About Audio Technicians
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. Audio technicians are booked as independent contractors (1099) through our Vendor ICA, with full administrative support and invoicing handled by Assignment Desk.
