Sennheiser introduces Profile Wireless 1-channel mic and releases 32-bit float firmware update
By Editor_wr On May 16, 2025 Sennheiser today announced a one-channel version of its Profile Wireless 2.4 GHz all-in-one microphone solution. The streamlined single-mic system comes in a compact bag and includes a second USB charging cable instead of the charging bar of the two-channel version launched in late 2024. Designed to be lightweight and ultra-portable, the one-channel version covers typical usage scenarios of solo creators, while allowing for later expansion of the system by including the same two-channel receiver as the Profile Wireless 2-channel system. Also, a 32-bit float firmware update for all Profile Wireless systems is available for download on the Sennheiser website from today. The Profile Wireless 1-channel mic system includes a clip-on mic with mini windshield and magnetic mount, a two-channel receiver, two USB cables, USB-C and Lightning adapters, a camera cable and a shoe mount adapter Streamlined one-channel version 'Following the huge success of the Profile Wireless 2-channel system, we're now catering to the solo creator, who does not require the full two-channel package but would rather like to save on weight and cost and still have Sennheiser audio quality,' says Hendrik Millauer, Product Manager Broadcast & Film at Sennheiser. 'Profile Wireless 1-channel is also ideal for the casual user looking for a wireless mic to hook up to their laptop, for example.' Profile Wireless 1-channel is also an ideal solution for users looking for a wireless mic for their laptop Just like the two-channel version, the solo system is quick and easy to set up – no app required. It can be used on cameras, with smartphones and computers, and can be combined with an external lavalier microphone or even used to create a wireless boom. The mic has an operating time of up to seven hours, and 16 GB of memory for up to 30 hours of internal recording. Profile Wireless can also be used to create a wireless boom, here in combination with an MKE 400 mini-shotgun mic The Profile Wireless 1-channel mic system comes in a rugged pouch that includes the clip-on microphone with mini windshield and magnetic mount, a two-channel receiver, two USB cables, USB-C and Lightning adapters, a camera cable and a shoe mount adapter. As all Profile Wirelesss components can also be bought separately, nothing stands in the way of expanding the system to two channels at a later point in time. 32-bit float update for Profile Wireless 'With the latest Profile Wireless firmware update, we're addressing user requests for a 32-bit float functionality,' says Millauer. 'This will allow creators to record with extremely high dynamic range, and help them to recover clipped audio.' For 32-bit float recording, Profile Wireless combines the audio signals of the two A/D converters inside the Profile Wireless mics to create a single 32-bit float audio stream. Creators who prefer 24-bit recording due to its lower memory requirement still have the option to deactivate 32-bit float recording and turn on the Safety Channel Mode. This will output a -6dB version of the audio in addition to the original sound level and thus help protect against clipping. To update their Profile Wireless system to firmware version V4.1.0, creators are asked to visit . Under Downloads, they will find various firmware updates for Mac and PC, with a smart tool guiding them through the update process for the receiver and transmitter(s). Please note that the first batches of the Profile Wireless 1-channel mic also need to be updated to firmware version V4.1.0. Millauer concludes, 'With the addition of the one-channel system and 32-bit float recording, Profile Wireless becomes the most versatile tool for creators who value excellent sound and see it as a key differentiator for quality content.' The Profile Wireless 1-channel mic is available from today and retails at EUR 199 (MSRP), USD 199 (MAP), or GBP 169 (MSRP). Comments are closed.

FOR-A showcases next-generation broadcast solutions at CABSAT
The company will highlight four key technologies, all making their CABSAT debut, that are transforming broadcast workflows across the Middle East, Africa and beyond. FOR-A is set to showcase its latest lineup of next-generation broadcast technologies at CABSAT 2025, taking place from May 13 to 15 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Stand AR-G10). Under the theme 'Connecting the present, Building the future,' the company will demonstrate how its cutting-edge solutions are bridging current production needs with the evolving demands of tomorrow's broadcast environments. Among the highlights of FOR-A's exhibit will be four groundbreaking technologies making their regional debut. Leading the lineup is FOR-A IMPULSE (Integrated Media Platform with UnLimited StructurE), which recently earned the Best of Show Award at NAB 2025. This software-defined live production platform merges essential broadcast functions—such as switchers, signal processors, multi-viewers, graphic generators, audio mixers, and media players—into a single, cohesive software solution. Its intuitive graph editor allows operators to create tailored production pipelines on the fly, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware and enabling unmatched workflow flexibility. Another showstopper will be the HANABI HVS-Q12, FOR-A's flagship production switcher, which represents a major leap forward in compact and scalable switcher technology. Housed in a space-saving 4RU chassis, the HVS-Q12 is designed for both 3G and 12G operations, allowing broadcasters to transition seamlessly to 4K/UHD workflows. The unit supports up to 60 inputs and 32 outputs in 3G mode, and up to 42 inputs and 23 outputs in 12G mode. It also features dual HDMI outputs and offers compatibility with IP standards such as Dante and NDI, enhancing its integration potential across diverse production environments. Also making its regional debut is the FOR-A MixBoard, developed in partnership with ClassX. Following its initial launch at IBC 2024—where it won the TVBEurope Best of Show award—and a subsequent Best of Show Award at NAB 2025, the software-based switcher continues to impress. With unlimited layering capabilities, the MixBoard allows seamless operation across SDI, NDI, SMPTE ST 2110, media files, and live streams. Available in 8-input and 16-input configurations, it offers advanced features through an intuitive interface, giving producers creative freedom in live production scenarios. Rounding out the showcase is FOR-A's AI-powered assistant, codenamed AiDi, which will be introduced to the region for the first time. Designed to run offline on a single PC, AiDi delivers real-time video processing with ultra-low latency. Drawing on over five decades of archived content, AiDi supports a range of intelligent features including automated subtitle translation, audio analysis, live video monitoring, face and object recognition, synthetic graphics generation, and player tracking for sports broadcasts—bringing new levels of automation and insight to modern production workflows. 'The broadcast landscape in the Middle East and Africa continues to evolve rapidly with major sporting events, cultural celebrations, and government initiatives driving demand for higher quality content and more flexible delivery options,' said Mohammed Abu Ziyadeh, FOR-A Regional Manager for the Middle East and Africa. 'Our solutions bridge traditional workflows with next-generation technologies, allowing broadcasters to evolve at their own pace, whether maintaining SDI infrastructures, exploring hybrid workflows, or fully embracing IP and software-defined production.'
