[QUOTE="Karl Winkler, post: 40886, member: 255"] Re: Future: Wireless mics choosing own frequencies Andrew, I would agree that cognitive radio is where things are headed. The challenges of continually eroding spectrum coupled with the increasing sophistication of the wireless microphone systems makes this inevitable. I think Shure is on the right track with Axient, as others have mentioned. Whether or not is becomes a "standard" is hard to say - there are too many factors. But Kudos to Shure for putting in the R&D to bring out a next-generation product like this. RE: white space devices or TVBDs (TV band devices), don't forget that their energy is spread over a wider bandwidth, so they will not look like competing wireless mics in a scan.
