C A S Q U A R T E R L Y I FA L L 2 0 2 0 43 Chris Munro CAS showed his rig from the stage of Mission: Impossible 7 which was in prep at the time, so everything was deployed in work mode! The Q&A was done from his cabin in a cruise ship off the coast of Norway, where they are keeping the crew. Things could be worse! His vertical cart has a Scorpio and CL16 panel, and he likes having the ability to get 32 ISO's with it. He runs a Cedar DNS-8 and NoiseAssist on the Scorpio for processing individual tracks. A Blackmagic dual monitor sits at the top, with the ability to mount a second for heavier multi-camera days. IEM transmitter and receivers round out the active hardware on this high-efficiency rig. The kit is small as his Audio Ltd A10 radios are all remoted to the set with small antennas and fed back to the mix position via Dante. All the inputs and outputs are available via patch panels on the rear of the cart; XLR, BNC, and RJ45. Above the patchbay are a pair of receivers from the private lines from the boom operators. His A-10 rack mounts on a pancake and lives on its own stand for easy placement near the set. Chris's follow cart is a pair of three-drawer racks mounted in a large cart with a top shelf that looks like a lot of camera carts you've seen. He keeps IEM's and headphones in the top drawers, mics on the second level, then lots of magic arms and rigging for cars. On the top shelf, he has a detachable rack box with expendables. He has a mini rig with a Zoom F8N with a Dante interface from Glenn Sound so he can bring his radios into the machine. He also has a Zoom fader panel. It's on a small upright cart and he likes it because it's small and, as they do a lot of helicopter work, he can get it in and out of a helicopter quickly. As they are prepping, he has a van-load of gear in cases ready to go onto the truck or ship! All around, it was great to see everyone's setups; how things are the same and how each mixer has their unique arrangement of pieces—and adds personal touches. Hopefully, we'll all get to meet in person at next year's CAS Parade of Carts.
