BAB414 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Anyone see this new reality/competition show on Netflix? 1st episode they have 100 contestants in a room, everyone is miked up. I was wondering how they could coordinate so many frequencies and which wireless they were using. I also wondered how they were mixing, routing, and tracking everything and which lavs (the necklace mics) they were using. Then in the first competition, it's 50 people at a time, hanging from a grid. Then they each fall into a pool. The mic gets wet but again I was wondering which transmitters they were using and how they were protecting them. Anyone have any info about the sound team and how they did what they did? They also have dozens if not more of go-pro's to sync as well as studio cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I've worked on Broadway-style shows and events with that many wirelesses: we had a wireless tech whose job was to monitor and coordinate all the freqs all the time--it's possible but very expensive. There are lots of ways to waterproof TX, right? Bags, boxes or WM style TX, with upside-down lav rigs using B6, among others? All doable, but they must have a pretty big audio dept to make this much gear work. It might be good to find out who is supplying the gear for this: when the show ends or is cancelled there might be a lot of used WM TX for sale!

Nancy Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I was wondering the same thing when I watched it. I think they might be using more of a plant mic in general area and then maybe using a parabolic mic style? This is just a guess I’m interested to hear what everyone thinks.

leo153 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 My guess is a DANTE system. More info here: https://www.audinate.com/meet-dante/what-is-dante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Shows like these are the reason why manufacturers like Shure or Sony offer ultra low RF power modes (1 or 2mW). So you can put more freqs in a channel - if you have access to mighty reception antenna rigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Render Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I would also love to hear if anyone has info on how this show was done. It was fun to watch, but coordination must have been a nightmare. When the shirts came off in the last few episodes, you can clearly see the lav wires taped up the spine and down into the waistline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
