662–698 MHz

[Bailey, Ernest L]

There have been rumors that the FCC was going to auction the 662–698 MHz range and leave us AV folks with more illegal wireless microphones (e.g. Shure ULX M1). Does anyone know if/when this is supposed to happen?

Ernie,

Nothing final yet.  But stay tuned, looking like Mid 2015 at the moment.

I think it is a rumor at this point but a Strong rumor. I would equate this with "legal" piracy! Shouldn't the federal government at least give rebates towards modifying equipment? It cost us a bundle last time!

Not rumor, fact.

And there are discussions about compensation for wireless users who get
booted out.

The diagram on page 5 of the PDF I linked below shows the entire 600mhz
band (608-698Mhz) is affected, not just the band in the subject line of
this thread.

Harry

[Wilson, Dennis]

To your point.

"I believe we can conduct a successful auction in the middle of 2015. To achieve that goal, there will be a number of important milestones along the way. The Task Force will provide more details about the timeline and milestones in a presentation at the January 2014 Commission meeting."

I have not seen any transcripts from the January Commision meeting.

I do know it will cost us a bundle.

Well this is poor way of managing spectrums, we just updated our system to be below 700Mhz,  I this the licensing should pay for all systems to be updated to the spectrum we are all put in.

 

This is real, and a real pain point.

In the not-to-distant future, all live performers will simply sing or
deliver lines into their iPhones, using Bluetooth earbud mics. Problem
solved.

Regarding Shure, we'd been forewarned to try to stay in the J1 band which keeps us below 600MHz.  Just lucky that we listened I suppose, though no doubt the 500 band will become more crowded going forward.

It's a bit concerning however that their newer "D" series mics even offer bands partially above 600MHz despite knowledge of future restraints. 

Perhaps this whole situation has contributed to the frequency allocation of their new Microflex wireless program, 1920-1930 MHz fraught with its own impending intrusions.  "Hey honey, did you shut off that baby monitor?"

I once came across a comment on the interwebs that said something like:

"The best designed, best engineered, best manufactured, best implemented and best maintained wireless system is almost as good as a cable."

Gonna be kinda hard to convince people to go back to wired microphones in the lecture theatre, though! Maybe this will lead to a dramatic increase in the number of IR systems being bought. As far as I know, you can't license certain colours of light, although it and radio are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The best designed, best engineered, best manufactured, best implemented

and best maintained infra-red wireless system is almost as good as
semaphore.

Harry

[Bailey, Ernest L]

Both IR and semaphore require constant eye-contact!
