Hi Folks,

As you may have heard, the FCC has recently completed an auction of the 600MHz frequency band (616–653 MHz and 663–698 MHz.). It is believed that this will impact a large number of wireless mic users.

If you have not already checked your system's compliance, do so soon. Most manufacturers are offering rebates on new systems but the window for rebates is closing soon.

Here is Sennheiser's statement followed byShure's:

Thank you for posting.  I'm already looking into what we're losing in our auditorium.

A question,

Did your administrators know about this? The last time this happened, albeit late in the game, a memo was sent from the state department of education notifying all schools. This time, we haven't heard anything.

Thanks,

Dana

This post was the first I'd heard of it.  Our theatre teacher recalled that she had heard it might happen from a colleague, but that was before anything was official, and she heard nothing afterward.

Wireless Microphones

Federal Communications Commission		remove preview
Wireless Microphones Wireless microphones are used to transmit sound to an amplifier or recording device without need of a physical cable. Their use provides many important functions that serve the public interest. For instance, they play an essential role in enabling broadcasters and other video programming networks to serve consumers, including helping electronic news gathering (ENG) activities at locations in the field and the broadcasting of live sports events.
