Location Sound Packages
Complete production sound kits for your Colombian production.
Location sound packages bundle the essential recording equipment needed for field production into cohesive kits. These packages typically include recorders, microphones, boom poles, wireless systems, and monitoring gear, configured to work together reliably in real-world shooting environments.
We assemble and deliver complete location sound packages customized to your production scale and shooting conditions. Our team works with experienced audio suppliers to ensure every component 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 every 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.
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.
Frequency coordination 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.
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?
A complete package includes 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 necessary accessories. We scale packages to your production needs.
What recorders do you stock?
We carry Sound Devices 8-series (833, 888) for professional multi-track recording, MixPre series for smaller productions, and Zaxcom Deva and Maxx systems. All offer excellent sound quality and reliability.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can provide as many wireless channels as your production requires—from a single lav to dozens of channels for large cast productions. We use Lectrosonics, Wisycom, and Sennheiser systems with proper frequency coordination.
Can you provide a production sound mixer?
Yes, we work with experienced Colombian production sound mixers and boom operators. Having local sound professionals ensures proper equipment operation and familiarity with Colombian shooting conditions.
What about frequency coordination?
We coordinate all wireless frequencies with Colombian regulations and your location's RF environment. Our team scans locations and allocates clean frequencies to ensure reliable wireless performance.
Do you offer bag kits vs cart setups?
Yes, we offer both bag-based kits for mobile ENG/documentary work and cart setups for narrative productions with more complex mixing requirements. We configure the right setup for your shooting style.
