What Does a A2 (Audio Assistant) Do?
An A2 (Audio Assistant) is the second audio technician on a production set, working under the lead audio engineer (A1). They handle boom microphone operation, run and manage audio cables, set up and strike audio equipment, manage wireless microphone packs on talent, and maintain backup recording devices. A2s are essential on multi-camera shoots, live events, and any production where the audio demands exceed what a single technician can handle.
