At ISE 2026, the Sennheiser Group invites attendees to step into its newly designed dual stand space, built for exploration and connection with its brands Sennheiser, Neumann.Berlin, Ambeo and Merging Technologies as well as its partner SoundBase. The stand will feature hands-on experiences and an engaging demo room, highlighting the group’s latest audio innovations for educational, corporate, live audio, broadcasting and studio spaces.
Spectera, the world’s first bidirectional wideband wireless ecosystem, continues to evolve, with the Spectera Lab previewing the most exciting upcoming functionalities. For example, ISE visitors can explore the SKM handheld transmitter including the Command adapter and the Base Station ZMAN for SMPTE 2110 broadcast workflows. Also, Sennheiser will in future give access to Spectera’s API, allowing for advanced customisation and control across multi-vendor workflows. Sennheiser’s Spectera experts will be on site to give guests a deep dive into the Sennheiser implementation of WMAS and the many advantages it brings to wireless workflows.
In addition, SoundBase will be demoing its app, which is the world’s first universal wireless audio management software. Universal RF planning and collaborative workflows are the hallmarks of the SoundBase app, which eliminates the need to switch between different manufacturers’ software when frequency-coordinating a wireless audio system. Developed by audio veterans Matt Dale and Donny Kuser, the app integrates with equipment from all major manufacturers and enables seamless remote collaboration. At ISE 2026, an exciting addition to the free version of the app will be announced.
The stand will also feature an immersive studio area by Neumann featuring a full 7.1.4 setup with KH 150 and KH 120 II studio monitors as well as the brand-new KH 810 II subwoofer with multichannel bass management. The immersive setup will be controlled via Neumann’s MT 48 high-end audio interface, paired with several Merging Hapi MK III units featuring all available I/O extension cards. A MassCore system will run Merging’s Pyramix 15 and Ovation 11 software. Also on display will be Merging’s Anubis interface featuring the Ambeo spatial audio plug-in.
Another highlight will be VIS – Virtual Immersive Studio, Neumann’s app for Apple Vision Pro. VIS is the missing link between spatial audio and spatial computing, making immersive mixing intuitive. Users can see and arrange audio sources around them in three-dimensional space using hand gestures. Visitors are invited to experience VIS for themselves and get a glimpse of the future of immersive audio. Although VIS can be used with an immersive loudspeaker setup, it also supports RIME, which will also be demonstrated separately. RIME, recently updated to version 1.5, is Neumann’s solution for immersive monitoring on NDH 20 and NDH 30 headphones – with stunning realism.
