Sound Disposition

What Sound Disposition does

Sound Disposition Ltd. is a London-based sound post-production facility founded in 2008 by Roland Heap, operating studios in Fitzrovia (six rooms including a Dolby Atmos mixing theatre with 23 custom Dynaudio channels and Barco Cinemascope 5K laser projection, plus a Dolby HETV suite and three multi-function studios) and Tottenham (a custom-built foley stage). The company delivers end-to-end audio post services — ADR recording, sound design, foley, dialogue editing, mixing, VO/podcast production, and immersive audio (Dolby Atmos, ambisonics, L'Isa and Spat renderers) — for film, television, advertising, immersive art installations, and podcasts, and has developed industry-leading remote ADR capability using bonded 4G/5G and Starlink connections.

The company's customer base spans global streamers and broadcasters (Netflix, BBC, HBO, Apple TV, Sky, Paramount, Disney+, Amazon, Warner Bros/DC, Lionsgate) as well as independent film producers, advertising clients (GQ, Virgin Atlantic), and cultural institutions (Frameless, National Portrait Gallery). Marquee credits include Dune Part 2, The Sandman (both seasons), Ted Lasso (seasons 1 and 2), and Mare of Easttown. The firm maintains an in-house developed dialogue editing workflow tool (Kraken), an air-gapped production network for content security, and a 20+ year proprietary library of millions of sound effects and unusual foley props.

Sound Disposition generates revenue through project-based professional services billed on a quote basis against scope, with no publicly disclosed rate card or pricing tiers. Distribution is direct B2B enterprise sales to production companies, with no resellers or channel partners. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investment, is founder-operated (Roland Heap, Managing Director), and is paired with a sister equipment rental company, Sound Rentals, which provides specialist and rare microphone hire. Headcount is approximately 13-14 staff across technical, creative, and bookings functions.
