Location Sound Services

Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's production-sound bench runs through a tight roster of senior mixers whose credits define the local feature standard. Andrew Hardy carries the Kenneth Branagh-Belfast pairing across Branagh's Belfast (2021) and the wider Branagh filmography. Dan Birch mixed Banshees of Inisherin (Achill Island Atlantic exposure + Inishmore Aran Islands Gaeltacht-dialogue work, anchoring the production-sound discipline that delivered Martin McDonagh's celebrated dialogue mix).

Here is the short of it. The deeper bench has shipped Game of Thrones across Titanic Studios + Paint Hall + Tollymore Forest + Castle Ward + Cushendun Caves all 8 seasons, Vikings and Vikings Valhalla at Ashford Studios (longboat-deck Atlantic exterior dialogue + Wicklow river-mouth Volga-equivalent location work). Foundation Apple TV+ at Troy Studios Limerick. Normal People HBO (Sligo + Trinity College), The Wonder, The Quiet Girl An Cailín Ciúin (2022 Best International Feature Oscar nomination. This includes first Irish-language Oscar nomination), Brooklyn, In the Name of the Father, Michael Collins, The Commitments, Once and Sing Street. Stephen Rennicks (Lenny Abrahamson regular composer.

Here is the breakdown. Room + Normal People + The Wonder) and David Holmes (Northern Irish composer. Ocean's Trilogy + Steve McQueen's Hunger) anchor the wider post-audio joint work. The senior bag rig mixes a Sound Devices Scorpio 32-track or Sound Devices 833 16-track recorder, with Sound Devices MixPre-10 II for documentary and run-and-gun.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Ireland's acoustic and regulatory rhythm drives daily decisions at the cart. ComReg (Commission for Communications Rules) sets up wireless range across the Republic of Ireland. With seamless cross-border coordination into Ofcom-licensed Northern Ireland under the CTA plan; RF scanning hits Dublin + Cork + Belfast TV white space before the first roll. Wireless complement runs Wisycom MCR42 and MTP41S, Lectrosonics SRc + LMb + DCHT, Shure Axient Digital ADX5D and ADX1, and Sennheiser Digital 6000 depending on the local range scan. Festival density runs through St.

Here is how the picture comes together. Patrick's Festival, Galway International Arts Festival, Cork Jazz Festival, Belfast Christmas Markets, Electric Picnic, Body & Soul Festival and the Cathedral Quarter Belfast circuit. Heritage acoustics demand specific handling: Trinity College Long Room, Dublin Castle, Newgrange Brú na Bóinne UNESCO, Skellig Michael UNESCO. Giant's Causeway UNESCO. Carrick-a-Rede. Aran Islands and the Wild Atlantic Way cliff-edge exteriors each force specific mic-pattern and acoustic-treatment choices. Gear flow runs through TVM Ireland, Pyramid Camera, ARRI Rental Dublin and Camera Hire Belfast with ATA carnet through Revenue Commissioners shepherding global gear imports.
