Shure Wireless Rebate Program

Call a Church on Wheels associate for help replacing a Shure Wireless System.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will prohibit the use of wireless microphones in the 700MHz band in the near future. The “700 MHz band” is UHF channels 52-69 (698 – 806 MHz. This band has reallocated to public safety broadcast and auctioned to new wireless device manufacturers as part of the “digital transition” occurring in February 2009.

Aside from any legal ramifications, if you continue operating in this spectrum area, you will experience an increasing amount of interference from the new wireless devices from AT&T, Verizon, Qualcomm and others. Public Safety broadcast may already be on the air in your area as well.

Examples of how this could affect you:

1. You are addressing a meeting when the presentation is disrupted by noise. This will be distracting and embarrassing. It will be unpredictable, caused by new portable handheld devices which will proliferate as time passes.
2. The lesson at your church or temple, or the vocal performance at a concert, could be disrupted by an emergency ambulance call, or by the interference mentioned above.
3. If you are caught interfering with a public safety transmission in these bands, legal action could be taken against you, possibly including steep fines.

Shure Inc., the industry leader in high quality wireless microphones and monitor systems, is offering a program to help any users of products in the soon to be prohibited bands.

Whether you own Shure products, or those from any other manufacturer, Shure will offer a rebate directly to you with proof of purchase of a new Shure wireless system in the approved frequency areas.
Please take a look at your wireless mics to see if they are in the 700MHz area (from 698 to 806 MHz). If so, please be in touch with us, we can help you select new wireless which will operate in the acceptable, sanctioned frequencies,. (470 to 698 MHz).
