Okay,
So with the White space issue scaring the crap out of everyone who works in the industry what is a good wireless unit that offers up to 12 channels at same time and costs $500-900 per unit?
We regularly use Shure ULXP and love them. However, I have 4 units to put in (in theory they might rent in 8 more at any given event) and I haven't bought a wireless in over 2.5 years. Now that the proverbial snake is nearly in front of all of us, what are installers using that looks to be a pretty good bet based on the sold-off band widths? I love my ULXPs and would like to stick with them for compatibility but I need to make sure we have pretty reliable wireless bottom line. This isn't being put in a major met area so we've got that working for us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Grayson

I can't address the quality or performance issues of the Shure models you're interested in, but as far as the frequency bands are concerned, just stay below 698MHz and you'll be fine, local re-allocated [D]TV stations notwithstanding.

The ULXP is below the 698MHz threshold that you need to worry about currently.
J1 Band is 554-590
M1 Band is 662-698
For interoperability between transmitters an receivers it is nice to have them all be the same band. This also enables you to minimize problems with intermodulation (so long as you use the same group on all transmitters).
You might find that Shure's Wireless Workbench software can help you to find the best set of frequencies for your area and work well together. You can even use their software to coordinate other wireless devices. I.E. Other brand mics, wireless comm, wireless in ears, etc.
I would also take a look at the RE2 wireless from EV, especially if you use it for guitars. Great price/performance from these guys.
