Mixer & recorder
The heart of the cart
- Sound Devices 833: a broadcast-grade mixer/recorder. Multiple isolated tracks plus a mix, so every microphone is recorded separately and protected.
- Redundant recording on every job: audio is captured to two media at once, so a single card or device can never cost you the take.
Wireless
Clean, reliable RF
- Sound Devices A20 wireless transmitters and receivers: modern, wide-tuning digital wireless that holds up in crowded RF environments.
- Sanken COS-11 lavalier microphones: the industry-standard lav for broadcast and documentary, on multiple channels for multi-person interviews.
Microphones
The right mic for the room
- Sanken, Schoeps and Sennheiser boom and shotgun microphones, matched to interiors, exteriors and run-and-gun field work.
- Sanken COS-11 lavaliers for hidden and on-camera mic'ing.
Timecode & sync
Faster posts, every time
- Tentacle Sync jam-synced timecode to every camera. It's standard on every shoot, so your editor's audio and video line up automatically in post.
IFB & extras
On the rate card
- Lectrosonics IFB: a wireless feed so the client, director and reporter hear exactly what's being recorded. Always on hand and added when a shoot needs it.
- Other extras are on my rate card and added per production. Just tell me what the shoot calls for.
One mixer, fully equipped. You don't rent gear separately or coordinate an audio package. It all arrives with me, owned and maintained, on every Florida shoot.
