Audio of "The Wire"

So I just started watching "The Wire". First off amazingly realistic feeling show. The characters are intense. The camera work is very interesting and documentary like, in fashion, but merged with some nicely orchestrated dolly moves.

The thing I am most excited about is the audio given some of the framing. I checked out IMDB and found out that it's Bruce Litecky. Wondering how much of the show was boom if any and what kind of wires were used on the show (ie Tx Rx/mics), and what kind of mixer/recorder set up was used.

Haven't really checked out American Horror Show but I've read about the sound mixer in Sound and picture.

On "The Wire" I heard a few points of ADR but if there was any more it was tough to spot.

Hats off Mr Litecky. Thanks for amazing work! I'm a fan.

House of Cards mixer Lorenzo Millan was Bruce's boom operator during those years, he took over for me on the last year of Homicide, Life on the streets and stayed with him for a while. I am sure that if you reached out to either of them they would get back to you with the specifics on the gear. They did a lot of great work on that show, that is for sure.

Thanks Chris!

House of Cards is also a fantastic sounding show. I'm sure Bruce's ways may have rubbed off on him to some degree. i may do get in contact with both of them as I'm impressed with both shows and am always challenging my own ways of negotiating audio in my own universe. I love this forum for the communication.
