the Sennheiser Spectera DAD can carry out fast and effective scans of the frequency spectrum using Sennheiser's LinkDesk software. LinkDesk is also designed to control and monitor the DAD remotely, provided it has been connected to the Sennheiser Spectera Base Station via the RJ socket on the rear of the device (the socket is also the antenna's power supply).

Detail on the Sennheiser Spectera DAD UHF

Professional standards

The Sennheiser Spectera system is aimed at professional users looking for a high-performance wireless device for multi-channel transmission. It gives musicians, sound techs, and venue operators complete control over all aspects of the transmission and monitoring process, with uninterrupted interference management via an audio network, as well as boasting other great features like its extremely low latency and high immunity to RF fading. This all adds up to make Sennheiser Spectera a uniquely reliable solution for cable-free performances. Secure transmission is guaranteed by AES-256 encryption, and the antenna's integrated RF components completely eliminate the need for additional RF equipment such as combiners, splitters, or boosters. In addition, its IP 54 certification ensures safe and reliable operation. The Sennheiser Spectera DAD 1G4 is a variant of this directional antenna, transmitting in the 1350–1400MHz and 1435–1525MHz frequency ranges.

About Sennheiser

In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company's international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.

Customise, configure, expand

To expand the zonal coverage of a Sennheiser Spectera wireless system even further, a Cat 5e fibre optic cable (sold separately, in lengths of up to 50m) can be used to connect the Sennheiser Spectera DAD UHF to the base station. Ensuring effortless functionality, there are a number of different audio connection modes, which allow each Spectera setup to be customised for different applications, both via the base station or using LinkDesk. There are, for instance, modes which ensure especially low latency levels, although this increases the demands on an RF channel's capacity. Users can even record and play back 3D audio, thanks to the integrated synchronised word clock for all audio signals transmitted using RF technology.
