I have top of the range documentary kit, keeping up to date with the latest equipment is an obsession of mine.

Whether you want to record in mono Stereo (XY & MS) or surround sound, I can guarantee you the best possible sound for your production.

I have the ability to go cable free from the camera, record the sound separately to a file based recorder locked to time code, and also send two audio tracks via radio link to the camera recorder.

My documentary kit comes with two radio mics as standard; I own 4 x 2020 radio mics so can have multiple radio channels for use on location.

If more radio mics are required I have specialist relationships with suppliers of multi channel systems for 20+ radio mics.
