Sennheiser MobileConnect Station
Details
Sennheiser MobileConnect Station is the hardware centerpiece of an entire MobileConnect live-audio accessibility system. Each Station both receives and transmits up to two channels of audio. When combined with the MobileConnect App’s Audience Mic talk-back feature, MobileConnect Stations are where you and your audience connect.
Each Ethernet-powered Station, used in Standalone Mode, can reach your audience members wherever they are in the room. Or, utilising MobileConnect Manager and easily adding additional Stations, you can reach an entire campus or facility through an existing WIFI network. MobileConnect Stations’ Unicast audio streams are available in either stereo or mono operation and, depending on the network, and audience devices used, offer clear, high-quality sound with as little as 25 ms latency. They can connect to the facility’s current user control system through Crestron, Extron, QSC plugins, or other systems using the MobileConnect API. And thanks to digital audio using Dante, they can be installed in a central server room or anywhere in the network.
MobileConnect is an innovative, scalable, app-based accessibility solution that integrates assistive and focused listening and a talk-back feature into your audience’s personal smartphones. The system consists of three components: one or more easily integrated MobileConnect Stations, the MobileConnect App and MobileConnect Manager software. It also works through your existing WIFI network, making installation fast and intuitive for your IT and AV teams.
The Sennheiser MobileConnect app-based design (available at no charge, iOS/Android) features Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) technology that transforms audience smartphones into discreet microphones and personal assistive listening systems, ensuring every participant feels included. With seamless compatibility across induction neck loops, headphones, and hearing aids, accessibility is delivered with confidence and discretion. The intuitive app interface allows each user to optimise their own listening experience, while customisable branding and onboarding screens create a tailored, professional impression. Quick and flexible access to preferred audio streams ensures engagement is effortless, whether participants are listening, responding, or interacting from anywhere in the room.
At the heart of the system is low-latency, crystal-clear audio that delivers precise sound to every listener. Secure streaming access allows integrators to define available channels, while MobileConnect Manager provides intuitive oversight and control. Ready-made plugins for Crestron, Extron, and QSC — alongside the open MobileConnect API — enable seamless integration into wider AV ecosystems. With scalable deployment and Dante audio distribution, the system adapts effortlessly to different facilities and hybrid environments, supporting decentralised installations and future-proof flexibility.
