Wireless Microphone Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We source wireless microphone systems. Lectrosonics, Wisycom, Sennheiser and Zaxcom — from Dutch rental vendors in the Amsterdam and Rotterdam production clusters, configured with the frequency bands and channel counts your production needs. Our team handles range planning, scans each location for clean frequencies and keeps backup transmitters and receivers on hand so the sound department can work confidently across many locations.

Here is the breakdown. For large-cast shoots needing dozens of set up channels, we plan the RF map in advance and bring antenna distribution to hold trusted coverage. Pro wireless kit not held in-country moves freely by road from neighbouring Germany and Belgium under the EU single market, with no carnet needed for intra-EU transport, and hire from Dutch vendors counts as qualifying spend under the 35% Netherlands Film Production Rebates.

Here is the short of it. Wireless audio is a covered discipline in the Netherlands. The Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI) covers radio-frequency allocation for wireless microphones, IFB and comms on EU-harmonised UHF range, and we set up within that framework so channels stay clean and legal — specific important in dense RF environments like central Amsterdam, where broadcast and other shoots compete for the same band.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Amsterdam's canal ring adds a physical challenge: masonry bridges and tight streets break line-of-sight, so we plan antenna placement to keep transmitters connected as talent moves. The temperate maritime climate brings persistent rain, so we protect transmitters and lavalier rigs against moisture on exterior shoots in the polders and along the North Sea coast. For non-EU shoots, ATA Carnets clear through Dutch Customs (Douane) at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
