Sennheiser to debut wireless audio system Spectera at CABSAT 2025

Attendees are invited to experience Spectera in action during CABSAT 2025 at the Sennheiser booth.
At CABSAT 2025, Sennheiser Middle East, in collaboration with Venuetech, will unveil and demonstrate Spectera, reportedly the world's first bidirectional wideband wireless audio solution, powered by cutting-edge WMAS (Wireless Multichannel Audio Systems) technology. This system is set to transform wireless audio by drastically simplifying system design while boosting performance and enabling comprehensive remote control and continuous spectrum monitoring.
Spectera will be showcased at Sennheiser's booth in the Sheikh Saeed Halls 1, where visitors can participate in live demonstrations. The system features advanced bidirectional bodypacks that simultaneously handle digital IEM/IFB and mic/line signals. Its robust resistance to RF fading and flexibility in utilising a wideband RF channel enable digital IEM latency as low as 0.7 milliseconds.
Mig Cardamone, Sales Director of Sennheiser Middle East, said: 'We are thrilled to see years of technological development and spectrum policy work turn into a digital wireless ecosystem that will solve many of the issues that users of wireless multichannel systems are faced with today. Our wideband solution will be ideal for large productions, whether in the touring, broadcasting, or theatre fields, or in any other area that requires multichannel audio setups. Spectera satisfies our customers' chief desires and needs regarding ease of use, operational reliability and flexibility. It offers less hardware, drastically reduced frequency coordination, redundancy, and the flexibility of an ecosystem that grows with your needs.'
Spectera directly addresses common issues in wireless audio such as intricate frequency coordination, complicated rack setups, and bulky system footprints. By using a proprietary variant of OFDM-TDMA tailored for reliable, low-latency, bidirectional multichannel communication, it replaces multiple narrowband carriers with a single 6 or 8 MHz wideband RF channel. This enables seamless integration of IEM and mic signals within the same channel, eliminating the need for separate frequency bands and significantly reducing RF fading thanks to high diversity across the channel.
A key highlight of the system is its Base Station, which condenses the capabilities of a full rack of mic receivers and IEM transmitters into a compact 1RU unit with up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs. This innovation, along with versatile bodypacks that serve both transmission and reception functions, drastically minimizes the hardware footprint and simplifies logistics for both engineers and performers.
'Having just one pack is not only a great asset for performers,' added Ryan Burr, Head of Technical Sales & Application Engineering, Sennheiser Middle East 'it also makes the work of the sound engineer easier, who has just one type of pack and can, if required, quickly add an IEM to a mic. Warehousing also becomes less complex, with just one Base Station and two frequency variants – UHF and 1G4 – for bodypacks and antennas.'
Spectera represents a total shift in control and monitoring: It doesn't just offer a back channel, but continuous two-way communication throughout, for truly complete remote control. Via the permanent control data stream, audio settings can be adjusted, IEM and mic levels adapted, RF health and battery status monitored, and much more. AES 256 encryption (AES 256 CTR Mode with >10kYears expiry) for both audio and control data ensures the necessary data privacy.
Also, all units help in continuously sensing the spectrum, meaning they scan for potential interference from other RF sources. With Spectera, it is possible for the first time to see 'behind' the RF channel that is actually being used and detect interference.
Spectera delivers signature Sennheiser digital audio quality for mics, instruments and IEMs, employing different application-optimised audio codecs, which are all internally processed with 32-bit-float precision.
Eleven Audio Link Modes allow for selectable control of audio quality, latency, channel count and operating range for each and every audio link, flexibly throughout a production. The operator can always use the RF channel to the maximum, either by giving fewer audio links a high quality or by allowing more links and reducing the quality accordingly.
'Spectera is a game-changer for the pro audio industry, and we're proud to bring it to the region in partnership with Sennheiser at CABSAT 2025,' stated Alice Macaluso, Brand Manager of Sennheiser at Venuetech. 'It's unmatched ability to combine high performance, compact design, and complete bidirectional signal and control opens up an entirely new chapter in wireless audio. This launch reflects Venuetech's ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovation to our clients across broadcast, live production, and installation sectors.'

Eutelsat, Rotana and Vestel launch targeted advertising on satellite TV

The platform's multi-solution architecture allows broadcasters to either manage ad scheduling themselves or opt for a streamlined, automated process. Satellite operator Eutelsat has teamed up with Rotana Media Services and consumer electronics giant Vestel to introduce geographic-based targeted advertising for satellite television channels. The partnership, unveiled at CABSAT 2025, aims to transform Free-to-Air (FTA) broadcasting by enhancing monetisation through precise audience targeting. Building on the success of its service—which has already improved the way FTA viewers discover and engage with content—Eutelsat is now reengineering delivery, playout and reporting mechanisms across mass-market satellite receivers. This new strategy is designed to accelerate the adoption of targeted advertising to 35m households in the MENA region within five years, from a total audience of 66m households currently served by the Eutelsat-Nilesat 7/8°West orbital position. Re-engineering delivery, playout and reporting mechanisms of mass market satellite receivers, Eutelsat and partners are driving the rapid rollout of satellite-targeted advertising to tens of millions of satellite households within a five-year timeframe. A multi-solution architecture will give broadcasters complete control to schedule and trigger advertising, or a managed approach for those who prefer to minimise the technical and administrative details. Aymeric Genty, President of the Eutelsat Video Business Unit, commented: 'Targeted advertising multiplies the revenue potential of each ad minute. Most advertisers are interested in the specific market segments that they are targeting. This enables broadcasters to expand their number of advertisers. It’s a win-win solution that generates more revenue through satellite television. The advertising opportunities on satellite are huge. There are 66 million households in MENA watching TV at the Eutelsat-Nilesat 7/8°West video neighbourhood. Our goal is to activate targeted ads for 35m of them within five years.' Nezar Nagro, President of Rotana Media Services, added: 'RMS operates at the intersection of premium content, advanced ad technology, and deep regional market expertise. With established offices in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt, we are uniquely positioned to unlock advertiser demand within local markets, enabling brands to target audiences with precision and scale. 'As advertisers increasingly demand proof of performance, our focus is also on enabling reliable return channel data from connected devices to validate ad delivery and audience engagement. This data layer is critical to building trust and accountability in a satellite-based targeting ecosystem. Coupled with geographic ad insertion, it opens the door to scalable, market-specific monetisation on linear TV, a transformation that brings the efficiencies and precision of digital into the satellite environment. We’re excited to partner with Eutelsat and Vestel to help realise this evolution.' At?nç Ö?üt, Deputy General Manager of Vestel Consumer Electronics Product Management, stated: 'As a leading TV manufacturer, we are committed to enhancing the user experience by providing smarter and more intuitive access to content. Our collaboration with Eutelsat to integrate functionality directly into our TVs is a significant step forward – offering consumers easier channel navigation and an enriched, dynamic programme guide. In addition, while most of our Smart TVs already support targeted advertising through internet-based IPTV environments, bringing this capability to satellite broadcasting has remained a challenge – until now. This advancement opens up new and exciting opportunities for personalised advertising on satellite TV, a breakthrough that will transform advertising monetisation in this space. We are delighted to be working with Eutelsat to lead this innovation.'
