SCENE 01 / LOCATION SOUND PACKAGES
Location Sound Packages
Complete production sound kits for your Japanese production.
Location sound packages bundle the key recording gear for field work into one tidy kit. Each kit holds recorders, microphones, boom poles, wireless systems, and tracking gear. Every piece is set up to work together on a real set.
We build and deliver full location sound packages shaped to your scale and shooting conditions. Our team works with skilled audio suppliers, so every part is tested, matched, and ready when your crew reaches the location.

Complete Sound Kits Built For Japan
A location sound package only earns its keep when each part is matched to the shoot.
We build packages around Sound Devices 833 and 888 multi-track recorders, MixPre kits for smaller units, and Zaxcom Deva and Maxx systems. Stock comes through Tac System and Nagase Brothers. Bag rigs suit ENG and doc work in Shibuya. Full cart setups suit narrative features staging at Imagica-aligned houses in Tokyo. Wireless channel counts scale from a single lavalier to dozens of paired Lectrosonics, Wisycom, and Sennheiser links. We scan frequencies against the dense RF setting of Shinjuku, Yokohama, and Osaka before the truck rolls.
Each package travels with trained Japanese production sound mixers and boom operators who know local set protocol. Backup transmitters, receivers, and recorder bodies ship for long schedules. They hold up across Hokkaido sub-zero exteriors, Okinawa salt air, or rural Kyoto.
A frequency form ships for each wireless channel, and all gear is checked against Japanese range rules. Our techs stay on call from prep through wrap. Your sound team arrives to a kit that is already tested, paired, and ready to record.
Complete packages serve every production type. NHK, TBS, and Fuji TV crews lean on cart rigs for studio drama, while documentary units favour bag kits for run-and-gun field work. Netflix Japan features staging at Toho Studios stages may run dozens of tracks across a large cast. We size the recorder, channel count, and mixer to the brief, then confirm the build with the production sound mixer before prep day.
We deliver full kits across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto on your prep schedule, with English-language coordination from booking through wrap. Carts and bags ship cased, charged, and labelled against the track sheet. Rates are quoted in JPY, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown clearly on every line. We confirm rental periods, swap terms, and mixer day rates up front, so the sound budget stays transparent across a long schedule.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a complete sound package?

How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can supply as many wireless channels as your production needs, from a single lav to dozens of channels for large cast shoots. Our kits use Lectrosonics, Wisycom, and Sennheiser systems with careful frequency planning.
Can you provide a production sound mixer?
Yes, we work with skilled Japanese production sound mixers and boom operators. Local sound pros run the gear properly and know Japanese shooting conditions well.
What about frequency coordination?
We set every wireless frequency to match Japanese rules and your location's RF environment. Our team scans each site and assigns clean frequencies, so the wireless stays reliable.
Do you offer bag kits vs cart setups?
