Starting on June 12, 2010, in the United States, a number of wireless microphones (like you might use with your video camera) will become illegal. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because that’s when the transition to digital television will be complete. \u00a0Public safety services will begin using the frequencies previously used by televisions stations, and some wireless mics use those frequencies too.<\/p>\n
If your wireless microphone operates in the 700MHz<\/strong> band, on June 12, 2010, it will be illegal…as it might interfere with police and fire frequencies. \u00a0What will happen? \u00a0I have no idea, but I doubt squad cars will pull up and officers will tackle you to the ground.<\/p>\n Happily, most newer wireless microphones don’t operate in the 700MHz band and are completely legal. \u00a0But if you’re not sure, the FCC has compiled a list of wireless mics that will soon be deemed “illegal”. \u00a0You can see the list by clicking here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Or you can just look on the back of your wireless mic receiver. \u00a0It will list what frequency the unit operates on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Starting on June 12, 2010, in the United States, a number of wireless microphones (like you might use with your video camera) will become illegal. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because that’s when the transition to digital television will be complete. \u00a0Public safety services will begin using the frequencies previously used by televisions stations, and some wireless mics use […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[19],"tags":[454,453],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=977"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":983,"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977\/revisions\/983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
