All 600MHz Wireless Equipment Will Be Illegal

ON JULY 13, 2020, ALL 600MHz WIRELESS EQUIPMENT WILL BE ILLEGAL TO OPERATE IN THE UNITED STATES. As of July 13, 2020, all wireless systems (microphones, in-ear systems, etc.) that run in the so-called 600MHz service band ranges (617–652 and 663–698MHz) will be ruled illegal wireless equipment in the United States. Those in possession of these systems must cease from using them or be subject to fines of up to $10,000 for interfering with licensed operations. This will be the final communication on this issue. Many of our churches have heeded the call and changed out their wireless systems in the 600MHz range. However, there are still churches out there that have not. Sennheiser, one of our Alliance Purchasing Partners, is running a promotional rebate until July 13, 2020. With this rebate, any older system in the 600MHz band, whether operative or inoperable, will count toward a rebate for a new wireless system.

You can contact our dedicated sales manager at ProAudio.com, Barry Pike, at bpike@proaudio.com or (877) 223-2221 for our special Alliance pricing. Going through ProAudio.com also gives 5 percent of the total purchase price back to the Alliance Great Commission Fund. To receive the special pricing, please let Barry know that you are an Alliance church.
