OK, I see my last technically informational post was deleted. So I'll just mention that if anyone wants to dump their "useless" mics, send them to me.

I find it surprising that the post was deleted. It was factual, with a smattering of common sense. I ws never even informed. New for this forum.

Joe,
Your post was not deleted. It is right here: Our DJ Talk - DJ Help and Resources Chat! - View Single Post - White Space Plan Would Reuse TV Spectrum.
There are two very similar threads on this topic and you posted in the other one.

Missed yer last post Joe, in fact, I haven't been really following this thread.


Personally, I don't see what the big deal is -- wireless mics don't have enough power to interfere with much, and unless yer outside next to a broadcast antenna, they probably won't bother you either...

Unless the minor technicality of being illegal bothers ya ( like I really wear a seat belt all the time, and have never turned on my jammers ) -- no biggie IMHO

All of mine are still working just fine!

And will continue to do so on any clear channel as long as you take care of them.....

 

[dj john]

might be a good idea to try mine out then I have an older sm58 and some newer nady's I cann't remember the frequency it would be horrible to set up at a karaoke show and have them not work

It's not that they wont work but more like, will there be interferance whe I turn them on. It's not like the FCC has put a block on the frequencies and they wont transmit and recieve like some sci-fi thriller movie.... it's just simply that other more powerful transmitters may be on those frequencies soon if they aren't already.

If you are unsure carry some wired mics just to be sure you can continue your show without disruption if their should be a problem using wireless.

 

[dj john]

I always have wired mics with me but wireless is just easier and more popular with the singers

 

[Ausumm]

Has anyone here actually experienced this problem as yet?
I haven't!

 

[Esoteric]

I have.

Multi or single channel mic, and what interfered with you? Was it an EMS quickie, or is there a new permanent station in your area?

 

[eezee]

Ive been trying to follow this thread.

Can someone clear up what is safe to buy? Sorry if its been said already.

Multi, and that was 2 months BEFORE the switchover. All my clients made the switch at least 2 weeks in advance of the switchover. But now some of them are having an issue now that the last minute stragglers are switching over.

If I understand you correctly, ALL channels of your Multi are used full time by major transmitters? TV? Radio?
