LOCATION
SOUND MIXER
Need a location sound mixer? We can help. At Beverly Boy Productions, our skilled mixer takes care of everything, from the recording and balancing of audio in the production phase of a project. Our field sound mixer will decide which kind of gear is necessary, whether an ENG microphone, IFB coms, field mixer, or preamp is needed. We always make sure to work with top gear, such as Sennheiser, AKG, Neuman, Shure, Rode, or Zoom. We also check out the client’s desired location to take stock of the sound issues that could arise during the project. Our location sound mixer often knows when a location will have a lot of wind or nearby traffic noise that will be too much for the video’s audio. They also stay aware of what is going on with the audio team as a whole to ensure that the audio’s quality is exactly what it should be.
AUDIO TECHNICIAN
Working hand-in-hand with our video team, audio technicians at Beverly Boy Productions handle the setup of all the sound gear used for each project. Whether gearing up to film interviews with an Audio-Technica AT898cH or a Senal AWS-2000, they have it under wraps. This means that they also handle everything from replacing faulty equipment should things go awry during the production phase and help to ensure that a recording session stays on course by taking care of minor issues along the way. Our talented technicians know everything from when a wireless lavalier could work best or when a boom microphone is needed for the project. Because we want to provide our clients with the best results possible, our audio technician will always make sure to use the right gear for each project and the vision that you have in mind.
AUDIO ENGINEER
Because a video isn’t only made up of visuals, sound is so important. This is especially true if you’re trying to capture an important speech or interview where what’s being said is everything to the project. This is when an audio engineer can work their magic. At Beverly Boy Productions, we have skilled sound engineers with years on the job. Our engineer can do things like mix audio, work with sound levels, as well as work on equalization, audio playback, and the electronic side of things. Basically, our team of engineers are the ones who will ensure the audio is up-to-standard before your video is shared. They can fix up almost anything by working their expert magic as only they know how. Whether you want music in your video or simply want an interview to be heard, you can always rely on our expert engineers for what you need.
SOUND MAN
Every single project that we work on will have a sound man. This is because we know just how important audio can be for a quality video. While visuals are key to a successful video project, a high-end video with poor-quality audio isn’t going to have the impact you need. Your message needs to be shared and for this to happen, the sound has to be up-to-standard. When you work with Beverly Boy Productions, you can trust that our sound technician will be on top of the gear, microphone details (including when a boom microphone is needed) location input, and our A1/A2 will always stay on top of sound in live events. Our sound guy takes their responsibility seriously, as we know that great audio means great video and we’ll always deliver the best sound possible—no matter what. With both technical expertise and artistic creativity, you can expect the best from everyone on our audio crew, from engineers to location sound mixers and technicians, at Team Beverly Boy.

What does a location sound mixer do?
A location sound mixer, also known as a production sound mixer, is responsible for recording all the sound on set during a film or TV production. This includes dialogues, ambiances, sound effects, and any other necessary audio. The primary goal is to capture the highest quality sound directly from the source to minimize the need for ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) in post-production.
Why does a high-quality location sound important?
High-quality sound is crucial for maintaining the audience’s immersion and enhancing the overall viewing experience. Poor sound quality can distract viewers and detract from the visual storytelling, while clear and well-mixed sound can convey emotions, enhance the narrative, and ensure that dialogues are heard clearly, adding depth to the production.
What equipment do you use on set?
Our standard setup includes a multi-track recorder, boom microphones, wireless lavalier mics, wind protection for microphones, headphones for monitoring, and various accessories for mounting and positioning microphones. We choose our equipment based on the specific needs of each production to ensure the best sound quality.
How do you handle noise and interference on location?
We use a combination of techniques and equipment, including directional microphones to isolate sound sources, windshields to minimize wind noise, and wireless frequency scanning to avoid interference. We also collaborate closely with the production team to identify potential noise issues beforehand and find solutions, such as scheduling shoots during quieter times or using sound blankets to dampen unwanted noise.
Can you work in challenging environments?
Yes, we have experience working in a wide range of environments, from quiet indoor settings to noisy outdoor locations. We adapt our techniques and equipment to each situation, ensuring we capture the best possible sound regardless of the challenges.
How do you collaborate with other departments on set?
Collaboration is key to a successful production. We work closely with the director, cinematographer, and other department heads to ensure that the sound recording process complements the visual aspect of the production without intruding on the scene. We also coordinate with the post-production team to provide clean, well-organized audio tracks that facilitate efficient editing and mixing.
Do you provide post-production audio services?
While our primary focus is on capturing high-quality location sound, we can coordinate with trusted post-production partners to offer a full range of audio post-production services, including editing, mixing, Foley, and sound design.
How much does it cost to hire a sound mixer?
The cost of hiring a sound mixer can vary widely depending on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the duration of the shoot, the equipment required, and the sound mixer’s experience level. Generally, rates can be provided as a daily fee, which includes labor and basic equipment package. Additional gear or extended project requirements may incur extra charges.
