Audio Equipment

Here is how this works in practice. Audio gear deployed in Iceland must perform reliably across environments that challenge gear in ways that studio conditions never do — wind exposure on South Coast exteriors, the damp air of geothermal valleys near the Golden Circle, and the sub-zero temperatures common on highland shoots above Fjallabak. Our audio gear rental catalogue is kept to broadcast standards and configured for the country's specific conditions, with full packages ready for location sound teams operating anywhere from Reykjavík studios to remote Westfjords locations.

Here is the short of it. Boom Microphones and their associated windshields and blimps are selected for Iceland's outdoor shooting environment, where wind protection is often the setting factor in dialogue quality. Wireless Microphone Systems and wider Wireless Systems packages are frequency-planned to avoid trouble in the country's broadcasting environment, with backup channels assigned for tricky multi-talent scenes. Audio Monitoring packages keep sound recordists and mixers informed of signal quality in real time, even at remote locations without facilities support. Location Sound Packages bundle recorder, boom, wireless, and tracking hardware into turnkey kits that simplify logistics for incoming shoots.
