Location Sound Packages

Here is how this works in practice. Location sound packages in Peru come together through a small group of trusted Lima suppliers — Audiovisual Project Perú's audio division, El Niño Rentals, Sound Service Perú, Audio Pro Perú, and the personal carts of senior Peruvian production sound mixers who own their core recording rigs.

Here is the short of it. A standard narrative bag-kit pulls a Sound Devices 833 or 888 multi-track recorder, four to eight Lectrosonics SRc or SMQV wireless channels with DPA 4060 or Sanken COS-11D lavalier capsules, a Sennheiser MKH 416 boom rig on a K-Tek pole with Rycote Cyclone windscreen, and Wisycom MCR54 receivers for the long-range work that Sacred Valley altitude exteriors and Amazon canopy interiors demand. Larger productions step up to Zaxcom Nova or Maxx cart configurations with twenty-plus wireless channels set up for ensemble drama. Every kit is prepped at the Lima rental house, frequency-scanned for the shoot location, and delivered with spare batteries, replacement lavs, and the consumables a recordist burns through across a two-week schedule.

Here is the breakdown. Our team handles the MTC frequency licensing — Peru's Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones needs permits for high-power wireless and dense channel counts — and sets up the range alongside any wireless video, IFB, or comms also running on set. Recording media, NP1 batteries, sled chargers, and the Lectrosonics SRc dual-channel slot adaptors travel with each package, and Peruvian sound mixers trained alongside DPs like Inti Briones, Mario Bassino, and Roberto Maceda Kohatsu can be booked with the gear so the chain arrives staffed.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Bag-kit configurations ship for ENG and documentary work across Iquitos, Tambopata, and the Andean highlands, while cart setups stay with scripted productions working out of Tondero Studios or extended location bases in Cusco. Technical support runs throughout the shoot day. Backup recorders, wireless transmitters, and boom capsules stay ready across the schedule.
