It's the FCC's Geo-locater database. It is made so that the whites-space devices have to scan the database to see if any other Tv channel or wireless microphone is operating at the frequency. If it is, the device is not allowed to operate.So from the way I understand it, you have to register...

I was reading an article located on the BH Photo Video website (location: White Spaces Roundup 2009 | B&H Photo Video Audio ). About midway down the page, it has this statement:Exactly what database are they talking about, and could a theatre register their wireless mic's with this...

I priced a Lectro setup with the LMa transmitters and the VRS receivers. Comes to about $13,000. However, this does not include the B3's, at a rate of $160 each. Total would be about $15,000 for that setup. I would off course spread the blocks out from block 20 to block 26 (2 freq. in each...

Actually, I just got off the phone with the Artistic Director. He said that they could also do the shows with smaller casting first, and work up to high cast shows this season. That way, we could order a smaller number of more expensive units upfront, and then build the system as each show...

BillESC Good idea. However, I don't feel safe only having two bands to work with... and my fears were confirmed. According to IAS, there are only 9 frequencies available in the C band and 8 in the D band. This is not accounting for spacing required to prevent intermod... Not to mention...

Well, "cheap" is never a good way to go. The prices I'm quoting are standard across several retailers. My main purchases come from Northern Sound and Light and/or Performance Audio. Their websites are Northern Sound & Light - NSL - Call Us 866-796-6232 and Performance Audio - Your Source for...

I would like to add that I missed something somewhere along the time. According to the Northern Sound and Light website, I can get: the 100 w/ instrument cable for $499 the 300 w/ lav mic (I have checked 3 sellers, and have no found a setup with wire in place of a mic) for $849 the...

Mike, I'm still torn between the 100 and 300 series. The price difference is about $350 per transmitter/receiver combo, with the cable in place of the mic's. Other than networking ability, is there really a performance advantage between the two? Our budget is pretty much dictating the choice...

I concur. Looks like we''ll be going for the G3's with instrument cables for $499, and then purchasing the B3's for $150 or thereabouts. We would only be saving $50 per mic by using the ME2's, since the G3 setup with the mic's cost $100 more than the instrument cable.

One thing I have noticed: The Shure ULX-P are more related to the Sennheiser G3 100's than the 300's. The big "main" difference between the 100 and 300 is that the 300 has networking. The ULX-P does not have networking. Therefore, the price difference then becomes about $300 difference from the...

Okay, here is a question on the G3's. Since each of the Antenna Booster modules are specified for a range (A, B or G), and you want to run all three off of one set of antennas... How does this work? Do you just not use the antenna boosters, or do that come in at a different spot in the chain...

Thanks for the advice Mike. I will price out the systems and see were we stand. I also priced the Lectrosonics, and our total would come to around $40,000 :o. A little over our budget, by about $20,000. I would LOVE to have the Lectro's, but I don't think that will happen... Although, one of the...

Thanks for the fast replies. Now I have a hard choice to make... Both the Shure ULX-P and the G3 300 are about the same price. Both have 3 frequency bands, with roughly 1400 or so "available frequencies". However, after running the Shure ULX frequencies through the IAS software, I have less...

Good evening everyone. I'm new to this forum, and need some major help. My local theatre for which I am the TC is considering a purchase of mass amount of wireless microphones for their musical productions. They have left it to me to decide on which units would be best to use for our...
