Wireless mics that use 614-698 MHz frequencies (with a few very narrow exceptions - see * below) will need to be replaced by July, 2020. If your wireless mic is within this auctioned frequency (600MHz), you will need to replace it soon (and sooner than later if you are in the NY Metropolitan area). The auction of this band was done to meet the demand resulting from the proliferation of cell phones in the US. The FCC auctioned off a frequency bandwidth this past April – one that had been used by TV stations and many wireless mics.
Some wireless microphones (mics) currently in use will soon be illegal to operate.
