Wireless Audio Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We supply wireless audio systems and the technicians to manage them for shoots across Austria — radio microphones, wireless boom links, IFB and intercom systems for feature, broadcast, live event and commercial work. Wireless audio frees performers and crew from cabling. But it depends fully on clean radio operation: each transmitter and receiver must sit on a set up frequency, free of trouble from other systems and from the wider RF environment.

Here is the short of it. Our sound technicians run today's multichannel wireless systems, plan frequency layouts in advance, and scan the range on site to confirm a clear operating picture. We give packages scaled from a handful of radio mics for an interview to large multichannel setups for live broadcast and events, supplied across Vienna, Salzburg and locations across the country.

Here is the breakdown. In Austria, the radio frequencies used for wireless audio are covered and allocated by the RTR, the telecoms and broadcasting authority, and operating within the permitted range is a compliance need, not just a tech preference. Our technicians manage that — setting up frequencies, securing event range where needed, and avoiding the congestion that builds up in Vienna's dense broadcast environment and at large public events.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Filming inside heritage venues such as the Vienna State Opera, the Hofburg and the UNESCO-listed historic centres adds physical constraints on antenna and gear placement that our teams plan around with the Vienna Film Commission. Sound crews work under the Austrian Kollektivvertrag collective agreements. We advise on how wireless-system rental and sound-crew days fit the ÖFI+, FISA+ and regional rebates structure.
