SCENE 01 / AUDIO MONITORING
Audio Monitoring Equipment
Professional audio monitoring solutions for your Irish production.
Audio monitoring equipment allows sound engineers and directors to evaluate recordings in real time during production. Quality headphones, monitor speakers, and metering tools help identify issues like distortion, background noise, or inconsistent levels before they become costly post-production problems.
We source professional audio monitoring systems suited to your production environment, whether on a quiet studio set or a noisy exterior location. Our team ensures your sound department has reliable monitoring gear that meets broadcast and cinema standards for accurate on-set evaluation.

On Location
Sony MDR-7506, Sennheiser HD 25, and Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro production headphones plus Sennheiser and Shure IEM systems prepped through Audio Plus Dublin, Sound Ireland, and TVM
Here is how this works in practice. Audio monitoring inventory in Ireland routes through Audio Plus Dublin (the deepest Sony MDR-7506, Sennheiser HD 25-1 II, and Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250-ohm headphone stock used across Banshees of Inisherin, Foundation Apple TV+. Vikings Ashford, and Normal People HBO). Sound Ireland (Shure SE846 and Sennheiser IE 600 IEMs paired with PSM 1000 and EW IEM G4 transmitters for talent monitoring).
Here is the short of it. TVM Audio Division (cross-discipline cage stocking Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and AKG K712 Pro for video village client monitoring), and Pyramid Audio (Genelec 8030C and Adam Audio T7V near-field monitor stock for dailies playback at Egg Post Dublin and Windmill Lane Dublin). We supply complete monitoring chains from production sound mixer headphone amplifiers. Sound Devices CL-9 and Sonosax SX-AD8. This includes through to director and producer IEM custom-mold fittings, with full backup headphone and IEM transmitter inventory.
Here is the breakdown. ComReg range coordination governs the UHF and 2.4GHz IEM bands. Shure PSM 1000 and Sennheiser EW IEM G4 operate in the same 470-694MHz allocation as wireless lavalieres and need synced frequency planning before principal photography. Cross-border Ofcom UK coordination is auto across the Common Travel Area for Northern Ireland Titanic Studios shoots and Wild Atlantic Way border-adjacent work.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing dictates IP-rated headphone cases, sweat-resistant IEM molds, and silica desiccant in monitoring bags for the wet Atlantic frontal weather October through March across Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, and Donegal Slieve League. When extra Shure SE846 IEMs, Sennheiser HD 25, or specialty custom-mold stock isn't held in Dublin we cross-border to ARRI Rental London or Pinewood London under the CTA frictionless border (no carnet for UK gear). Revenue Commissioners ATA carnet routes Schengen and non-UK stock through DUB, ORK, SNN, or BFS.
