Audio Equipment

Here is how this works in practice. Clean location sound is non-negotiable on pro shoots. New Zealand's different acoustic environments — from Auckland's urban ambience to the wind-exposed ridges above Queenstown and the reverberant interiors of Dunedin's heritage buildings — demand gear chosen and configured for the specific challenge at hand. Our audio gear inventory is kept and tested before each hire, with Location Sound Packages built around the needs of drama, documentary, and commercial formats. We supply to shoots in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and at remote locations across both islands, with freight logistics set up to meet call-sheet timings.

Here is the short of it. Boom Microphones from our inventory cover short and long shotgun configurations set for drama interiors and exterior location work across all New Zealand shooting environments. Wireless Microphone Systems are configured and frequency-planned in advance, with clean frequencies identified for the shooting location to avoid RF trouble from nearby broadcast and telecommunications infrastructure. Audio Monitoring packages — including headphones, portable mixers, and in-ear tracking for directors — complete the location sound toolkit. Broadcast Quality standards apply across our entire inventory, with all items serviced to manufacturers' specs and replacements ready on short notice when ops needs demand.
