With the proliferation of wireless devices, finding a frequency that isn’t already jammed by other users can be a challenge, but it’s a task that Sennheiser is pleased to handle for you. Their new Frequency Finder is a customized live web interface into the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) television broadcast database. Now users can quickly retrieve information on open radio frequency ranges based on a city or zip code search absolutely free, and provides additional functionality and information specially customized for Sennheiser wireless system users. Given the ever-decreasing availability of open radio spectrum, it’s more important than ever to thoroughly plan and organize the deployment of all wireless systems.
Sennheiser’s Frequency Finder is the only website through which users can search FCC data without entering specific coordinates, making it easier to find the information they need. Engineers for such high-profile acts as the Dave Matthews Band, Justin Timberlake, Rod Stewart, and The Police have already tested the beta version of this exciting new tool and have been thrilled with the results. Now the process of finding usable frequencies for use with wireless microphones to avoid interference, with direct, up-to-the-minute access to FCC data and visual “feedback” of transmitter locations is simple, thanks to Sennheiser. Entering a city or zip code into the search field will present a list of available frequencies displayed in a clear, concise manner. Selectable attenuation values allow engineers to compensate for different areas, such as outdoor, indoor, or mixed environments, and a device selector displays Sennheiser wireless system ranges.
