The Separate Sound Kit includes all of the Standard Sound Kit but also comprises the following: 1x Sound Devices 744T audio hard disc recorder, an extra pair of radio mics for the wireless radio link to the camera (production sound) afforded from 2x Audio RMS2020 VHF radio mic TX/RX’s, 1x Ambient Timecode transmitter/Reciever OR 1x Ambient ACL203 Timecode Sync box keeping the 744T rushes reliably synced with the Camera Rushes and a multitude of assorted cables and connectors required to operate the complete kit.

Stereo Mic Kit

If production are interested in recording incredibly high quality stereo audio this can be catered for by the Schoeps CCM41 & CCM8 MS setup. Widely and traditionally considered to be the “Rolls Royce” of stereo location rigs, this setup is available to those who feel it would be of benefit to their production.

Miscellaneous Kit

In addition to the sound kit listed here there are many other miscellaneous kit items available such as walkie talkies and PZM mics so its always worth checking to see what is available. Additionally if I don’t have the necessary kit for a production I’m happy to personally arrange kit hire through my established and reliable sound kit facilities company I sometimes use.
