Mike Wireless 03/23/11 08:20 AM, 2 CommentsThe SpectraPulse wireless microphone system from Audio-Technica is one of the more interesting products to enter the market. It was announced about two years ago and appears aimed mostly at installed sound applications, specifically boardrooms and courtrooms where operating range is not so much the issue, but data security and ease of use are important. The system represents a fresh approach in its form factor, technology and performance, when compared to “traditional” wireless microphone systems. It is my understanding that… View this story

Mike Wireless 06/10/09 11:03 AM, 2 CommentsThe MIPRO ACT Digital wireless system has been on the market for a couple of years, and like the AKG DMS 700 digital wireless system, it uses the same UHF bandwidth we’re all familiar with when using any UHF-band microphones. (Note that the “D” in “Digital” for this MIPRO system is capitalized because it is part of the official product name, rather than the generic system name.) Specifically, the MIPRO ACT Digital covers 620–692 MHz – fairly close to the… View this story

Mike Wireless 06/04/09 12:09 PM, 2 CommentsA number of manufacturers have introduced new wireless microphone systems in the past two years – many of them in response to the changes in the RF spectrum brought about by the FCC. As a result, I thought it would be interesting to provide an in-depth look at a number of these recently introduced systems, beginning here with the AKG DMS 700 digital wireless system, which was announced at NAMM in January of this year. Professional caliber digital wireless systems… View this story

PSW Staff 06/01/09 08:33 AM, 1 CommentSabine is now shipping SWM6000 Smart Spectrum wireless microphone systems that operate in the 915 MHz ISM band, which is license-free and available for use in North and South America. Because the 902 to 928 MHz ISM band is outside the range of frequencies that have been allocated for consumer wireless products and broadcast digital television (DTV), wireless users will be able to use all available channels in the band without interference from DTV or other UHF devices. SWM6000 Smart… View this story

Mike Wireless 05/27/09 12:21 PM, 3 CommentsOne of the more common phone calls I’ve been receiving lately is from people looking for advice on which frequency bands to choose for their new wireless systems. Maybe it’s all of the tours going out, or maybe people are finally getting the message about the spectrum changes and they want to “do the right thing”. I’ve certainly noticed that quite a few systems proliferating the market in the last 10 years fall within the “700 MHz band” (between 698-806… View this story
