Sennheiser brought its latest innovations in professional audio, AV management and collaboration to ISE 2026.

At ISE 2026, Sennheiser Group invited attendees to step into its new double-stand space, designed for exploration and connection with its brands Sennheiser, Neumann.Berlin, AMBEO and Merging Technologies, as well as with its partner SoundBase.

The stand featured hands-on experiences and an engaging demonstration room, showcasing the latest audio innovations for education, corporate environments, live sound, broadcasting and studios.

A stand designed for discovery

Each area of the Sennheiser Group stand was designed to inspire. Visitors were able to experience first-hand how Sennheiser’s scalable audio solutions naturally adapted to any application, environment or need. From interactive demos to practical product presentations, the stand fostered valuable conversations with experts ready to guide attendees through each innovation.

Experience cutting-edge technologies

Sennheiser presented its latest advances in:

• AV management – Simplifying workflows for IT and AV teams through cloud-based management.
• Voice Lift technology – Delivering crystal-clear speech in acoustically complex environments.
• RF coordination and wireless audio – Setting new standards for reliability and scalability.
• Immersive audio – Transforming the way professionals experienced sound.

Daniel Sennheiser live on stage

To open the event, Daniel Sennheiser, Chairman of the Managing Board of the Sennheiser Group, took part in the ISE 2026 Investor Forum. As part of the forum, Mr Sennheiser joined the panel Reflections from the Money-side. The panellists shared the opportunities and challenges encountered when exploring investments in the pro AV space, including perspectives from different investor profiles, whether venture capital, private equity or corporate.

Solutions for business communication

The Sennheiser Business Communication area focused on enabling collaboration and learning. Whether designing hybrid learning spaces, managing AV across multiple campuses or integrating BYOD solutions, Sennheiser offered tools that simplified complexity. A highlight was the next-generation soundproof demo room, where visitors were able to experience TeamConnect Bar and TeamConnect Ceiling solutions. Here, Sennheiser also demonstrated TruVoicelift in one of the most challenging environments for audio —the exhibition venue itself— showing how effective and powerful voice lift could be.

Interactive engagement

Visitors were able to join the ISE26 Hunt, an interactive challenge that highlighted Sennheiser’s partner ecosystem. By scanning QR codes and completing small tasks, participants were able to unlock exclusive prizes —including this year’s coveted Sennheiser socks— while discovering how Sennheiser and its partners created connected, flexible environments.

Introducing DeviceHub: a new era in AV management

At ISE 2026, Sennheiser officially launched DeviceHub, a secure cloud-based platform designed for IT and AV managers as well as system integrators. DeviceHub centralised device visibility and remote management, optimising workflows in business, education and corporate environments.

DeviceHub provided real-time insights, simplified configuration and unified control, helping organisations create better spaces for communication, learning and teamwork. Following a successful private beta, ISE marked the transition to public availability. Visitors were able to explore DeviceHub’s capabilities and speak directly with product experts about how it could transform their AV and IT operations.

Initially available for TeamConnect Bar solutions, compatibility would expand to other Sennheiser devices throughout 2026.

Spectera Lab at ISE 2026

Spectera, the world’s first wideband bidirectional wireless ecosystem, continued to evolve and, at Spectera Lab, some of the most notable upcoming features were previewed for the first time. For example, ISE visitors were able to see the SKM handheld transmitter, including the Command adapter, and the ZMAN Base Station for SMPTE 2110 broadcast workflows. In addition, Sennheiser announced that it would provide future access to the Spectera API, enabling advanced customisation and control in multi-brand workflows. Spectera experts were on hand to offer an in-depth look at Sennheiser’s WMAS implementation and the many benefits it brought to wireless workflows.

SoundBase, the world’s first brand-neutral RF coordination tool

The Sennheiser team welcomed SoundBase as a partner and ran demonstrations of its application, the world’s first universal wireless audio management software. Universal RF planning and collaborative workflows were SoundBase’s hallmarks, eliminating the need to switch between different manufacturers’ software when coordinating frequencies in a wireless audio system.

Developed by audio veterans Matt Dale and Donny Kuser, the app integrated with equipment from major manufacturers and enabled seamless remote collaboration. At ISE 2026, a notable new feature for the free version of the app was announced.

Comprehensive Neumann solutions for immersive audio

The stand also featured a Neumann immersive studio area with a full 7.1.4 setup using KH 150 and KH 120 II studio monitors, as well as the new KH 810 II subwoofer with multichannel bass management. The immersive setup was controlled via Neumann’s high-end MT 48 audio interface, seamlessly paired with multiple Merging Hapi MK III units with all available I/O expansion cards. A MassCore system ran Merging’s acclaimed Pyramix 15 and Ovation 11 software. The Merging Anubis interface was also showcased, with the AMBEO spatial audio plug-in.

Another major highlight was VIS – Virtual Immersive Studio, Neumann’s innovative app for Apple Vision Pro. VIS was the missing link between spatial audio and spatial computing, making immersive mixing intuitive. Users were able to view and organise audio sources around them in a three-dimensional space using hand gestures. Visitors were invited to experience VIS for themselves and get a glimpse of the future of immersive audio. Although VIS could be used with an immersive loudspeaker setup, it was also compatible with RIME, which was demonstrated separately. RIME, recently updated to version 1.5, was Neumann’s solution for immersive headphone monitoring on NDH 20 and NDH 30 headphones, delivering striking realism.Neumann’s famous KU 100 binaural head (known as “Fritz”) was also exhibited, along with a selection of reissued legendary microphones, such as the M 49 V and the U 67.
