Nick of Mister Photon Media adds new audio gear for location sound
(720) 299-2084 

I have recently added two more pairs of Sennheiser AVX100 wireless systems, as well tentacle lockit boxes for wireless time code sync. These pieces of gear expand my capabilities to make shoots easier for wireless uses, as well for time code sync without cable dependency. The AVX100 can be used for wireless, as well my larger inventory of Sennheiser, as well as, Lectrosonics wireless pending client preferences, locations and ideal conditions.

I’ve added more lighting & grip equipment pieces as well

I’ve added some flags, one apple box, some 4×4’s in 1/2 and 1/4 silks, one 4×4 frame, among some other odds and ends. If you’re traveling into Colorado by plane or other means that does not allow the gear you would like to bring, I have additional equipment like tripods, lighting, monitors, cables and grip gear.

Here is a link to my complete equipment list as well.

Professional Sound Mixers & Recorders

  • Sound Devices 552 ENG/EFP audio mixer & recorder with 2 channel recording.
  • Sound Devices 664 Mixer Recorder with 6 dedicated solo XLR inputs, with other inputs as well. This can record up to 16 tracks, but 6 are assigned XLR dedicated the other connections are non XLR connections.
  • Tascam HS-P82 Mixer Recorder – Having 8 dedicated split inputs, this is a very high end digital audio recorder / mixer for ENG, EFP, film or video production. This mixer recorder has 8 inputs, 2 outputs and digital audio recording, filtering and mixing up to 10 tracks along with time code embedded from a device or to slave several devices like several different cameras or other I/O recorders. Read more below about this mixer / recorder. This mixer has advantages of the Sound Devices 552 and 664 mixer/recorders and is comparable in features with a Zaxcomm Diva 8 or a Sound Devices 788T mixer/recorder because of the separate XLR inputs that do not require routing or adapted cables. For any audio mixing and recording requiring more than 2 tracks or with time code, this is the machine I use to fulfill the responsibilities or more demanding location sound. It also has adjustable low cut roll off, phase assignments, sample rates to 196k, among other useful features.
  • Marantz 660 – a digital flash recorder – records to PCM or MP3 formats. This can also be used to recorded time code format MP3 files or WAV format. This can be used as a primary or backup recorder, however the list above is a better choice for versatility.
  • Tascam DR100 Mark II – A very versatile portable & capable mixer for 2-4 track recording. I can record wav or MP3 format files with higher sampling rates, as well WAV, including with time code with adapters. This recorder can be used as a primary or backup recorder, however the list above is a better choice for versatility.
  • PSC AlphaMix – a 4 channel ENG/EFP audio mixer with several outputs.
  • Mackie 1404 & 1202 VLZ sound mixers with 8 inputs, EQ among other features. If you are sitting a place with power and need more control over EQ and gain, this would be the ticket.
