SCENE 01 / LOCATION SOUND PACKAGES
Location Sound Packages
Complete production sound kits for your Colombian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Location sound packages bundle the key recording gear needed for field production into cohesive kits. These packages mostly have recorders, microphones, boom poles, wireless systems, and tracking gear, configured to work together reliably in real-world shooting environments.
Here is the short of it. We assemble and deliver complete location sound packages customized to your production scale and shooting conditions. Our team works with skilled audio suppliers to make sure each parts is tested, compatible, and ready for use when your crew arrives on location.

Complete sound kits with Scorpio cores and Dynamo-lineage mixers
Here is the run-down. Location sound packages in Colombia have to flex from a Cinetech Bogotá-prepped Sound Devices Scorpio cart on a Caracol telenovela stage at 2,640m altitude to a humid Cartagena exterior where each cable junction is fighting 90% relative humidity off the Caribbean. Our team builds kits around Sound Devices Scorpio, 833, and MixPre-10 II recorders, with Zaxcom Nova as the backup tier, and pairs them with Wisycom MCR42 + MTP41S receiver-transmitter chains, Lectrosonics SRc and DCHT digital hops, and Shure Axient Digital ADX5D portable receivers for ensemble dialogue.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Lavalier kits run DPA 6060/6061 CORE, Sanken COS-11D, and Countryman B6 across talent rigging, with Sennheiser MKH 416 / 8050 and Schoeps CMIT 5U on the boom and DPA 4017C for outdoor pickups. Inventory rotates through Cinetech Bogotá, 5.1 Cine, and LaBu Films, with Sonido Tropical Cartagena handling Caribbean coast deliveries and AudioPlus Bogotá staging multi-channel cart builds.
Here is how the picture comes together. Frequency planning starts with an ANE (Agencia Nacional del Espectro) check against the active Bogotá / Medellín / Cartagena TV white-space map. An on-location RF scan documents the allocation before any transmitter ships to set. ACA-affiliated Colombian production sound mixers run the cart — the Dynamo Narcos lineage and the 64-A Films Embrace of the Serpent / Birds of Passage talent pool both stage out of Bogotá, with Medellín boom-op crews handling reggaeton and music-video work for the J Balvin and Karol G calendar.
Here is what we have to work with. Weatherproofing scales with the location: Sennheiser MZW windshields and Aquatech rain covers ship standard with any Pacific Chocó booking (13,000mm annual rainfall), corrosion-resistant connectors and silica-packed Pelican cases are baseline for Cartagena and Barranquilla, and altitude-derated battery packs travel with Eje Cafetero and Bogotá highland units. Backup recorders, redundant wireless, and DIAN ATA carnet records for inbound global gear are all part of the package.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a complete sound package?
Here is the breakdown. A complete package has a recorder/mixer (such as Sound Devices 8-series), wireless systems for your cast, boom microphone and pole, sound bag or cart, cables, batteries, and all needed accessories. We scale packages to your production needs.
What recorders do you stock?
We carry Sound Devices 8-series (833, 888) for pro multi-track recording, MixPre series for smaller shoots, and Zaxcom Deva and Maxx systems. All give great sound quality and reliability.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can give as many wireless channels as your production needs—from a single lav to dozens of channels for large cast shoots. We use Lectrosonics, Wisycom, and Sennheiser systems with proper frequency planning.
Can you provide a production sound mixer?
Yes, we work with skilled Colombian production sound mixers and boom operators. Having local sound pros makes sure proper gear operation and familiarity with Colombian shooting conditions.
What about frequency coordination?
We set up all wireless frequencies with Colombian rules and your location's RF environment. Our team scans locations and allocates clean frequencies to make sure reliable wireless performance.
Do you offer bag kits vs cart setups?
Yes, we give both bag-based kits for mobile ENG/documentary work and cart setups for narrative shoots with more complex mixing needs. We configure the right setup for your shooting style.
