WHAT LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE MEANS TO SHURE
We believe that the phrase legendary performance should not be used lightly. At Shure, we
take its connotations seriously and use past accomplishments as a foundation and roadmap
for the future.
We start by thinking about performance as it relates to our products, and we work hard to
ensure that they remain the “gold standard” of quality, reliability, and durability.
Equally, we are always conscious of our performance as an industry leader. We are committed
to developing products that will provide the same high quality and reliability tomorrow as they
do today.
We also rate our performance in the context of our relationships. Enabling others to fulfil their
potential drives us to provide the best service, support and training possible.
In this respect, we like to share our knowledge freely.
Ultimately, our 87-year heritage has been built on a diverse and storied foundation of
legendary performances, and all of our activities revolve around optimising and enabling your
best performance.

A NEW BEGINNING
The end of 2012 also marks the beginning of the end for the audio, broadcast and entertainment
industries’ access to the 800MHz RF band for radio microphone use, including the dedicated
Channel 69, which will be cleared for free-market auction at the end of this year. What does
this mean, why is it important, and what happens next?
The Great Spectrum Rush
Today there is far more commercial interest in wireless RF (Radio Frequency) spectrum than
there ever was.
The last 15 years have seen the explosion of mobile telephones, and then, in rapid succession,
the demand to have fast wireless internet access available on these devices. It’s fair to say that
with the increasing use of social media on smartphones alongside ‘traditional’ mobile phone
use, RF spectrum has never before been in such widespread everyday use by the general
public. Consequently, rights and licenses to use that spectrum are now big business in a way
they never were before.
In recognition of this fact, when the UK government announced the analogue-to-digital television
switchover in 2003, it was immediately followed by plans to auction off the rights to use those
portions of the RF spectrum that would no longer be needed for the transmission of analogue
TV signals after 2012. The spectrum auction process and the income it would generate for
the UK government from the highest bidders became known as the Digital Dividend Review.
A Brief History of the Digital Dividend Review (DDR)
From Analogue to Digital TV
In the past, our televisions at home have received an analogue signal. In 2003, the UK
Government announced that all analogue TV transmitters would be shut off and replaced by
new digital transmitters and that the current spectrum used by analogue TV transmitters would
be auctioned away to new services, most likely mobile broadband.
This announcement created a problem for major productions as wireless microphones and
in-ear monitoring systems in the UK have always shared the same spectrum as analogue
television.

about channel 38
Channel 69 – The Old Home of Wireless Mic’s and In-Ear Monitors (IEM)
This development was only of passing interest to the majority of people working in the creative
AV and broadcast industries (or PMSE, Program Making & Special Events) until 2007, when
it became apparent that Ofcom was also thinking about auctioning off Channel 69 (854862MHz), which had been dedicated for use by radio microphones in the UK. It had been
understood that Channel 69 would not be affected by the Digital Switchover but the World
Radio Conference in 2007 changed everything. The newly announced European plan was
to completely clear the so-called ‘800MHz band’ of spectrum (which covers 790-862MHz)
for eventual use by next generation 4G mobile broadband services across the EU, leading to
Europe-wide economies of scale for the providers of such services. It was thus no surprise,
that shortly thereafter, Ofcom changed its original plans and included both channels 61 and
62 along with Channel 69 in the auction process which according to Ofcom, were in the
interests of harmonisation with Europe.
With this announcement the future of Channel 69 was abruptly ended and wireless users of
all levels were left in a desperate situation with virtually no spectrum at all beyond 2012.
From Channel 69 to Channel 38 – The New Home of Wireless Mic’s and
In-Ear Monitors
Intensive lobbying by the likes of BEIRG, the British Entertainment Industry Radio Group,
and the specially formed Save Our Sound UK campaign, as well as high-profile individuals
and industry bodies representing equipment manufacturers, achieved some advances
for the PSME cause. Channel 38 was announced as the replacement for Channel 69 on
June 30th 2009, and is setup in a similar fashion to Channel 69 as being the only OFCOM
recognised and protected home for PMSE equipment meaning that we are not sharing
spectrum with other harmful un-licensed devices such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc. that occupy
other bands such as 2.4GHz.
Channel 38 is available for licensed use now and beyond 2012 when new 4G services are
expected to be launched in the 800MHz band. Along with Channel 38, the PMSE industry
has been granted access to the bands in which the new digital television (DTV) transmitters
exist in meaning that we can share this spectrum on an interleaved basis much like we used
to share the spectrum with analogue TV in the 800MHz band.
5
WHAT NEXT
As we bid Channel 69 and the rest of the 800MHz
band farewell, how do you know what wireless
system is appropriate to use now and in the
coming years?
What is certain is that radio microphones and
IEM systems must stop operating in the 800MHz
band on January 1st, 2013. After this date,
the 800MHz band will be allocated to mobile
broadband operators who plan on launching
4G services around Spring 2013. Anyone who
carries on operating wireless equipment in this
band will not only be subject to extremely high
levels of interference from mobile devices but
more importantly will be illegally using this block
of spectrum.
All Shure systems are specifically engineered to
operate in the UK bands to provide our customers
future proof products and as a result of the
global changes to spectrum re-allocation Shure
has invested a lot of time and resources into
developing new and ground-breaking products.
Some of these technologies, such as those in
Shure’s Axient systems, offer users the ability to
change frequencies seamlessly if interference
is detected, and ULX-D sets a new standard for
spectrum efficiency.
Understanding spectrum regulation in full is
difficult to grasp and Shure has been at the
forefront of the discussions not only in the UK,
but also in Europe as well as the United States
for close to 10 years now. We are dedicated to
providing our customers with all the necessary
information to make the transition as smooth as
possible as well as complimenting this information
with the latest in wireless technology.

