Interview or conversation
A radio mic, boom or a combination of both provides intelligible dialogue and a reliable backup recording.

Sound problems are best caught on set
The sound recordist selects microphones to suit the number of contributors, their movement, wardrobe and the acoustics of the location. They monitor levels and interference during recording instead of discovering issues in the edit. For dialogue-led work, this is often more important than adding another piece of camera equipment.
When it helps
When is an on-camera microphone not enough?
The greater the distance from the speaker and the more difficult the location, the less predictable sound becomes without dedicated monitoring.
Movement and multiple contributors
Wireless systems, wardrobe noise, levels and synchronisation between takes all need to be monitored.
Noisy location
The recordist identifies problems with reverberation, air conditioning, road traffic or interference before the material reaches the edit.
Scope of work
What does production sound cover?
We tailor the scope to the number of people, the way the camera will move and the needs of post-production.
01
Preparation
Assessing the location, channel count, contributors’ wardrobe and the risk of interference.
02
Microphones
Fitting radio mics, operating the boom and positioning microphones to suit the framing.
03
Recording checks
Monitoring dialogue, levels, crackles, clipping and radio signals during takes.
04
Files and synchronisation
Clearly labelling the recordings and agreeing how they will be synchronised with the camera footage.
Specialist + equipment
Audio matched to the number of contributors
The catalogue includes Sennheiser and RØDE radio mics, a RØDE NTG2 microphone with boom pole, and Zoom recorders. For a larger production, the sound recordist can work with their own comprehensive package — we always confirm the configuration before the shoot.
View audio equipmentRadio mic, boom or both?
A radio mic sits close to the voice and allows freedom of movement, but can pick up clothing noise. A boom sounds natural and does not require a transmitter on the contributor, but needs space outside the frame. Combining both methods provides greater security.

Frequently asked questions
Before you send an enquiry
01How many people can be recorded at once?
This depends on the number of available channels and the nature of the scene. We need to know the number of contributors before selecting the package.
02Does the sound recordist use their own equipment?
They can use their own configuration or equipment hired through GetCamera. We agree the scope before quoting.
03Can you record good dialogue in a noisy location?
Often, yes, but not every problem can be removed completely. It is worth sharing details of the location in advance or arranging a short recce.
04What files will production receive?
The format, track count and file-naming method are agreed before the shoot to match the editing workflow.
