The FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the long-term needs of wireless microphone users. The FCC acknowledges that “wireless microphones enhance event productions in a variety of settings – including theaters and music venues, film studios, conventions…” and the performing arts field knows the importance of quality wireless transmissions for backstage communications systems and microphones onstage. In this NPRM, the FCC will explore how best to accommodate the different wireless microphone users’ needs in the future in light of the upcoming spectrum incentive auction.
