We’re here to talk about wireless systems today—a nerdy subject indeed, one that could occasion a glaze in the eye of the casual reader. But wireless systems are quite important to large-scale stage shows. Your favorite musical act, with all their singing and dancing, would trip over a forest of cabling if it weren’t for wireless systems.
What’s more, this technology must be mission-critical, battlefield tested; you can’t have your favorite band’s microphones dropping out—the audience would positively swoon! Indeed, audio problems can ruin the
Wireless microphones are an incredibly popular and convenient solution to many of the problems that come with traditional wired setups: they require far less cabling, and that means fewer issues with shorted wiring, lowered chances of cable-related tripping, and a higher number on the “Days Since Last Incident” sign. While they can be a bit more difficult to onboard, once the system is up and running, audio engineers and A/V technicians appreciate the fast setup time and decreased storage space that wireless mics afford.

The frequencies they are a-changing. If you followed the unfolding drama of the FCC Incentive Auction, in 2016 and 2017, this comes as no surprise to you. If "FCC Auction" doesn't hold special meaning to you yet, you need to prepare for some important news. Anyone currently using wireless systems that operate in the 600 MHz band should pay close attention to avoid breaking laws and proper functionality. It's quite possible, and even likely, that you'll have to trade in your current system. Many wireless mic systems operating in the 600 MHz
As stated by the FCC, operation of this wireless device must cease no later than July 13, 2020. Wireless microphone systems functioning in the 617-652 MHz or 663-698 MHz frequencies are affected by the new FCC rules and may require discontinued use prior to July 13, 2020 if they interfere with a 600 MHz service licensee’s operations.

Every day, someone needs some sound amplified. Maybe it’s just one mic for a fast-talking auctioneer, a mic and a laptop for that better-be-good wedding DJ, or multiple mics and instruments for a band hoping to get their music heard by the right people. In times like these, large-scale systems are absolute overkill, and that tiny Bluetooth speaker you carry around in your bag is no good, either. This is where portable PA systems are perfect. Here are seven of them from Bose®, Sennheiser, JBL, Behringer, Denon, Galaxy Audio, and ION Audio, each
