The Latest on Wireless Mic Systems

Sep 21, 2009 11:20 AM

The big day has come and gone for TV viewers, but for wireless microphone operators the big challenge is just getting under way. The long-awaited DTV transition has been made and the 700MHz band has been re-allocated but the devices that will operate within the “white spaces” that wireless microphones have been using have yet to be unleashed on the airwaves. What will happen to wireless microphone users when they are and what new frequency bands and transmission technologies offer safe haven for wireless microphone systems, in-ear monitor systems, and wireless intercoms?

This webcast will examine the final plan from the FCC in its Second Report and Order, sort out what it means for wireless microphone users, explain the difference between white spaces and the 700MHz band, and provide an advance look at the new TV band devices (TVBDs) that promise to be taking the market by storm early next year. The webcast will also provide an in-depth look at how wireless microphone systems work as well as the various features to look for and the alternatives to operation in the now-auctioned 700MHz band including infrared, spread spectrum, and others. Network control and coordination of multiple wireless microphone, in-ear monitoring, and intercom systems is also explained from a down-in-the-trenches, hands-on view including a look at one of the current wireless systems management software applications.

AV veteran and wireless microphone expert Bennett Liles will take us through the various forms of diversity reception, antennas, antenna distribution systems, setup tips, autoscan, autosync, pilot tone muting, phase locked loop tuning, and more. This presentation is a must-have checkup for anyone using wireless systems or planning on buying them.
