			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-18" title="mike2" src="http://buygafferstape.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/micstandmike2.gif" alt="mike2" width="51" height="43" />June 12 has come and gone and as of last Saturday, the new <a href="http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones/" target="_blank">FCC law</a> regarding wireless microphones operating in the 700 MHz frequency range is now in effect.  This means that anyone using a wireless device (microphone, in ear monitoring system, wireless instrument) operating in this reallocated frequency range is now an outlaw.</p>
<p>Thousands of churches, schools and entertainment venues have not yet replaced their 700 MHz equipment and may think that they don&#8217;t have to.  The common sentiment seems to be that the FCC doesn&#8217;t have the capacity to monitor local use all over the country, so individual users aren&#8217;t likely to be found out.</p>
<p>The point that these scofflaws are overlooking is that there is someone with much greater interest in their wireless mic use than the FCC and this will make enforcing the new law a whole lot easier.</p>
<p>The major telecommunications companies that paid billions for the right to exclusive use of this spectrum are the ones that are going to make the law work.  They can simply report trespassers to the FCC and then stand back and let the government do the dirty work.</p>
<p>Since companies like AT&amp;T and Verizon have nationwide presence in thousands of communities, they will be able to quickly identify those users who operate now illegal 700MHz devices and force the FCC to take action.  Since the auction price was so high, those who now control access to this part of the broadcast spectrum will probably show little patience with those who don&#8217;t upgrade and replace their equipment.</p>
<p>Fines will be steep, particularly since the FCC can make a case that unauthorized use of these devices can potentially endanger the public.  One of the uses for the reallocated spectrum is for public safety broadcasts and wireless devices that potentially interfere with that sort of communication will have serious consequences.</p>

The Speakon, first introduced by <a href="http://neutrik.com" target="_blank">Neutrik</a> (a German company) has become the new standard for professional audio.</p>
<p><a href="http://buygafferstape.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/speakon.jpg" title="speakon.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://buygafferstape.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/speakon.jpg" title="speakon.jpg"><img src="http://buygafferstape.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/speakon.thumbnail.jpg" alt="speakon speaker cable connectors" height="62" width="80" /></a></p>
<p>As with most popular products based on good design, lots of copies of the original Speakon have made their way into the marketplace.  Neutrik has wisely decided to allow these &#8220;knock offs&#8221; to prolifierate, realizing that the more products on the market built to be compatible with their brand means the more connectors they will sell. This is how they have managed such total market penetration in an industry that always challenges change.</p>
<p>Our line of <a href="http://www.buyspeakercable.com">Speakon speaker cables</a> is designed to mate effortlessly with Neutrik branded connectors and to perform comparably.  Mitee Speakon cables use the same quality components as the Neutrik version and can be counted on to deliver the same reliability over a very long life.</p>
<p>Mitee Speakon speaker cables have locking tabs and are designed to latch securely to Neutrik panel mount connectors, whether mounted on a speaker cabinet or on an amplifier.  A simple  twist insures a solid connection.  Strain relief is provided through a spring loaded &#8220;<em>press to release</em>&#8221; tab.</p>
<p>Just like the Neutrik version, Mitee Speakons are fully shielded so that there is no risk of ever touching an energized contact.  All conductors are recessed and the connector body is heavy duty, non-conducting plastic.</p>
<p>Speakon connectors have a unique design that insure they are not switched with XLR, quarter inch, or any other low current audio cables.  They are never used on microphones or signal processing equipment, only speaker cables.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.goodbuyguys.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/143_144" target="_blank">Mitee Speakon speaker</a> cables utilize the <a href="http://www.buyspeakercable.com/info_wiring_speakon_connector.shtml" target="_blank">four pole connector</a>, even though the cables are two conductor.  The four pole standard has been adopted by <a href="http://www.qscaudio.com/products/amps/gx/gx.htm" target="_blank">amplifier manufacturers</a> that equip their amps with Speakon connectors so that the amp can be switched internally between mono and biamped.  This means that you can be sure that  <a href="http://www.buyspeakercable.com">speaker cables</a> from buyspeakercable.com will mate with all popular <a href="http://www.pastudio.net/attachments/month_0612/c02f_Guide_to_Neutrik_Speakon.pdf" target="_blank">Speakon equipped amplifiers.</a></p>
