Wireless Microphones and Monitors

Wireless Mics and In-Ear Monitors in the UK are generally available at VHF (170 - 210 MHz) and UHF (470 - 865 MHz). There is also equipment becoming available for use in the "Wifi" band at 2400 - 2483.5 MHz.

There are 3 ways you can legally use them:

Licence Exempt

The ranges 173.8 - 175 MHz and 863 - 865 MHz and 2400 - 2483.5 MHz can be used without a licence subject to the requirments of The Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) (Amendment) Regulations 2006

These ranges are also used by other low power equipment so can be subject to interference.

UK Shared

VHF and UHF Shared frequencies can be used anywhere in the UK once licensed. The licence can also cover anyone hiring from the licensee.

Co-ordinated

Co-ordinated frequencies are licensed at a specific site for short or long term. They provide the best protection against interference.
