SENNHEISER OFFERS UPGRADE PATH FOR 600MHZ WIRELESS USERS FOLLOWING FCC DECISION
U.S. Trade-in Opportunity Converts Non-Compliant 600MHz Wireless Gear into the Latest Frequency-Compliant Offerings
Old Lyme, CT – August 3, 2017 – Audio specialist Sennheiser has announced an attractive trade-in program in the U.S. region following the decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to phase out use of the 600 MHz band for wireless audio over the next few years. For Sennheiser customers and owners of equipment operating in this range, there has never been a better time to upgrade their wireless equipment.
Between now and December 14th, Sennheiser will offer any owners of non-compliant wireless systems from any manufacturer a unique opportunity to trade-in their outdated gear for the latest Sennheiser FCC-compliant equipment through a special rebate program. The rebate program consists of a simple three-step program:
First, wireless equipment owners should check eligibility for the rebate by checking for a printed sticker on the equipment that indicates its operating frequency range. If the printed information indicates operation in the 600 MHz range above 608 MHz, an upgrade is required to maintain FCC compliance.
Second, consumers may purchase authorized wireless equipment from an authorized Sennheiser dealer. The following FCC forward-compliant models are eligible and their recommended frequency ranges are indicated:
• XS Wireless | Recommended Frequency Range: A
• evolution wireless G3 | Recommended Frequency Ranges: A1, A, G
• evolution wireless D1 | Frequency Range: 2.4 GHz
• AVX and SpeechLine Digital Wireless | Frequency Range: 1.9 GHz
• 2000 Series | Recommended Frequency Range: Aw
• 3000 / 5000 Series | Recommended Frequency Range: L
• Digital 6000 | Recommended Frequency Ranges: A1 - A4
