YOUR SENA EXPERIENCE IS ABOUT TO GET AN UPGRADE

October 8, 2018

We’re rolling out a huge update for all Sena 10, 20, and 30 series products, along with our all-new website


New SENA Website

If you’re reading this, you’ve made it to our new website! Last week we launched our new site, which got a much needed facelift. Navigate through our motorcycle, cycling, outdoor, and industrial products with ease.

 

30K Firmware Update 2.0

When we introduced the 30K, the Audio Multitasking feature was only available while using Mesh Intercom Mode. Now riders can enjoy using Audio Multitasking in both Mesh Intercom and Bluetooth Intercom modes. What this means is that riders will be able to listen to music and use Bluetooth Intercom at the same time, as well as listen to music and use Mesh Intercom mode at the same time.
Riders will also be able to use the Music Sharing feature while in Mesh Intercom mode, in both Public and Private Mode. You can now freely share music with one other rider while in Mesh Intercom mode and still be able to chat over the Mesh Intercom.

The 30K is also receiving a general upgrade on the Group Intercom function and Multiway Intercom. Riders will enjoy improved and more robust intercom connections.

30K Bug Fixes

The 30K will no longer power off automatically when three-way intercom is attempted while two phones are connected. Also, the Intercom-Audio Overlay Sensitivity setting can now be adjusted for Audio Multitasking during both Bluetooth Intercom communications as well as Mesh Intercom communications.

Audio Multitasking Update

All Sena Units with Bluetooth 4.0 and above will now feature Audio Multitasking. What this means is that all Sena 10 series units can now enjoy talking over the Bluetooth intercom and hearing an additional audio source, such as music or GPS, at the same time. Previously, users would have to manually switch from Bluetooth intercom mode to their other audio source.



Applicable Firmware Upgrades

In order for the 30K to be able to use Audio Multitasking with other Sena Bluetooth headsets, the corresponding Bluetooth headsets will need to upgrade to the latest firmware as well. The products below will now offer support for 30K Audio Multitasking.
