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 www.sennheiser.com/profilewireless . 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).

11th Annual HR Tech MENA Summit wraps up on a high note
Dubai, UAE – The 11th Annual HR Tech MENA Summit, held on May 20–21, 2025, in Dubai, UAE, concluded successfully with over 500 senior HR and tech leaders from across the MENA region in attendance. This prestigious event organized by QNA International, focused on the evolving intersection of human resources and technology, highlighted how AI, data analytics, and HR tech are transforming the workplace today and tomorrow. From a decade of legacy to stepping into a new era, the summit marked a defining moment in the region's HR journey—one where Tech Transformation is no longer a choice but a necessity, human connections meet intelligent systems in a powerful blend of human and tech, and every interaction becomes a digital handshake driving workforce evolution. Celebrating a decade of legacy and stepping into a new era, the summit spotlighted the region's ongoing digital transformation and commitment to employee-centric practices. With a sharp focus on innovation, AI integration, and workforce agility, the event gathered C-suite executives, decision-makers, and pioneering tech experts. Key discussions revolved around the role of AI in enhancing employee experience, streamlining decision-making, and supporting data-driven HR strategies. Over two impactful days, the summit provided a platform for knowledge-sharing, networking, and strategic collaboration. 'Our latest survey, conducted during the event, revealed that many organizations now expect over half of their HR decisions to be data-driven, and 83% rate AI highly important in HR processes,' said Sidh NC, Director at QNA International, the event organizer. 'These insights demonstrate the region's accelerated shift toward digital-first HR strategies and a future-ready workforce.' In addition to keynote addresses and panel discussions, the summit facilitated in-depth exploration into how emerging technologies are redefining traditional HR functions. James Tarbit, Global Head of Employee Experience at Ipsos, shared his perspective: 'It's been a fascinating summit. The conversation is becoming more timely than ever. With AI adoption doubling in the past 12 months, this is truly the perfect time to be having these discussions. The summit also emphasized the importance of high-quality engagement. Anthony Keenan, Solutions Director at Qualtrics Middle East, highlighted the event's collaborative spirit: 'The networking breaks have been excellent. I was impressed by the diversity and quality of delegates. This dynamic was clearly driven by the insightful content shared during the sessions, which focused everyone on the core themes of the day.' A standout moment came from Mohammed A. Bukhary, Deputy Mayor of Human Capital for Makkah, who spoke about the event's role in regional collaboration: 'Being here with so many talented professionals and HR experts is a tremendous opportunity. Events like this enable us to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and strengthen our community. The collective experience is immense-more than a thousand years of expertise gathered in one place. ' While technology remained central to the summit, the event also emphasized human connections in a digital-first world. Ali AbuHaliqa, Executive Director of Human Capital and Deputy Chief Corporate Support Officer at Mubadala Energy, reflected: 'It was truly a pleasure to be part of the event. I enjoyed the energy in the room and the engaging discussions. ' The positive energy continued with reflections from Lisa Lyons, Partner at Mercer, who appreciated the diverse perspectives brought to the table: 'It has been fascinating to hear such a diversity of thought from panelists, keynote speakers, and delegates. The mix of participants—from leaders of large organisations to start-ups created a unique chemistry and range of viewpoints that made every conversation meaningful.' A major feature of the summit was the live survey conducted throughout the event, which offered real-time insights into the region's evolving HR tech landscape. Survey results showed that nearly half of the respondents now expect data to drive most HR decisions, while over two-thirds (69.8%) see AI as vital in HR processes. These findings reinforced the urgency for businesses to adapt and embrace smarter, tech-enabled HR strategies. As the region's flagship gathering for HR innovation, the next edition promises deeper insights, cutting-edge trends, and even more strategic networking opportunities. With continued focus on AI, data analytics, employee experience, and organisational agility, the upcoming summit aims to help organisations future-proof their HR operations and workforce strategies. As we move from a decade of legacy into a new era of transformation, the HR Tech MENA Summit stands as the region's most prestigious and premier event, creating a powerful digital handshake between technology and human potential. 'The 11th HR Tech MENA Summit was more than just a gathering—it was a catalyst for action,' said Sidh NC, Director at QNA International. 'As we turn the page on a decade of progress, we're stepping into a future where HR is not just enhanced by technology but empowered by it. The conversations, connections, and commitments made here will echo across boardrooms and businesses, driving a more agile, intelligent, and human-centered world of work.' The successful conclusion of the 11th HR Tech MENA Summit not only underscored the MENA region's commitment to HR innovation but also laid a strong foundation for the future of work. As organisations continue to adopt new technologies and agile practices, summits like the HR Tech MENA Summit will play a crucial role in shaping the workplace of tomorrow, where the blend of human insight and technological advancement drives meaningful, lasting change.
