Sennheiser Asks FCC to Complete WMAS Proceeding

Sennheiser urged the FCC to adopt final rules in its wireless multichannel audio system proceeding, in a meeting with Office of Engineering and Technology and Wireless Bureau staff (see 2104220056). Sennheiser “filed its original Petition for Rulemaking for WMAS technology in 2018 solely to lift the wireless microphone bandwidth limit, and the Commission’s WMAS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking has been pending since April 2021,” said a filing posted Tuesday in docket 21-115: “Continuing to delay this proceeding runs the risk that the United States will have to play catch up with the rest of the world, rather than leading the charge on this revolutionary technology.”
