Evolving hardware/software ecosystem; future releases will include SKM handheld mic, cascade port activation, plus a variety of innovative hardware and software updates
Overview
Innovation sounds like this
The future of wireless pro audio is here — and it’s bidirectional. Featuring up to 64 channels (32 in/ 32 out) in a single unit, Spectera is the world's first wideband, bidirectional digital wireless ecosystem, providing audio professionals with unparalleled capability and flexibility. Spectera’s 11 Audio Link modes give you unprecedented control of latency, audio quality and more for each link, while its bidirectional bodypacks manage both in-ear monitor and mic/line signals simultaneously.

FAQ
Basestation
Is it possible to connect more than one antenna to the Spectera base station for range extension?
Yes, up to 4 antennas can be used simultaneously with a single Spectera base station.
What are the Spectera base station’s redundancy features?
To ensure reliable operation, many connections to the Spectera base station offer redundancy, including its MADI and Dante connectivity, and the power supply. Multi-antenna setups can also be deployed for redundancy.
What audio connections does the Spectera base station have?
The Spectera base station features Dante connectivity and the option for up to two MADI ports. All interfaces can even be used in parallel and clocked independently for easy connection to, for example, Mon, FOH or OB.
SEK bodypack
Can I use the Spectera SEK bodypack for both IEM and microphone at the same time?
Yes, each bidirectional Spectera SEK bodypack manages both IEM and mic/line signals simultaneously.
Why does the Spectera SEK bodypack have a multiturn volume encode?
The multiturn encoder on the Spectera SEK bodypack offers numerous advantages. It allows remote control of the bodypack and monitoring of signal level. It helps to guard against accidentally powering off the bodypack. It offers finer resolution adjustments (0.5dB per click), and you can define the volume range with upper and lower limits.
Can I monitor battery status and IEM antenna level of the Spectera SEK bodypack?
Yes, the wideband RF channel offers full remote control and monitoring of all parameters of each Spectera SEK bodypack.
DAD antenna
What cable length can be used with the Spectera DAD antenna?
The Spectera DAD antenna is compatible with standard network cables up to 100 meters in length.
With the Spectera DAD antenna, can I extend the cable beyond 100 meters if needed?
Yes, it's possible to use standard media converters to convert to fiber and extend up to 4 kilometers without any losses.
With the Spectera DAD antenna, can I run the antenna signal via a network switch?
No, the Spectera DAD antenna requires a direct connection to the base station. This is part of the system design and is needed to achieve the lowest possible latency.
