SCENE 01 / WIRELESS SYSTEMS
Wireless Systems
Complete wireless infrastructure for your Canadian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless communication and audio transmission systems keep production teams connected and audio signals flowing without physical cables. These systems cover wireless intercoms, IFB feeds, audio hops, and comms networks that are key for setting up large crews across expansive sets or locations.
Here is the short of it. We give wireless system packages configured for your production's specific communication and audio distribution needs. Our team sets up frequency planning and gear testing to make sure interference-free operation, allowing seamless crew communication and reliable audio transmission across your shoot.

ISED-coordinated wireless across Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal RF environments
Here is how the work lines up. Wireless systems in Canada operate inside the range landscape that ISED (Fresh ideas, Science and Economic Development Canada) redrew after the 2019 600 MHz T-Mobile auction pushed wireless mic users off that band fully. This means any channel plan a US-based sound mixer arrives with rarely survives contact with a downtown Toronto location.
Here is the breakdown. Our inventory carries Wisycom MCR42 receivers paired with MTP41S transmitters across UHF and the 1.9 GHz DECT band — the cleaner option for TTC subway interference and dense Toronto / Vancouver / Montreal urban RF — alongside Lectrosonics SRc and DCHT digital hops, Shure Axient Digital ADX5D and ADX1 portable receivers, and Sennheiser EW-DX systems for budget-conscious documentary work. Wireless video runs Teradek Bolt 4K LT and MAX, Hollyland Mars 4K, and Vaxis Storm 2000, while lens-control planning covers Preston FIZ, ARRI WCU-4, and Tilta Nucleus, all booked through Trew Audio, William F. White, and Sim Digital with cross-rental relationships across both coasts.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Each booking starts with a logged RF scan of the actual locations. Pinewood Toronto reads very in new ways from a Vancouver Film Studios stage, a TIFF press-junket suite, or a Banff Parks Canada silent-zone exterior — and clean frequencies are allocated against the ISED table, IFB feeds, wireless mic complement, and lens control before the first transmitter ships. CRTC broadcast range is logged for any live-feed shoots. Drone audio sync runs through Transport Canada RPAS planning for aerial units.
Here is how the picture comes together. IATSE 667 / 873 utility staging covers Toronto and Vancouver, with francophone Montreal pulls through UDA-rate audio departments out of MELS. Frequency records is handed to each department head, antenna delivery (Wisycom LFA, PSC RF Multi) is configured for the coverage area, and backup transmitters travel with longer schedules — emergency cross-rental from Trew Audio Nashville is on standby for tier-one US co-productions running Vancouver / Toronto stages.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you coordinate?
We set up all production wireless systems including microphones, IFB/IEM, wireless video, lens control, intercom, and any other RF gear. Full planning makes sure all systems work together without interference.
How do you handle frequency allocation?
We scan your locations, identify clean frequencies within Canadian legal range, and allocate channels to all departments. We give frequency records and work with each department to program their gear.
What about wireless video systems?
We supply Teradek Bolt, Vaxis Storm, and other wireless video systems for video village distribution. These give zero-latency transmission allowing directors and clients to monitor without cables.
Do you provide wireless lens control?
Yes, we supply wireless follow focus systems including Preston FIZ, ARRI WCU-4, and Tilta Nucleus. We make sure lens control frequencies are set up with other wireless systems.
What about Canadian RF regulations?
We're familiar with Canadian frequency rules and make sure all wireless gear operates within legal range. We can advise on sign-ups needs for high-power systems.
Can you support large-scale productions?
Yes, we often support shoots with dozens of wireless channels across many departments. Complex shoots gain most from full RF planning.
