SCENE 01 / WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEMS
Wireless Microphone Systems
Professional wireless audio for your Japanese production.
Wireless microphone systems free talent to move, and they still hold broadcast-quality sound. Modern digital wireless gives steady transmission and a wide frequency range. It also adds encryption to block interference, which matters on the busy, RF-crowded sets you find every day.
We source and set up wireless systems with the frequency bands and channel counts your production needs. Our team plans range and keeps backup units ready. So your sound department can work with confidence across many shooting locations.

On Location
Coordinated Wireless Across RF-Dense Japan
Wireless mic work in Japan is as much about range care as it is about audio quality.
The crowded RF streets of Shinjuku, Shibuya, and central Osaka share airspace with broadcast, communications, public transit, and rival shoots. So every channel we source needs careful handling. We scan, assign, and log each Lectrosonics Digital, Wisycom, Zaxcom, and Sennheiser EW-D channel against legal Japanese range before it leaves prep. We book them through Tac System and Nagase Brothers. Lavalier picks bend to the wardrobe brief, since DPA 4060 and 6060 subminiatures suit tight hiding. Sanken COS-11D handles sweaty summer shoots in Fukuoka, while Sennheiser MKE and Countryman capsules cover the rest.
Channel counts scale to fit the job. A single transmitter may cover a doc subject in Kyoto, while a feature ensemble in Yokohama may need dozens of linked channels. We plan antenna distribution and active RF cables to keep the signal clean across wide blocking.
Backup transmitters and receivers ship with each multi-day kit. Our techs stay on call to re-scan and re-assign if a site's RF profile shifts. Your shoot mixer gets wireless that simply works.
Wireless work spans every production type. NHK, TBS, and Fuji TV studio dramas may need clean channels alongside in-house broadcast RF. Netflix Japan features staging at Toho Studios stages can run dozens of cast links. A documentary subject in Kyoto might need a single discreet lav. We size the channel count and antenna plan to the brief, then confirm the build with the sound mixer before prep day.
We deliver tuned kits across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto on your prep schedule, with English-language coordination throughout. Each booking ships with logged frequency forms, chargers, and labelled transmitter packs. Rates are quoted in JPY, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown clearly on every line. We confirm rental periods, swap terms, and any RF technician hours up front, so the wireless budget stays predictable across a long schedule.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you recommend?
For pro narrative work, we suggest Lectrosonics Digital or Wisycom. Both bring strong audio quality, steady performance, and clean use of the spectrum. Zaxcom adds transmitters that record on their own. On budget-minded shoots, Sennheiser EW-D gives great value.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can supply as many channels as your production needs. That ranges from a single transmitter to dozens of linked 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 subminiatures, Sanken COS-11D, the Sennheiser MKE series, and Countryman lavalieres. Each one has its own traits, so we match them to your hiding and sound needs.
How do you handle frequency coordination?
We scan your locations to find clean frequencies, then set up every wireless system to avoid interference. This covers 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 keep coverage steady across your shooting area. For large locations, we can run several receiver setups.
Do you provide backup equipment?
Yes. We suggest and can supply backup transmitters and receivers for longer shoots. A backup wireless rig guards your production against gear failures.
