SCENE 01 / WIRELESS AUDIO SYSTEMS
Wireless Audio Systems
Professional wireless microphones and RF coordination for productions throughout Ireland.
Wireless audio systems provide cable-free transmission of microphone signals, intercom feeds, and monitoring audio across production sets. We coordinate frequencies compliant with ComReg regulations 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.
We source wireless audio systems with the channel capacity and frequency coordination your production demands across Ireland. Our team handles spectrum scanning compliant with ComReg Irish frequency regulations, system configuration, and backup equipment to ensure interference-free wireless audio performance throughout your shoot, regardless of 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 productions to move RF inventory between jurisdictions on the same shoot day. This includes 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 monitoring. 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, and ATA carnet through Revenue Commissioners clears imported wireless inventory cleanly.

How do you handle frequency coordination in Ireland?
We manage frequency coordination according to Irish RF regulations (ANFR). This includes spectrum scanning at your locations, coordination with other productions sharing venues, and ensuring compliance with licensed frequency bands. We handle the technical complexity so your production stays legal and interference-free.
What lavalier microphones do you recommend?
We provide premium lavaliers from DPA (4060, 4061, 6060), Sanken (COS-11), and Countryman (B6). Microphone selection depends on application—we recommend based on concealment requirements, sound characteristics, and compatibility with wardrobe and talent.
Can you support large multi-channel productions?
Yes. We regularly support productions requiring 20, 30, or 40+ wireless channels. This includes feature films, large-scale commercials, and live events. We provide frequency coordination, sufficient receivers, backup systems, and experienced operators to manage complex wireless deployments.
What about IFB and communication systems?
We provide IFB (interruptible foldback) systems for talent earpieces, director communication, and live broadcast applications. This includes Comtek, Lectrosonics IFB, and Shure PSM systems, coordinated with your production's wireless microphone frequencies.
Do wireless systems come with operators?
Wireless equipment can be rented standalone or with experienced sound teams who handle all wireless management. For complex deployments, we recommend including operators who specialize in RF coordination and talent wiring.
