SENNHEISER CONTROL COCKPIT

Sennheiser Control Cockpit is the central software for easy handling, con-

trol and maintenance of large microphone system installations. The easy-

to-use Sennheiser Control Cockpit software provides a global overview of

all network enabled devices at all times. It shows all status information at

a glance and makes setting adjustments for one or multiple devices at the

same time very easy. The room overview connects the locations of all com-

ponents to their respective status information, so the user always knows

the location and status of a specific device. The Sennheiser Control Cock-

pit is accessible everywhere in the intranet via a web browser across all

platforms. As a result, the software allows you to manage even huge se-

tups with hundreds of devices with very low efforts.