SWITCHOVER TIMETABLE & FAQ‘S
FAQ’s
What is the 2012 Digital Switchover (DSO)?
The analogue to digital TV switchover is Government policy. It will mean that almost everyone
will be able to receive digital TV through an aerial. Digital TV uses less broadcast space which
means that after the switchover is complete is 2012, there will be more room for new services
such as wireless broadband (4G), local TV and High Definition Television (HDTV).
Why does it affect wireless microphone & IEM users?
After the DSO, the 800MHz (TV Channels 61-69) band will no longer be used for TV broadcast.
The 800MHz band was previously used by wireless microphones alongside broadcast. Ofcom
is clearing the 800MHz band to match spectrum being released in other European countries
(European Harmonisation). This will benefit people across the UK because the spectrum will
be able to be used for next-generation mobile broadband services in the form of 4G.
What frequencies are affected?
550-606MHz (TV channels 31-37) and 790-862MHz (TV channels 61-69).
What happens to the European harmonised de-regulated
licence-free spectrum between 863–865MHz?
The de-regulated licence-free spectrum (863-865MHz) remains untouched by DSO. If you are
currently operating in this area of spectrum, you are free to carry on using it now and beyond
the 2012 DSO.
However with the introduction of 4G, OfCom recently conducted a study on potential
interference from 4G services into 863-865MHz. The results of the study can be found here.

Do I need a licence to operate my wireless
microphones or IEM’s?
Yes. It is required by law in the UK to be in possession of a licence to legally operate radio
microphones or IEM’s unless you are using the de-regulated spectrum between 863-865MHz.
Contact JFMG for licensing information www.jfmg.co.uk.
What can I do if I own Shure wireless products, that I can no
longer use after 2012?
If your product is non-compliant you will need to purchase a new product as it is not possible to
modify or re-tune a currently non-compliant product. All operation of wireless equipment in the
800MHz band MUST stop on 31.12.2012. Usage of wireless equipment in the 800MHz band
after this date will be prone to interference from 4G services but is also legally not permitted.
All Shure wireless products are now available in specifically designed UK Channel 38
(606-614MHz) versions.
Visit www.shure.co.uk or call 01992 703058 for product information.
What Shure wireless system is right for me?
Shure manufactures wireless systems in a number of different versions that operate in different
parts of the spectrum.
A suffix indicates the tuning bandwidth or frequency range that a particular product can
operate in e.g. for K4E the frequency range is 606-666MHz.
A table illustrating all usable frequencies for the UK can be found on page 9.
Details of all Shure products that are 2012 DSO compliant follow in this guide see page 33, visit
www.shure.co.uk or call Shure Sales Team on 01992 703058 for more information or advice.
Wireless users around the world all face the same dilemma. The demand for wireless
10
choosing the right system
microphones is constantly rising yet the available spectrum they require to operate in is visibly
shrinking. Yet interference free operation is essential. Shure has allocated vast amounts of
resources into the development of cutting edge wireless solutions from entry level systems to
top tier systems used in some of the largest events the world has ever seen. The pinnacle of
this development cycle is Axient wireless.
Axient features several new-to-the-world technologies that drive a range of innovative wireless
system capabilities. Individually compelling, these features collectively represent forwardthinking innovation by Shure, and realize the most complete vision yet for the integration of RF
management and control solutions in a single wireless platform.
While Axient addresses the top tier of wireless users a more recent addition to the product
range offers ground-breaking performance at a lower price point. ULX-D is Shure’s first
complete digital wireless microphone solution and starts to perhaps realise the direction in
which wireless microphone are heading in.
Shure manufactures all of its wireless systems in a number of different frequency versions
that operate in different parts of spectrum. A suffix after the model name indicates the tuning
bandwidth or frequency range that a particular product can operate in e.g. for K4E the
frequency range is 606-666MHz.
A table illustrating all usable frequencies for the UK can be found on page 9.

licence-free now as long as you operate between 863-865MHz. This de-regulated
band is un-affected by DSO.
Should you require more than three radio microphones to operate simultaneously we
suggest using K3E. This is the primary UK frequency version that covers Channel 38.
Please contact JFMG for licensing information.
