Formula E partners with Sennheiser to redefine the sound of electric racing
Formula E and Sennheiser announce multi-year partnership
Formula E has named Sennheiser its Official Sound Provider in a multi-year partnership designed to change how fans experience the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The agreement will bring Sennheiserâs professional audio solutions and AMBEO immersive technology into Formula Eâs global broadcast and trackside operations. The focus is clear: capture and reproduce the distinctive soundscapes of electric racing while creating a more engaging experience for audiences at home and at the circuit.
As the series moves towards the GEN4 era, the partnership positions audio as a central part of Formula Eâs wider sport-tech strategy. Sennheiserâs AMBEO ecosystem will support the capture, processing and reproduction of natural, three-dimensional sound, giving viewers the impression of being closer to the grid and the action.
Dan Cherowbrier, Formula Eâs chief technology officer, described the collaboration as an opportunity to connect audio innovation with practical application in racing. âTheir professional audio technologies and workflows, particularly the AMBEO immersive ecosystem, provide a uniquely dynamic setting to explore the future of sound in racing,â he said.
Andreas Sennheiser, CEO of Sennheiser Group, said the partnership would allow the company to explore the role sound can play in electric racing, including dynamic in-car and trackside soundscapes. âGreat visuals deserve equally compelling sound,â he said.
Beyond the broadcast
The technology will not be limited to television coverage. Formula E also plans to use the partnership to enhance onsite fan zones and VIP hospitality, supporting its ambition to deliver one of the most cutting-edge experiences in sports entertainment.
London finale remains the immediate focus
The announcement arrives ahead of the 2025/26 season finale at Londonâs ExCeL, where the championship will be decided across a double-header on 15 and 16 August. Nine drivers remain in mathematical contention, with only two races left in the GEN3 era.
