On June 12, 2009 all full power analog TV transmission is scheduled to cease. Digital TV broadcasts will be consolidated below channels 52. Channels 52-69 (698 - 806 MHz), generically called the 700 MHz band, will be reallocated to public emergency broadcast and telecom companies. The FCC will prohibit the use of wireless microphones in this range in the near future, perhaps as early as February.
Foreseeing these changes, we have been guiding customers to equipment operating on alternate frequencies for the past two years. Furthermore, at the beginning of 2008 we re-classified equipment operating on frequencies between 698 MHz and 806 MHz, such as Evolution Wireless C range, as special order items.
There are still many systems in the market today that operate in the 700 MHz band. We are launching a program that is aimed at helping end-users to switch to a new Sennheiser system in a range below 698 MHz in the most economical fashion.
Program details: - Rebates are offered for purchases made between December 1, 2008 and December 1, 2009 on new Sennheiser wireless systems, additional transmitters or receivers (the Sennheiser Freeport system is excluded from this offer).
- To receive a rebate, an equal number of old wireless systems, additional transmitters or receivers that operated in the range 698 MHz to 806 MHz must be traded in (we will accept non-Sennheiser brands as well).
- Single components (transmitters or receivers) are rebated at half the system rebate value as outlined below.
- To be even more equitable to customers who purchased our systems within the recent years we are offering a tiered rebate. We are also offering a simple flat rebate for systems and components that do not qualify. Please refer to the option list on the next page for details.
