SCENE 01 / WIRELESS SYSTEMS
Wireless Systems
Complete wireless infrastructure for your Irish production.
Wireless communication and audio transmission systems keep production teams connected and audio signals flowing without physical cables. These systems encompass wireless intercoms, IFB feeds, audio hops, and comms networks that are vital for coordinating large crews across expansive sets or locations.
We provide wireless system packages configured for your production's specific communication and audio distribution needs. Our team coordinates frequency planning and equipment testing to ensure interference-free operation, allowing seamless crew communication and reliable audio transmission throughout your shoot.

On Location
Wisycom, Lectrosonics, and Shure Axient Digital wireless audio plus Teradek Bolt 4K video and Preston FIZ lens control coordinated through ComReg with Audio Plus Dublin, Sound Ireland, and TVM
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless system inventory in Ireland routes through Audio Plus Dublin (the top Irish sound house running Wisycom MCR54, MTP41, and MTP60 wireless plus Lectrosonics SRc, DCHT, and DSQD inventory across Banshees of Inisherin. Foundation Apple TV+, and Vikings Ashford). Sound Ireland (Shure Axient Digital ADX2 and AD4Q paired by talent on Normal People HBO and The Quiet Girl Oscar-nominated 2022). TVM Ireland Dublin (Sennheiser Digital 6000 series cage cross-rented to commercial and prestige series), and Pyramid Camera Dublin (Teradek Bolt 4K video transmission plus Preston FIZ wireless follow-focus inventory).
We build complete RF packages spanning UHF 470-694MHz wireless mics, 5GHz Bolt 4K wireless video, 2.4GHz Preston FIZ and ARRI WCU-4 lens control, RT Motion follow-focus, and DECT 1.9GHz walkie comms.
Here is the short of it. ComReg range coordination is the load-bearing operational piece — UHF wireless coexists with Irish TV broadcast and dedicated 470-694MHz allocations must be licensed and logged before principal photography. Cross-border coordination with Ofcom UK frequencies is auto across the Common Travel Area for Northern Ireland shoots through Titanic Studios and Wild Atlantic Way work near border zones. We run pre-production RF scans across the The route, Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, and Donegal Slieve League to lock clean channels and prevent crowding on multi-camera builds.
Here is the breakdown. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing ships sealed antenna housings, IP-rated remote-antenna feeds, and weatherproof transmitter packs for wet exteriors. When extra Shure AD4Q, Wisycom MCR54, or specialty channel counts 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 coordinate?
We coordinate all production wireless systems including microphones, IFB/IEM, wireless video, lens control, intercom, and any other RF equipment. Comprehensive coordination ensures all systems work together without interference.
How do you handle frequency allocation?
We scan your locations, identify clean frequencies within Irish legal spectrum, and allocate channels to all departments. We provide frequency documentation and work with each department to program their equipment.
What about wireless video systems?
We supply Teradek Bolt, Vaxis Storm, and other wireless video systems for video village distribution. These provide zero-latency transmission allowing directors and clients to monitor without cables.
Do you provide wireless lens control?
Yes, we supply wireless follow focus systems including Preston FIZ, ARRI WCU-4, and Tilta Nucleus. We ensure lens control frequencies are coordinated with other wireless systems.
What about Irish RF regulations?
We're familiar with Irish frequency regulations and ensure all wireless equipment operates within legal spectrum. We can advise on registration requirements for high-power systems.
Can you support large-scale productions?
Yes, we regularly support productions with dozens of wireless channels across multiple departments. Complex productions benefit most from comprehensive RF coordination.
