As part of the Spectera wideband ecosystem, this handheld covers the 1G4 frequency range and supports full remote control of parameters such as gain and low cut over its bidirectional link, making it well suited for broadcast, theater, and large-scale live production. It accepts both Sennheiser and Neumann capsules, which are sold separately, giving integrators flexibility in matching a capsule to the application. This is the 1G4 variant, manufacturer part number 509165, currently available for preorder with shipping expected September 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SPECTERA SKM extends the Spectera bidirectional architecture into a handheld form factor for vocalists, presenters, and on-camera talent. \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Zz04ZGM0ZDlhY2U3ZDkxMWYwYWFiZTJhMzQxNzliYzkxZA.jpg?v=1780789192\" alt=\"Sennheiser SPECTERA SKM bidirectional 1G4 handheld transmitter\"\u003e Its bidirectional link lets audio engineers remotely adjust parameters such as gain and low cut, which simplifies channel management across a large multichannel deployment. The transmitter is compatible with both Sennheiser and Neumann capsules, so an integrator can specify the capsule that best fits the vocal or speech application, with capsules sold separately. An OLED display presents status and channel information at the microphone, and a lightweight aluminum housing keeps the handheld manageable during extended use while protecting the electronics. The SKM uses AES 256 encryption for both audio and control data, protecting confidential content in broadcast and corporate productions. It operates in the 1G4 ranges of 1350-1400 MHz and 1435-1525 MHz, which should be coordinated against local spectrum regulations during deployment. Batteries are sold separately. As a preorder item, units are expected to ship in September 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBidirectional Control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports full remote control of parameters such as gain and low cut over the Spectera bidirectional link.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1G4 Frequency Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Operates in the 1350-1400 MHz and 1435-1525 MHz ranges for flexible spectrum coordination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSennheiser and Neumann Capsule Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Accepts both Sennheiser and Neumann capsules so integrators can match the capsule to the application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAES 256 Encryption\u003c\/strong\u003e — Encrypts both audio and control data to protect confidential content in professional productions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOLED Display\u003c\/strong\u003e — Presents status and channel information directly at the microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Housing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Uses a lightweight yet durable aluminum body suited to demanding live and broadcast use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Part Number (SKU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e509165\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWireless Microphone Systems (Handheld Transmitter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1G4 (1350-1400 MHz and 1435-1525 MHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRF Encryption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAES 256 (audio and control data)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapsule Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSennheiser and Neumann capsules (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLightweight aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemote gain and low cut via bidirectional link\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreorder, shipping September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich capsules are compatible with the SPECTERA SKM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handheld accepts both Sennheiser and Neumann capsules, which are sold separately, allowing integrators to match the capsule to the vocal or speech application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan engineers control the transmitter remotely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
