Spectera Base Station

Article No. 509162

The Spectera Base Station is a 1RU hardware device that provides up to 64 channels (32 in/32 out) and utilizes up to two wideband RF carriers to accommodate all of the unit’s wireless transmission.

It features redundant Dante and optional redundant MADI, ensuring seamless integration into your audio network. Additional antennas can be added for redundancy, extended zone coverage, or additional spectrum capacity.

The Spectera Base Station supports sample rates of 48 kHz and 96 kHz and features individual sample rate converters for all audio interfaces and wordclock I/O. Base Station must be activated with license per region.
