If you’re in the market for a Wireless microphone, be aware of what you are buying.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is considering kicking all wireless microphones from the 700 MHz spectrum. Turns out, many of the wireless microphones are illegally operating in the spectrum in the first place.
According to an article last month at Ars Technica, the issue will likely come to a head soon after the Digital TV transition occurs in February 2009.
Low-power auxiliary stations, including bases for wireless microphones, will be prohibited from broadcasting in the 700MHz band on TV channels 52 through 69. The FCC yesterday voted to propose the ban in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order.
Check out your existing equipment and be aware of the possible changes if you’re shopping for new gear.
