Although a final decision from the FCC is still pending, we felt the need to assure our customers now that we will take care of them regardless of the outcome.”

Customers can submit their rebate forms with the purchase of the following new replacement products: UHF-R, ULX, MX690/SLX4L, PSM700 (H3, L2 bands) and PGX.

“There has been a great deal of confusion for wireless microphone users regarding the political and technological developments surrounding the DTV transition and the 700-MHz auction over the past few years,” added Hershner. “As always, Shure has a team of sales, customer service and technical support staff available to answer any questions people might have about this rebate program or their products.”

FCC Puts Screws to Live Event Audio Industry

Scott Chester — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:42:26 +0000

Here is some additional commentary on the recent FCC decision. I think the concluding line of the article by Bill Evans sums it up best:

The future is not entirely clear, but be prepared for interference from lots of stupid and worthless text messages to start hitting your wireless mics and ears in the near future.

FCC Puts Screws to Live Event Audio Industry

The important thing to keep in mind is that we don’t know what is going to happen, but we all need to be watching this very closely and be ready to defend our uses when the time comes.
