SCENE 01 / WIRELESS AUDIO SYSTEMS
Wireless Audio Systems
Professional wireless microphones and RF coordination for productions throughout Ireland.
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless audio systems give cable-free transmission of microphone signals, intercom feeds, and tracking audio across production sets. We set up frequencies compliant with ComReg rules across Irish locations, managing RF challenges from Dublin's tech-heavy city centre to remote Atlantic coastal locations. Digital wireless technology delivers reliable, high-quality audio transmission that gives talent freedom of movement and sound departments flexibility in complex shooting environments.
Here is the short of it. We source wireless audio systems with the channel capacity and frequency planning your production demands across Ireland. Our team handles range scanning compliant with ComReg Irish frequency rules, system setup, and backup gear to make sure interference-free wireless audio performance across your shoot, no matter location complexity.

Wisycom MCR42, Lectrosonics SRc, Shure Axient Digital and Sennheiser Digital 6000 RF packages with ComReg and Ofcom NI cross-border spectrum coordination
Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's wireless-audio bench runs under ComReg (Commission for Communications Rules) range licensing for the Republic of Ireland and Ofcom UK licensing for Northern Ireland. With the CTA seamless cross-border plan allowing shoots to move RF inventory between jurisdictions on the same shoot day. This has but with independent range scans needed for each. RF coordinators run ScannerStation + Shure Wireless Workbench + Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager across each location. With the Wisycom MCR42 + MTP41S system carrying the local cinema-feature standard (the same wireless backbone deployed across Game of Thrones The North 8 seasons.
Here is the short of it. Vikings and Vikings Valhalla Ashford Studios. Foundation Apple TV+ Troy Studios Limerick, Branagh's Belfast, Banshees of Inisherin Achill Island + Inishmore, Normal People HBO, The Quiet Girl An Cailín Ciúin and the wider feature roster). Lectrosonics SRc + LMb + DCHT covers ENG / documentary / news work with the IFB/SmartTune skill needed on broadcast-immediate deliverables.
Here is the breakdown. Shure Axient Digital ADX5D and ADX1 plus PSM1000 IEMs handle the major live-event circuit at Croke Park (GAA All-Ireland Final + Six Nations Rugby). Aviva Stadium, 3Arena Dublin, SSE Arena Belfast, Marlay Park summer festivals and Cathedral Quarter Belfast. Sennheiser Digital 6000 EM + SK / SKM 6212 mics drive feature and high-end broadcast where digital-encrypted 24-bit/192 kHz wireless is the spec. UHF range across the Republic of Ireland (470-694 MHz licensed-coordinated) and Northern Ireland (the same UK 470-694 MHz band) needs careful intermod planning at festival density.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. With the 1.9 GHz Wisycom DECT band as the clean fallback for Dublin city centre + Belfast city centre trouble. 5G C-band rollout via Vodafone Ireland + Three Ireland + Eir + Sky Ireland + EE NI + O2 NI drives ongoing range-pressure tracking. Heritage UNESCO zones (Skellig Michael + Giant's Causeway + Newgrange Brú na Bóinne) carry strict silent-zone protocols and short-range tx-power decisions. Section 481 32% relief plus 40% regional uplift covers wireless package day rates. ATA carnet through Revenue Commissioners clears imported wireless inventory cleanly.

What wireless systems do you provide?
Here is the breakdown. We give pro wireless systems from top manufacturers including Lectrosonics (Digital Hybrid, DSQD), Wisycom (MCR series), Sennheiser (Digital 6000, EW series), and Audio Ltd (A10). System selection depends on your production needs, budget, and operating environment.
How do you handle frequency coordination in Ireland?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We manage frequency planning according to Irish RF rules (ANFR). This has range scanning at your locations, planning with other shoots sharing venues, and making sure compliance with licensed frequency bands. We handle the tech complexity so your production stays legal and interference-free.
What lavalier microphones do you recommend?
We give premium lavaliers from DPA (4060, 4061, 6060), Sanken (COS-11), and Countryman (B6). Microphone selection depends on application—we recommend based on concealment needs, sound traits, and compatibility with wardrobe and talent.
Can you support large multi-channel productions?
Yes. We often support shoots needing 20, 30, or 40+ wireless channels. This has feature films, large-scale commercials, and live events. We give frequency planning, enough receivers, backup systems, and skilled operators to manage complex wireless deployments.
What about IFB and communication systems?
We give IFB (interruptible foldback) systems for talent earpieces, director communication, and live broadcast applications. This has Comtek, Lectrosonics IFB, and Shure PSM systems, set up with your production's wireless microphone frequencies.
Do wireless systems come with operators?
Wireless gear can be rented standalone or with skilled sound teams who handle all wireless management. For complex deployments, we recommend including operators who specialize in RF planning and talent wiring.
