Are there any restrictions when it comes to digital wireless sets?
I was thinking of buying a Brace Audio DWG1000 but I'll not bother if it's a PITA to sort out a license for it and everything.

Thanks John, this has been really interesting to read.

Hi Truckstop,
I had a look at the Brace Audio website and you're fine with that stuff as it operates in the 2.4GHz license exempt frequency range.

Regards,
Jon

Hello there, just a bit of advice really please.
I have just put my old Trantec 1000 system (bought about '92) up for sale on the forum.
It has clearly written on it WT Licence exempt, 175.000 mhz.

Am I correct in assuming this wireless bass system is both legal and doesn't require a licence?

I've not used it for 5 years (except 2 nights ago when I set it up to ensure it still works ok) and I am unlikely to use it again.

Really just want to ensure it's ok as I have had no interest.

Hope someone can help,
Cheers,
Karl.

Did you buy the Brace unit?

Just wondered how you are getting on with it (if you did!)

Just bought a Sennheiser EW300 G3 GB system last week and it is absolutely fantastic! The GB version takes the 2012 switch off into account and I don't actually think a lot of places have stock of them yet. Cracking bit of kit tho! Now - to get some phones moulded! :)

I was just starting to play with the idea of getting a wireless bug or something for my bass and read this post, there's a lot of really good info here but it is all a couple of years old now. Does anyone know if this is all still current ? I'd hate to buy something next week and then find I can't use it properly !
thanks
GD

After this year it all changes but the de-reg (free to use) Channel 70 and the licence required Channel 38 equipment will be OK.

very interesting read, butI wonder if any one out there in Bass Chat land could tell me what would be a best buy transmitter system given the current state of play. I used to use a NADY system at 175 too, but the tansmitter got irreperably damaged by a dropped bass bin - but I was never entirely happy with the bass frequency response from these oler units - bass end started around 80HZ if I recall - not much use for my Chapman stick or Sei 6 where I get important harmonics at half those frequencies!

So do any of the newer digital kits cut the mustard whilst operating in legal unlicensenced frequency ranges, or do I have to continue wiring myself directly to main connected gear and test my earth connections rigorously (as I have been doing for years)?

All useful info welcomed.
