Meet the Sennheiser MobileConnect Station, the hardware heartbeat of a complete live-audio accessibility system engineered for venues that demand clear, inclusive communication. This Station is designed to receive and transmit up to two channels of audio per unit, acting as the central hub that powers the flow of sound between performers, presenters, and audience members who rely on assistive listening. When paired with the MobileConnect App and its Audience Mic talk-back feature, these Stations unlock real-time interaction, making performances, conferences, worship services, and corporate events more accessible for everyone. Built to deliver dependable performance in fast-paced environments, the MobileConnect Station combines robust hardware, straightforward setup, and scalable architecture so you can add coverage as your venue grows. Whether you’re outfitting a small studio, a mid-sized theater, or a large auditorium, this Station is purpose-built to integrate into your existing MobileConnect ecosystem, delivering precise audio routing, strong reliability, and a streamlined management experience for staff and technicians.

• Two-channel audio hub: Each Station receives and transmits up to two independent audio channels, enabling simultaneous distribution of accessibility streams, director commentary, or audience feedback without contention. This dual-channel capability supports flexible routing for diverse events, ensuring clear, separate audio paths for assistive listening and main program sound.
• Seamless Audience Mic talk-back integration: When used with the MobileConnect App, the Station supports Audience Mic talk-back, empowering audience members to interact with presenters or engineers in real time. This feature enhances engagement, enables safe, inclusive Q&A sessions, and improves the overall accessibility experience for attendees who rely on assistive devices.
• Scalable system architecture: designed to work as a core element of a broader MobileConnect deployment, the Station is easy to deploy singly or as part of a multi-station configuration. Add more Stations across larger venues to extend coverage, improve coverage uniformity, and maintain consistent audio quality and accessibility features across spaces of varying sizes.
• Rugged, professional-grade build: Built to withstand the demanding conditions of live events, rehearsal spaces, and religious venues, the Station combines durable construction with quiet operation. Its form factor and engineering are optimized for rack-mount or standalone placement, allowing reliable performance in stages, control rooms, and AV closets.
• User-friendly setup and management: The Station is designed to simplify configuration through the MobileConnect ecosystem. Staff can quickly add the device to an existing system, assign channels, configure talk-back rules, and monitor status—reducing complexity and enabling faster turnarounds for performances and services.
