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 stays clean 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 — 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.
