Spectera SKM fuldender de centrale komponenter i Sennheisers trådløse Spectera-system
Wedemark/Amsterdam, 10. september 2026 – Sennheiser lancerer nu den håndholdte Spectera SKM-transmitter, som er den seneste tilføjelse til Spectera-systemet og fuldender dermed de centrale komponenter i Sennheisers trådløse wideband-løsning med tovejskommunikation. SKM er udviklet til professionel brug inden for blandt andet livelyd, teater, broadcast og kirker og kombinerer Spectera-systemets trådløse teknologi med den lydkvalitet og ydeevne, man forventer af en professionel håndholdt mikrofon.
Powered by Sennheiser’s WMAS approach, Spectera addresses many of the typical challenges that users, operators and owners of wireless audio systems experience today. The Spectera SKM combines Sennheiser’s renowned sound quality with the flexibility and control of the Spectera ecosystem. It delivers ultra-low-latency wireless audio while providing the continuous monitoring, remote configuration and operational visibility required by today’s productions.
Monitoring and remote configuration are built into the Spectera ecosystem through the integrated control channel, without requiring a separate wireless control network. The Spectera handheld transmitter maintains continuous bidirectional communication with the Base Station, enabling engineers to monitor battery status, RF performance, audio levels, signal strength and link quality in real time while remotely adjusting key microphone parameters such as gain and low-cut.

“We are excited to have started shipping the SKM handheld, completing the core elements of our Spectera system”, says Bernd Neubauer, Product Manager at Sennheiser. “At the same time, we will continue evolving the ecosystem based on industry feedback, needs and ideas. Over time, Spectera will be expanded with new software features, hardware devices and services.”
Professional wireless. Without the complexity. Available in both UHF and 1.4 GHz variants, the handheld delivers ultra-low latency down to 1.0 ms. The Spectera SKM takes full advantage of Sennheiser’s wideband WMAS technology: instead of adding an individual receiver channel and coordinating a separate narrowband frequency for each additional handheld, engineers can add the SKM as another device within the Spectera wideband RF environment. This helps simplify RF planning, improves resilience to RF fading and gives production teams greater confidence when deploying wireless microphones in demanding spectrum environments.
The SKM handheld shares the BA 70 or BA 70 2.2 rechargeable battery with the Spectera SEK bodypack and features robust metal construction, AES-256 encryption and an OLED display. Compatible with a wide range of Sennheiser and Neumann microphone capsules, including the all-new Neumann KK 104 A and KK 105 A capsule heads, the Spectera SKM handheld can be tailored to suit a wide range of voices, applications and performance styles while maintaining the natural, detailed sound quality associated with Sennheiser microphones.
