What Is The Institute Of Professional Sound?

The Institute was formed in 1977, by sound mixers working for UK broadcasters with the aim of connecting audio professionals and encouraging a craft dialogue and was formerly known as the Institute of Broadcast Sound. As the professional audio industry has developed from mainly staff positions to a predominately freelance workforce, it is all the more important that the IPS continues to keep the dialogue going amongst like-minded audio colleagues in film & TV production & post, radio production, live events, games and education.

The Institute of Professional Sound champions the highest quality of sound production and sound recording in all forms of broadcast, recorded, and live events. The IPS provides support, training, standards, community, and professional recognition for our members in the media industries.
