SCENE 01 / LOCATION SOUND SERVICES
Location Sound Services
Professional on-set sound recording for film, TV, and commercial productions throughout France.
Location sound services cover the full audio workflow on set. We record dialogue and ambient sound, run wireless systems, and handle playback. From Haussmann-era interiors in Paris to windswept coastal sites in Brittany, our teams work France's many acoustic settings with gear from TSF Rental and other top French suppliers. A skilled sound team captures every part of your production audio cleanly, which cuts the need for costly post-prod fixes.
We supply full location sound packages across France, with crews based in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and other major cities. Our mixers know Studios de Boulogne well and work on location across the country. Our team matches crew and gear to your production's format and scale, so your audio meets broadcast and theatrical standards.

Production sound mixers across French locations
Location sound in France spans some of the toughest acoustic sets in Europe, and our mixers have worked all of them. They cover Haussmann interiors near the Place des Vosges that ring like cathedrals on wide blocking, the Mediterranean wind across the Calanques and the Promenade des Anglais, market vérité in Marseille's Noailles district, and the constant Métro tremor of Paris production offices on standby. We field Sound Devices 888 and Cantar X3 rigs with Lectrosonics SRc and Wisycom MTP41 wireless on production-managed RF planning. We source these through TSF Son and Cinévidéo to keep frequency licences clean against ANFR allocations.
The department scales to fit the job. It can run from a one-person hybrid mixer and boom op for documentary in the Loire Valley up to a six-person crew with playback, RF running, and second-unit utility for feature shoots at Studios de Boulogne and Bry-sur-Marne. Daily sound reports, BWF polyphonic files, AAF timeline exports, and Dehiss-pre-roll dialogue stems all arrive in the formats your French or global post house can ingest. That means they are broadcast-ready against CSA loudness and theatrical-ready against CST mix-stage standards.
FAQ
Our Sound Network
What's included in location sound services?
Our location sound packages come with a production sound mixer, pro recording gear, microphones, and basic wireless systems. We add boom operators, extra wireless channels, and specialized gear to match your production's scope and budget.
What recording formats do your mixers use?
Our sound mixers work with industry-standard recorders, including Sound Devices, Zaxcom, and Zoom F-series. We deliver in all common formats (WAV, BWF, polyphonic) with proper metadata, timecode, and sound reports that fit major post-prod workflows.
Can you handle challenging acoustic environments?
Yes. Our skilled mixers handle tough locations such as busy streets, industrial sites, and reverberant spaces. We check the acoustics during tech scouts and suggest fixes such as wireless lavaliers, directional mics, and portable acoustic treatment.
How do you coordinate with post-production?
We deliver detailed sound reports for each shooting day, with clearly labeled and organized audio files and direct contact with your post team. Our mixers know post-prod workflows and record with editing and mixing in mind.
What about multi-camera productions?
We work fluently with multi-camera setups for TV, live events, and documentary. Our mixers sync timecode across cameras and recorders, manage ISO tracks for each source, and supply stems that ease post-prod.
Do you provide sound equipment rental separately?
Yes. We rent out standalone sound gear, including recorders, microphones, wireless systems, and accessories. You can rent gear with or without an operator, and we will advise on the right package for your needs.
