Sennheiser highlights ongoing evolution of DeviceHub platform at InfoComm 2026

Background and context

Table of Contents

Sennheiser returned to InfoComm 2026 with a focus on the continued development of DeviceHub, its platform intended to manage and integrate networked audio devices across professional environments.

The company has been expanding its portfolio of IP-based microphones, wireless systems, and installed sound solutions, creating a growing need for centralized oversight. DeviceHub sits at the center of that strategy, aiming to give AV and IT teams a unified way to configure, monitor, and update deployed hardware.

With large venues, corporate campuses, and higher education facilities increasingly relying on networked AV, manufacturers are under pressure to offer tools that simplify day-to-day operations while fitting into existing IT workflows. InfoComm provided Sennheiser a stage to show how DeviceHub is evolving to meet those expectations.

Key announcement

At InfoComm 2026, Sennheiser showcased the latest iteration of DeviceHub, emphasizing expanded device support, refinements to the user interface, and deeper integration with networked audio infrastructures.

According to the company, the current evolution of DeviceHub focuses on three main areas:

Broader compatibility with Sennheiser’s installed audio and wireless product lines, allowing more devices to be managed from a single interface.
Improved configuration and monitoring tools designed to speed up deployment and troubleshooting in complex AV networks.
Enhanced support for standards-based audio-over-IP workflows, reflecting the shift toward IP-centric event and installation designs.

DeviceHub is positioned as a browser-based environment that can be accessed by both AV and IT managers, with features aimed at remote management of distributed systems. While Sennheiser used InfoComm to highlight incremental improvements rather than a complete relaunch, the company framed these updates as part of an ongoing roadmap for the platform.

More information about the DeviceHub ecosystem and supported products is available on Sennheiser’s official website at sennheiser.com.

Industry impact

The evolution of DeviceHub reflects a broader trend in the AV and event technology sector: the shift from standalone hardware toward managed, networked infrastructures. As more devices sit on the network, management platforms are becoming critical to maintaining reliability and consistency at scale.

For system integrators, centralized tools can reduce commissioning time and help standardize configurations across multiple rooms or venues. For operators, they offer visibility into performance and status without needing to be physically present at each device location.

Sennheiser’s emphasis on cross-product support and IP workflows also aligns with how many event spaces now operate. Conferences, hybrid events, and multi-room installations increasingly rely on interoperable solutions that can tie into broader IT systems and remote operations.

Why this matters

For event technology professionals, the ongoing development of DeviceHub is relevant in several ways:

It signals that major audio manufacturers continue to prioritize software and management tools alongside microphones, transmitters, and receivers.
It underscores the growing expectation that AV systems must be manageable at scale, especially in corporate, education, and large venue environments.
It provides a potential path for organizations already invested in Sennheiser hardware to streamline configuration, updates, and troubleshooting.

While the InfoComm 2026 showcase did not introduce a completely new platform, it highlighted a steady progression in features that matter for daily operations. As AV systems become more complex and more tightly integrated with IT networks, tools like DeviceHub are likely to play a larger role in how events are planned, executed, and supported.

For planners, integrators, and technical directors evaluating long-term infrastructure, Sennheiser’s continued investment in DeviceHub suggests that device management and networked workflows will remain central to its product strategy.
