Even Our Competitors Agree
      Shure:
“…the FCC has ruled that wireless microphones may continue to use all presently unoccupied TV channels until the end of the DTV transition."
“Wireless microphones may continue to operate on all of these frequencies, just as they do now. However, wireless microphones that operate on frequencies above 698 MHz should not be used after February 19, 2009.”

Professional audio journals are full of dire warnings about these changes. With so many UHF microphones in use in the 700 MHz band, the situation is at the top of people's minds who may have to replace many channels of wireless mics.

The mainstream press is also hot on this issue, especially the impact on people who rely on broadcast TV. Perhaps the most interesting change will be all those cool new devices waiting to use this new piece of RF spectrum.

  The End of UHF Microphones?
The world of wireless microphones will change dramatically as the new FCC rules take effect on February 17, 2009. Even if the government opens a few UHF frequencies at the last minute, everyone agrees that the number of clear channels will be severely restricted and even more crowded than they are today. Fortunately there is a solution. Sabine has been perfecting professional wireless systems that operate entirely outside of the UHF band since the FCC announced these changes six years ago.
