scope:
The present document applies to wireless microphone equipment operating on radio frequencies between 25 MHz and 3 GHz.
The present document does not apply to wireless microphones or in ear monitoring equipment employing Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), frequency hopping and spread spectrum or similar forms of modulation.
Power limits for this equipment are listed in table 1.
NOTE 1: Power limits recommended in the present document have been chosen to allow maximum simultaneous reusage of frequency allocations. National regulations on power output may apply up to the limits quoted above.
NOTE 2: For higher power equipment reference should be made to EN 300 454-1 [4] (Wide band audio links).
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
- professional hand held radio microphones;
- professional body worn radio microphones;
- in ear monitoring systems;
- consumer radio microphones;
- tour guide systems;
- aids for the handicapped.
The classes of equipment given in the present document are as follows:
- class 1 equipment would normally be considered as a category requiring an operator licence;
- class 2 equipment would be considered in some countries as not requiring an operator licence.
Equipment with controls that if maladjusted might increase its interfering potentialities, shall only be within the scope of the present document if those controls are only accessible by partial or complete disassembly of the device and requiring the use of tools.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive), which states that "..... radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference."
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.
NOTE 3: A list of such ENs is included on the ETSI web site at XXX.
