SCENE 01 / LOCATION SOUND PACKAGES
Location Sound Packages
Complete production sound kits for your French 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 location sound packages for French productions
Here is how this works in practice. A location sound package shipping out of Paris has to expect the day's actual conditions — a narrative dialogue scene inside a Haussmann apartment near Bastille, a moving-car dialogue rig on the A6 south of Lyon, a documentary interview in a Bordeaux winery, or a multi-cast reality shoot on the Côte d'Azur. We build complete kits around Sound Devices 833 and 888 recorders, Lectrosonics Digital and Wisycom wireless, DPA 4060 and Sanken COS-11D lavs, and a matched boom chain, sourced through TSF, RVZ, and Loca-Images so prep, swaps, and cross-rentals all stay inside the same Paris logistics loop.
Here is the short of it. Our team works with skilled French production sound mixers and boom operators who know how to handle ANFR frequency rules and the dense RF environment of Paris locations like La Défense. We supply cart-based rigs for narrative features at Cité du Cinéma and bag-based kits for ENG and documentary days across Provence, Marseille, or Toulouse, with full frequency planning, backup transmitters, and spare media for each channel count. Each kit lands tested, labelled, and ready to roll on the first slate of day one.
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 French production sound mixers and boom operators. Having local sound pros makes sure proper gear operation and familiarity with French shooting conditions.
What about frequency coordination?
We set up all wireless frequencies with French 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.
