Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888- CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones. |

To operate wireless microphone systems at power greater than 50mW, you must qualify as a Part 74 user and be licensed. NOTE – This has not changed at all and has been in effect for over 20 years. If you qualify and wish to apply for a license go to: http://www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form601/601.html Look under BROADCAST AUXILIARY – Land Mobile (Part 74) You will need forms FCC 601 Schedule d and Schedule H From the FCC docket 10-16 – Page 7 – 10. Under Section 74.832, only certain entities may be issued licenses authorizing the use of low power auxiliary stations. In particular, these entities fall within the following categories: (1) licensees of AM, FM, TV, or International broadcast stations or low power TV stations; (2) broadcast network entities; (3) certain cable television system operators; (4) motion picture and television program producers as defined in the rules; and (5) certain entities with specified interests in Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and Educational Broadcast Service (EBS) licenses, i.e., BRS licensees (formerly licensees and conditional licensees of stations in the Multipoint Distribution Service and Multi-channel Multipoint Distribution Service), or entities that hold an executed lease agreement with a BRS licensee or conditional licensee or entities that hold an executed lease agreement with an Educational Broadcast Service (formerly Instructional Television Fixed Service) licensee or permittee.25 Cable television operations, motion picture and television program producers may be authorized to operate low power auxiliary stations only in the bands allowed for TV broadcasting.26 All classes of broadcast auxiliary stations provided for in Subpart H, except wireless video assist devices (WVADs), may be operated on a short term basis under the authority conveyed by a Part 73 license or a broadcast auxiliary license without prior authorization, subject to conditions. |
Neumann just released their new TLM102 Studio Recording Microphone. This microphone is to be seen as the “little brother” to the TLM103. It has an overall reduced size, but retains great Neumann components and is designed to be used in various applications. Having a maximum sound pressure of level of 144db, it can easily be used to mic up a guitar cab, drums or any loud percussion you might have. But don’t let that deter you from using it for vocals, which has great presence from the mic’s slight boost at 6kHz. Being that this is the little brother to the TLM103, the price is little as well, starting at just less than $900 MSRP. We just got them in stock, so come check them out at both locations.
