SCENE 01 / LOCATION SOUND PACKAGES
Location Sound Packages
Complete production sound kits for your Emirati production.
Here is how this works in practice. Location sound packages bundle the key recording gear needed for field production into cohesive kits. These packages mostly have recorders, microphones, boom poles, wireless systems, and tracking gear, configured to work together reliably in real-world shooting environments.
Here is the short of it. We assemble and deliver complete location sound packages customized to your production scale and shooting conditions. Our team works with skilled audio suppliers to make sure each parts is tested, compatible, and ready for use when your crew arrives on location.

On Location
Complete location-sound packages for productions in the UAE are assembled from the Dubai and Abu Dhabi rental base, supporting shoots from twofour54 stages to the dunes of the Liwa Desert.
Here is how this works in practice. We assemble complete location-sound packages — recorders, mixers, boom microphones, wireless lavalier sets, IFB feeds, timecode hardware and full cart builds. These have from the deep gear-rental market concentrated in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The work happens where major rental houses carry today's production-sound inventory. Our team scales each package to crew size, scene type and the number of wireless channels in play, then preps and tests the cart so the sound department starts each day ready to roll.
Here is the short of it. Productions in the UAE record across purpose-built Dubai Studio City sound stages, twofour54 facilities in Abu Dhabi and wide exteriors such as the Dubai Marina, Saadiyat Island and the Hajar Mountains. Because Dubai is one of the world's great logistics hubs, extra channels or pro gear can be flown in fast and on set within a day. We set up batteries, media and timecode sync across the full package.
Here is the breakdown. Wireless microphones, IFB and timecode links operate on covered range, and radio-frequency allocation in the UAE is handled by the TDRA (Telecommunications and Digital State Regulatory Authority). Our team sets up frequency licensing and channel planning so a multi-channel package runs cleanly without trouble. Sound hardware enters the UAE under ATA Carnets and short-term-admission procedures cleared by Dubai Customs and the federal authorities, moving through Dubai Global Airport (DXB) and Abu Dhabi Global Airport (AUH). The UAE's extreme hot desert climate — summer temperatures of 45-50°C with high coastal humidity from June to September.
These have means recorders and carts need shade, active cooling, sealed cases and tight dust running, with fine sand from locations such as the Liwa Desert demanding frequent cleaning. The prime production season runs October to April. Sound-package hire counts as qualifying spend toward Abu Dhabi's twofour54 rebates of up to 35%. With VAT at just 5% and the dirham pegged to the US dollar, budget work is straightforward.
