Special Report: Wireless Resolution

ProSoundWeb: We’re finally seeing the “light at the end of the tunnel” with respect to the long-running auction process of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and most importantly for our purposes, how it will impact wireless system users in the professional audio market.

So this is something that I have knows was going on, but even with that prior knowledge, it took me a bit of reading the article to really regain my footing on what was going on and what — in the end — is happening. The TV portion confused me for a while, but then it started making sense and has intrigued me as to how one can send more than one channel of television over the same frequency range. As far as microphones go, I didn’t know that one could alter the range of frequencies that a microphone sent over in order to develop a stronger signal. It would be interesting to learn what the author meant by “noise floor” in this context. I would have to assume that they meant a lot of other RF signals in the area; however, it is not entirely clear that it is not a loud room.
