SCENE 01 / WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEMS
Wireless Microphone Systems
Professional wireless audio for your Italian production.
Wireless microphone systems capture audio without cables, so talent can move freely while the sound stays broadcast-quality. Modern digital wireless brings reliable signal and a wide frequency range. It also encrypts the feed to fend off interference in the busy RF settings common on active sets.
We source and set up wireless microphone systems with the frequency bands and channel counts your production needs. Our team plans the range and keeps backup units ready. That way your sound department can work with confidence across many shooting locations.

On Location
Coordinated wireless mics across the Italian spectrum
Wireless microphone work in Italy runs inside the range AGCOM redrew after the 700 MHz reallocation. So the channel plan a UK-based sound mixer arrives with rarely holds up at a Roma centro storico location. Our inventory carries Lectrosonics Digital and SRc receivers, Wisycom MTP and MCR systems, Sennheiser EW-DX and SK 6212 transmitters, and Zaxcom rigs that record on the body, across more than two hundred coordinated channels sourced through Aroundsound, Microphone Italia, and EM srl.
The choice of lavalier capsule ties back to the wardrobe and the actor. We reach for the DPA 4060 and 6060 subminiatures when a capsule has to hide under a fitted costume on a CSC-graded period drama. The Sanken COS-11D fills the broadcast workhorse role, while the Sennheiser MKE 2 and Countryman B6 step in where the boom op needs a backup channel that vanishes against skin.
Each booking starts with a logged RF scan of the real locations. Cinecittà Studio 5 reads very differently from a Milano Lambrate stage corridor or an open-air Sardegna exterior. Clean frequencies are then allocated against the AGCOM table, IFB feeds, wireless video, and lens control before the first transmitter ships. AITS-affiliated production sound mixers run the chain on the day. Frequency records go to each department head, and antenna distribution (Wisycom LFA, PSC RF Multi) is set up to fit the coverage area.
Backup transmitters and receivers travel with longer schedules. Tech support stays on call across Roma, Milano, Torino, and Napoli. The same team handles emergency cross-rental from partner inventories, which matters when an ensemble drama suddenly adds two cast on a Pomezia night exterior.
Powering a wireless rig through a long day is its own discipline. We pack conditioned batteries and chargers sized to the channel count and the call sheet. A two-hundred-channel ensemble drama draws far more than a small interior. Each transmitter is logged for runtime, so packs swap before a take, not during one. That keeps every body mic live through a Roma night exterior without a flat cell killing a setup.
Delivery runs same-day from our Roma base and next-day to Milano, Torino, Firenze, and Napoli. Kits travel on to bases in Tuscany, Sicilia, or the Dolomites as the unit moves. Some shoots bring their own gear in from outside the EU. We handle the ATA carnet and clear it through Italian customs. That keeps a visiting mixer's rig legal here and inside the AGCOM range.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you recommend?
For pro narrative work, we suggest Lectrosonics Digital or Wisycom, prized for their audio quality, reliability, and clean use of the spectrum. Zaxcom adds transmitters that record on the body. On budget-conscious shoots, Sennheiser EW-D gives great value.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can supply as many channels as your production needs, from single transmitters to dozens of coordinated channels for large cast shoots. Our frequency planning keeps every channel free of interference.
What lavalier microphones do you stock?
We carry DPA 4060 and 6060 (subminiature), Sanken COS-11D, the Sennheiser MKE series, and Countryman lavalieres. Each one has its own traits, suited to different concealment and sound needs.
How do you handle frequency coordination?
We scan your locations to find clean frequencies and set up every wireless system to avoid interference. This covers both your wireless mics and any other RF gear, such as wireless video or IEMs.
What about range and coverage?
Range depends on the system and the setting. We set up antenna distribution and RF cables to ensure reliable coverage across your shooting area. For large locations, we can supply several receiver setups.
Do you provide backup equipment?
Yes, we advise it and can supply backup transmitters and receivers for longer shoots. Spare wireless gear shields your production from equipment failures.
