Dump Your FM Analog Wireless Microphones

FM analog wireless presenter's microphones are a security nightmare...
and an eavesdropper's dream.

If you have analog wireless microphones, dump them.

If your A/V company uses them, dump them too, until they upgrade to encrypted wireless microphones.

Replace your info-leakers with one of these digital systems...

Audio-Technica - SpectraPulse™ Ultra Wideband (UWB)
Lectrosonics (...and an Encryption White Paper)
Zaxcom
Mipro ACT-82
Telex SAFE-1000

The good news...

Your old wireless system may be eligible for a trade-in!

Most wireless microphone companies are currently offering rebates and free retuning due to changes in the FCC rules. Some are even offering trade-in money.
