Equipment

Basic equipment package:

  • 16-channel mixer/recorder

  • 2 wireless packs with professional quality lavalier microphones

  • Boom with a variety of microphones depending on the set location and attributes

  • Time code sync and/or scratch audio to one camera

This standard package will cover the majority of basic video setups. For larger and more complex projects, the equipment can be scaled to meet the production's needs.


Zaxcom® wireless and recording:

I deploy the unique technology of Zaxcom® which allows for audio capture no matter how complex the production might be. Each wireless pack has patented recording technology which allows for simultaneous transmission and time code embedded, isolated recording. Here are some examples of how these features have been utilized:

  • Capturing the sound of a pro golfer teeing off while located near the hole

  • Recording Motocross team coaches during a race while also out on the track

  • Relying on the radio pack to record an actor's dialogue due to being at a great distance from the camera

  • Capturing the lead up to a secret reveal on a reality game show without leaving the crew and spoiling the surprise


Additional equipment:

  • 12+ additional channels of wireless

  • 10+ Personal monitoring devices (otherwise known as IFB or comteks) for producers and clients

  • Time code sync boxes for camera sync

  • Wireless camera hop for reference audio to camera

  • Smart Slate​

If you're unsure of the project's sound requirements, then feel free to call or email for a consultation.
