I used Danish and German microphones, Italian
wireless and fibre-optic equipment, a Swiss mix-
ing board, French recorders, British boom poles, and
German headphones—all in all—a very European kit!

Main recording setup
The nerve centre of the operation
Aaton Cantar X3 recorders
Sonosax SX-ST mixing board
Wisycom wireless equipment (plus two Lectrosonics)
DPA & Schoeps microphones
Panamic boom poles
Ultrasone headphones
Clark antenna mast
The Wisycom gear was fantastic. Very well designed
and built. Fibre-optical links, high gain antennas. True
diversity on every receiver.
An aluminium antenna mast bolted onto the van from
a company called Clark Masts was an essential piece of
kit, an extra yard of telescopic mast was worth more
than adding 250mW to the power output and messing up
everyone else's signals.
