			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">Radio Microphone Frequency Change</span></span></h2>
<p>In 2003, the UK Government announced that all analogue TV transmitters would be shut off, and replaced with new digital transmitters &#8211; affecting equipment that uses these soon to be shut off channels.</p>
<p>The current home for wireless radio microphones is Channel 69, which sits just above the analogue TV spectrum, and as part of the digital switchover this channel is due to be reconfigured for other use.<br />
As of 2012, wireless equipment will work from a new spectrum, Channel 38.</p>
<p><strong>How will this affect me?</strong></p>
<p>If your radio microphones fall within the affected bands you may no longer be able to use them leagally.  You may also suffer with interference, or loss of signal.</p>
<p><strong>How can CPS help?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stagecraft.co.uk/contact-us/">Call our team</a> today and one of our team will check your equipment for future viability and advise you on your obligations to staying within the law.  This can normally be completed over the telephone if you have the transmitter available.</p>
<p>If your equipment needs replacing as a result of the change over we have the following packages available:-</p>
<p>Single User Hand Held Radio Mic System from £199!</p>
<p>Multi Use Lapel Microphone System from £339!</p>
<p>Top of the Range Head Worn Performers Microphone from £529!</p>
<p>As a result of the digital switchover, CPS have replaced all radio microphones with new equipment &#8211; compliant and ready for the switch over!  With over £100,000 worth of investment in our new radio microphones, we&#8217;ve ensured that we provide the best equipment for all our customers, as well as being prepared for the upcoming changes.</p>
