Now let's talk about the sound package. The cameraman usually supplies the sound equipment
for the sound person. First of all, we have a mixer. The mixer is used by the soundman
to monitor the audio that is being collected. He can adjust the audio - especially within
interviews or where you have multiple interviews going on at the same time - he can adjust
the levels that are recorded going in to the camera. Now let's take a look at the wireless
microphone system. The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. Generally a
receiver is mounted on the camera and the transmitter is mounted with the mixer. The
receiver has a cable that runs from it to an input on the camera. This enables the sound
person to move independently from the camera person without a hard wire connecting the
two. Love microphones. There are many different brands on the market. They are small which
allows them to be hidden. They are either hardwired or used in conjunction with a wireless
microphone system to the mixer.
