Sennheiser Spectera bidirectional wireless audio

[@richards6065]

The workflow to this is just like modern intercoms. You need to be on top of things and manage it correctly. It’s easy to do as long as you’re organized and looking ahead.

[@DCAVL]

The idea of it is growing on me more since the release date. Looking forward to seeing it in person. Thanks for watching and being in the comments!

[@Reedith]

If they made this work with their EWD microphones and packs that would be incredible

[@jthunderbass1]

30 channels is useful for corporate. I get your observations, it one thing is, if you have it for multiple instruments, it’s got 30 channels, so you can have a bunch of transmitters at the same time.

How many mixing consoles do you use on a gig? How quickly can you swap in a spare and restart the show? There's always a single point of failure, Sennheiser has a pretty solid track record, this looks like touring grade kit, where they probably will have more than one in the rack. Watch the keynote - they even said you'd be able to cascade them

[@DCAVL]

Thanks for watching the Keynote and my video 👍

When looking at large mic counts/ IEM counts, this system scales up at a lower price point then buying individual pieces. Amazing product. Can't wait to see them in the real world. Let alone how much this is going to change the industry as we know it. Broadway musicals getting performers to have mics and IEM's in one pack. Glorious!

[@Reedith]

I'm definitely probably going to try and save up for one of these systems it seems like it'll pay itself back within years or months depending on how many gigs you do

[@DCAVL]

It looks solid. Looking forward to see who ends up using it.

cool cool cool spectera

[@aaronho4242]

people who think Spectera are expensive dont buy high end wireless to begin with.

[@lucidlx]

I’m surprised no one hasn’t done this sooner. SDRs have been a thing for a long time now. I suspect all the magic is in the antenna. That is where the SDR will be. The base is probably mostly just a management computer.

[@Reedith]

Is it going to work with their EWD microphones?

[@Reedith]

It would be nice if they added a half rack system with half the amount of channels for like four grand

[@Katnipp_]

I think its fine to have 32 wireless mics come back to one unit. Like You would still be coming back to 1 stage box what if that stage box dies? plus also being able to have 4 antennas off one unit means its probably really reliable, IF THE SOFTWARE IS GOOD

[@aaronaudioguy]

Anyone know if the IEM send can be changed to stereo?

[@gregreynolds6728]

Do you think Shure is going to do something similar?

[@TKTafari]

lol just wait till you see what they drop

[@lucidlx]

For Shure they will!

[@AK-IT]

@@lucidlx nice one

[@martinlonek8980]

@@lucidlx I wonder if Senn. is having an U.S. patent for this or not. If they do, other makers will have a tough time competing. If not, we can expect tough competition in the near future.

[@lucidlx]

@@martinlonek8980 I think it would be hard to patent this. Both Shure and Sennheiser already had multichannel receivers. They have just combined TX and RX into one box.

[@TinoSchulz1990]

10k Euros (inlc. Taxes) only for the base-unit. They should sell this at 5k for base-unit and 899 for the bidirectional trans/receiver. It'll sell like hot cakes. But 10k for the base unit alone? No thanks.

[@lukasbunk3047]

You know how expensive the other options for wireless microphones are, do you? For the base unit you would just get like 12 channels of EW-DX (only the reciever). So the price is pretty reasonable.

[@martinlonek8980]

For movie/TV use, Spectera is worth it if you have more than 16 channels. Compared to Wisycom, Senn. d6000 line, Shure Axient. But that´s a primitive price calculation only, it doesn´t take the robustness of this system in consideration.
