You may have heard rumblings regarding the future use of wireless systems and whether you will be able to use your current system or a new wireless microphone system without buying a license. As it stands at the moment this is the current situation.
Currently the deregulated frequencies for wireless systems lie within channel 70 (863.10 - 865.00) Deregulated frequencies are the frequencies you can use a wireless system on for free without any kind of license. Depending on local RF levels you can get between 4 wireless systems running simultaneously in channel 70.
Presently if you need to use more than four systems or can’t use the channel 70 band due to interference then you can buy, for approximately £75 a year, a license to allow you to run your wireless systems in the shared band of channel 69 (559.75 - 862.00) or you can buy a fixed site licence on a coordinated area of frequency spectrum. This fixed site licence will cost you around £28 per wireless system. As the name suggest the fixed site licence is for customers only using their systems in a fixed location. To see the spectrum availability for a fixed site licence then visit the JFMG website and enter the postcode of the installation.
In 2012, the current shared licence band channel 69 is being taken away and channel 38 is being allocated to people using wireless systems. Due to the large gap on the frequency spectrum between the deregulated channel 70 and the new shared channel 38, no system has the ability to have both bands available in one box, therefore, if you cannot run your system in channel 70 and currently use channel 69, your system will be redundant. You will need to buy a new system that runs on channel 38
After 2012 channel 70 will still be available to use free of charge. If you are planning to use multiple wireless systems we advise that you contact us or JMFG first to discuss your options.
***Please Be Awhere That A License Is Needed For Running Systems On Channel 69 and Channel 38***
EAV Pro Audio now offer a range of wireless systems that run on channel 38. Take a look at our channel 38 range here Please make sure you select which frequency band you require you system on before purchasing.
