In light of the pending spectrum auction, Sennheiser says the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should retain two blocks of clean UHF for hypercritical mics and ear monitors, and mic owners should receive compensation as a result of spectrum repacking. The company encourages microphone owners to write to the FCC before November 12th, 2014, and is offering to help with any filing or procedural requirements.
