The Roger On transmitter is now shipping and Phonak is offering up to 30% off on custom bundles for a limited time to celebrate! Contact us for a custom quote on any of the following:

• 20% off on any combination of 10 or more Roger Earpieces, Base Stations, or Repeaters
• 30% off on three Roger On transmitters with and any three Roger Earpieces
• 30% off on any combination of eight or more Roger On transmitters, charging racks, and charging adapters

The Roger On is a multifunctional wireless transmitter that can be used either as mobile transmitter with built-in microphones for direct use with the Roger Earpiece or as a gateway between a belt pack and the Roger Earpiece. It's the smallest and lightest Roger transmitter option and is a great solution to pair with an existing IFB belt pack system with individual earpiece volume control, pairing to unlimited receiver, and the ability to clone frequencies.

Sennheiser unveiled the Spectera wireless system featuring up to 64 channels (32 in / 32 out) in a single receiver, greater protection from RF fading dropouts, and streamlined frequency coordination.

Spectera is Sennheiser's first product line utilizing the recently approved WMAS technology for far more efficient and flexible spectrum use in a bidirectional wireless ecosystem that communicates data and audio over a single RF carrier.

Pre-orders are open now with shipping expected to start in the first half of 2025:

• Spectera Base Station $9999
• Spectera SEK Bodypack Transceiver $1999
• Spectera DAD Antenna $1599
• Spectera Madi Card $149

Chris Phillips, Technical Applications Engineer at Sennheiser, joined us for an Ask Me Anything session about the uses of Wireless Multichannel Audio Systems for production sound and how they're applied in Spectera:

Both Gotham Sound locations will be closed Monday, September 2nd for the Labor Day holiday.
