Overview of RSS-123, Edition 5
The Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-123, Edition 5, delineates the requisite criteria for the validation of wireless microphones and Wireless Multichannel Audio Systems (WMAS) operating within designated frequency spectra. This specification incorporates newly introduced mandates pertaining to WMAS operation within specified frequency bands, alongside updated citations referencing ETSI EN 300 422-1, coupled with editorial enhancements and elucidations.
Conversely, the directive delineates transmission prerequisites encompassing transmitter power constraints, authorized frequency ranges, bandwidth specifications, and frequency stability thresholds for both wireless microphones and WMAS.
Moreover, supplementary stipulations pertaining to labeling requisites are outlined, particularly targeting FM transmitters operating within the 88-107.5 MHz frequency range. These necessitate a prescribed statement to be either integrated within the user manual or affixed to a label.
RSS-123, Edition 5, serves as the authoritative framework governing the certification of licensed wireless microphones and WMAS, with applicability contingent upon specific frequency allocations. Encompassing wireless microphones, wireless multichannel audio systems, and, under prescribed circumstances, FM transmitters, this RSS mandates compliance with general, certification, licensing, and transmitter prerequisites. Furthermore, it furnishes comprehensive elucidations of terminologies utilized therein, delineates labeling and user manual criteria, and provides normative references for adherence.
This updated iteration supersedes its predecessor, RSS-123, Edition 4, incorporating enhancements such as augmented mandates for WMAS operation within designated frequency bands, expanded terminological definitions, revised references to ETSI EN 300 422-1, updated criteria concerning unwanted emissions from wireless microphones, and editorial refinements aimed at enhancing clarity and coherence.
