Wireless Audio Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We source wireless audio systems with the channel capacity and frequency planning a production needs across the Netherlands. Wireless rigs carry microphone signals, IFB feeds and intercom audio cable-free, giving talent freedom of movement and sound departments flexibility in tricky setups. Our inventory spans today's-generation digital and tested systems from Lectrosonics, Wisycom, Sennheiser and Audio Ltd, with top lavaliers from DPA, Sanken and Countryman concealed for costume and movement.

Here is how the picture comes together. Dutch sound teams are near-universally fluent in English — the country ranks first worldwide for English proficiency — so RF planning and talent wiring run smoothly on global shoots. We scale packages from a two-channel documentary kit to a 40-plus-channel feature deployment, give tested production-ready units with backup redundancy, and supply skilled operators who specialise in RF planning for the most demanding setups.

Here is the short of it. Managing radio range is the defining tech challenge of Dutch wireless work. The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. Use of the radio range is covered by the national telecom authority, so our teams scan the range at each location, set up with other shoots sharing venues, and keep deployments within the legal frequency bands. Amsterdam's dense urban core, Rotterdam's port district and busy event venues all carry crowded RF environments that demand careful planning.

Here is what we have to work with. Filming in public space runs through the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. The country Film Production Rebates — a 35% cash rebates on qualifying Dutch spend via the Netherlands Film Fund (Nederlands Filmfonds) — makes engaging a full local wireless package and sound crew efficient for global shoots. We supply IFB and comms systems set up with the microphone frequencies. Each package is tested, backed up and trouble-checked before the shoot.
