About This Service
Professional audio is the backbone of any successful video production. Assignment Desk provides experienced Audio Technicians who specialize in capturing clean, broadcast-quality sound across every type of production environment — from quiet corporate boardrooms to noisy live event venues. Our audio techs arrive with professional wireless microphone systems, digital recorders, and monitoring equipment to manage multiple audio sources simultaneously.
Our Audio Technicians are skilled in wiring talent with lavalier microphones, operating boom poles for documentary and narrative work, mixing multi-source audio in real time, and troubleshooting noise issues on location. They carry redundant equipment to ensure uninterrupted recording and use timecode synchronization for seamless integration with camera footage in post-production.
Whether your shoot requires a single audio tech for an interview setup or a full sound team for a multi-camera live event, Assignment Desk matches you with experienced professionals in any of our 24 markets. All audio technicians are W2 employees with workers' compensation coverage included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do your Audio Technicians bring?
Our audio techs arrive with professional wireless lavalier systems (Sennheiser, Lectrosonics), shotgun microphones, boom poles, digital recorders (Sound Devices), IFB systems for producer talkback, and timecode generators for multi-camera sync. All equipment is broadcast-quality and maintained to professional standards.
Can your Audio Technician handle multi-person interviews?
Yes. Our audio techs routinely manage 4-8 wireless microphone sources simultaneously using professional mixing equipment. They can wire multiple talent with lavaliers, set up boom microphones, and mix all sources in real time — delivering clean, isolated audio tracks for post-production.
Do I need a separate Audio Technician or does the camera operator handle sound?
For professional productions, a dedicated Audio Technician is strongly recommended. While camera operators can plug in a single microphone, a dedicated audio tech manages wireless systems, monitors levels, troubleshoots noise issues, and ensures broadcast-quality sound — which is critical since poor audio is the number one complaint in video production.
Can your audio techs work with live-stream and broadcast setups?
Absolutely. Our Audio Technicians are experienced in live broadcast environments including IFB talkback systems, audio feeds to satellite trucks, mix-minus configurations, and real-time audio mixing for streaming platforms. They work regularly on live sports, news, and corporate webcasts.
How far in advance should I book an Audio Technician?
We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance, though same-day availability is sometimes possible depending on the market. For multi-day shoots or productions requiring specialized equipment, booking one to two weeks ahead ensures the best audio tech match for your project.
