Our peace of mind package is included with all DWX purchases.
Ensuring your seamless transition to Channel 38
By July 2012, the 790-862 MHz spectrum band (Channels 62-69) commonly used for terrestrial television broadcasts and wireless microphones used in PMSE (Programme Making and Special Events) will no longer be available in the UK.
Sony Professional is committed to supporting you through these changes, offering our total peace of mind PrimeSupport Plus modification package. This package is offered with all sales of Digital Wireless Microphone Systems sold in the UK from July 1st 2010 until 31st March 2011*. We now also provide wireless microphone products in Channel 38, 39 and 40 bands.
You will be able to claim your PrimeSupport Plus modification package from early 2011, giving you plenty of time before the actual digital switchover in July 2012. Simply contact the PrimeSupport Helpdesk on 01256 683854, who will then arrange for your product to be collected, modified and returned to your chosen address within the UK. We expect to deliver your modified unit back within 10 working days of collection.
The PrimeSupport Plus package means you can be secure in the knowledge that there will be no additional parts, labour or shipping costs when it is time to change to Channel 38. All modifications will be carried out by Sony trained engineers in Sony authorised centres, so you can be confident that the modification will be carried out to the highest standard.
* Please check with your Sony Specialist Dealer.
