Indie Location Sound Recording Kit B

Indie Location Sound Recording Kit B hire in Melbourne. A Sound Devices MixPre 3, two Sennheiser wireless lavs, an MKH416 on a boom and timecode, built for indie and student crews who need clean dialogue without the premium price.

Kit B is the location sound kit we wish we had when we were starting out. The MixPre 3 records three channels of proper Sound Devices preamps to an SD card and runs all day on a USB C power bank. Two Sennheiser EW 112P G4 wireless lav systems cover the talent, and they last eight to ten hours on the rechargeable AAs in the bag, with the charger to top them up overnight. The MKH416 shotgun sits in a RODE Blimp on a RODE boom pole, and a Tentacle Sync E MkII puts timecode on the camera so the edit lines up. It all packs into an Orca OR270 bag with the leads, the power and the SD card already in it.

Downtime? What's that? Every cable, battery and mount is in the bag, so you walk on set and hit record. It isn't pretending to be Kit A. It's a great little kit that gets a lot of jobs done for less than half the cost.

Good for: indie features, short films, student films, documentaries, corporate interviews, music videos, quick pickup shoots and small crews that need a boom and two wireless channels.

Good to know: Want better radios? Swap the Sennheiser G4s for Lectrosonics wireless and Sanken COS11 D lavs. Ask when you book and we'll price it up. First time running sound? Ring us before the shoot and we'll walk you through it. Pickup from Footscray by appointment.
