Equipment & Facilities
Deva V
The World's finest 10-Track Portable, Location Hard Disk Recorder. The Zaxcom Deva has already gained an impressive reputation as a robust and highly cost-effective production tool. Audio rushes can be loaded into a wide range of Non-Linear equipment at high speed for syncing and auto-conform. Each hard disk is capable of storing more than 15 shooting days of sound rushes which can be output to DVD RAM or hard disk for delivery to the Post-Production house. As used on "28 Days Later", "Shackleton", "King Arthur", "Pearl Harbor" and dozens of others, the future is here! See more info on the Deva Page
Zaxcom Mix 12
The perfect accompaniment to Deva. A smart digital control surface. Light in weight and low on power consumption offering total control over the recorder.
Sound Devices 744T
Professional Memory Card Recorder with NO MOVING PARTS for location recording in 4 Track, Stereo and Mono. Ultra compact and incredibly robust. Amazingly simple file access in Windows and Mac systems with the easiest CD and DVD burning facilities possible.
Audio RMS2040 Diversity Radio Mics
The best Radio Microphone system available. Used with Voice Technologies or Sanken Lapel mics, these incredibly small units can be hidden in an Artiste's costume with the minimum of hassle and maximum speed and when mixed properly will provide a natural and balanced sound virtually indistinguishable from open type microphones but increasing the detail in dialogue in noisy locations or where we cover a scene only in one wide shot. See more info on the Radio Mic Page
Schoeps Microphones
The highest quality microphone system in the World. Schoeps capsules less than 1.5" long can be swung on the boom, if necessary with a transmitter, providing a cordless pole, which is excellent for low ceilings, or can even be hidden on a table.
Sennheiser Microphones
The industry standard film and TV Microphone. A full selection is carried from 415s and 416s to 815s and 816s all with Rycote suspensions, shields and windjammers.
Phonak In-Ear Monitoring
Similar to inductive loop earpieces, but of much high quality. The Swiss made in-ear monitors are ideal in situations where playback is to be heard discretely by performers, but must be inaudible on the soundtrack
The Trolley
This is a purpose built, stainless-steel cart onto which every main item of equipment is built. The top deck carries the recorder below which is the mixer and below that are the radio microphone receivers. This means that everything is ready - always. No wasted time while we go to fetch and rig a radio receiver! The headphone transmitter is built in too; this provides Program Sound to Director and PA/Continuity on a cordless receiver system. Only 22" square and only 30" high the trolley slots in the back of the car quickly and efficiently.
Digislate
A standard production slate - with a difference! As well as areas to write all the usual production information, Digislate displays time code and user bits on a highly visible LED display. Fast syncing, easy to use and accurate to the frame with a time code transmitter with 250 feet range from the sound desk.
Accessories
After twenty-two years in film and TV pretty much everything you can imagine. Loud Hailer, Walkie-Talkies, Playback Speakers and a lead for pretty much anything!
Laptop Mac Playback
The best solution to location playback. Fast cueing, extremely good quality and tracks can be marked and split electronically for convenient identification and access.
