SCENE 01 / WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEMS
Wireless Microphone Systems
Professional wireless audio for your Irish production.
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless microphone systems enable untethered audio capture, giving talent freedom of movement while keeping broadcast-quality sound. Modern digital wireless systems give reliable transmission, wide frequency range, and encryption to avoid interference in complex RF environments common on busy sets.
Here is the short of it. We source and set up wireless microphone systems with the frequency bands and channel counts your production needs. Our team handles range planning and makes sure backup units are ready, so your sound department can operate confidently across many shooting locations.

On Location
Wisycom MCR54, Lectrosonics SRc and DCHT, Shure Axient Digital, and Sennheiser Digital 6000 wireless mic packages with DPA and Sanken lavs prepped through Audio Plus Dublin, Sound Ireland, TVM, and Pyramid
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless microphone inventory in Ireland routes through Audio Plus Dublin (the deepest Wisycom MCR54, MTP41, and MTP60 stock plus Lectrosonics SRc, DCHT, and DSQD inventory across Banshees of Inisherin, Foundation Apple TV+, and Vikings Ashford). Sound Ireland (Shure Axient Digital ADX1. ADX2, and AD4Q paired by talent on Normal People HBO and The Quiet Girl Oscar-nominated 2022). TVM Audio Division (Sennheiser Digital 6000 series transmitters and EM 6000 four-channel receivers cross-rented to commercial). Pyramid Audio (Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid and Sennheiser EW-DX inventory).
Here is the short of it. We supply DPA 4060 and 6060 subminiature lavalieres, Sanken COS-11D, Countryman B6 and B3. Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold. Plus full Ursa Strap and Bubblebee Concealer mounting kits. This has each lavalier ships pre-tested with backup units and spare batteries calibrated for the production sound mixer's preferred workflow.
Here is the breakdown. ComReg range planning governs UHF 470-694MHz wireless mic operation in Ireland. Licensed allocation logged before principal photography is required. With cross-border Ofcom UK planning auto across the Common Travel Area for Northern Ireland Titanic Studios shoots and Wild Atlantic Way border-adjacent work. We run pre-production RF scans across the The route, Cliffs of Moher. Aran Islands. Skellig Michael UNESCO. Donegal Slieve League to lock channels and prevent crowding on multi-camera dialogue-heavy builds (Banshees-style 8-12 lavalier configurations).
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing ships sealed transmitter packs, Ursa weatherproof straps, sweat-resistant lav mounts, and silica desiccant kits for the wet Atlantic frontal weather October through March. When extra Shure AD4Q or Wisycom MCR54 receivers aren'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.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you recommend?
For pro narrative work, we recommend Lectrosonics Digital or Wisycom for their audio quality, reliability, and spectral efficiency. Zaxcom gives recording-capable transmitters. For budget-conscious shoots, Sennheiser EW-D gives great value.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can give as many channels as your production needs—from single transmitters to dozens of set up channels for large cast shoots. Our frequency planning makes sure all channels operate without interference.
What lavalier microphones do you stock?
We carry DPA 4060 and 6060 (subminiature), Sanken COS-11D, Sennheiser MKE series, and Countryman lavalieres. Each has different traits suited to many concealment and sound needs.
How do you handle frequency coordination?
We scan your locations to identify clean frequencies and set up all wireless systems to avoid interference. This has both your wireless mics and any other RF gear like wireless video or IEMs.
What about range and coverage?
Range depends on the system and environment. We configure antenna distribution and RF cables to make sure reliable coverage for your shooting area. For large locations, we can give many receiver setups.
Do you provide backup equipment?
Yes, we recommend and can give backup transmitters and receivers for longer shoots. Having backup wireless protects your production against gear failures.
