Adam, Steve Wytas, and Diego on the CITGO Fueling Good Road Trip

Steve Wytas of Audio 911 just came off a 5 day location job with the Adam and Diego from CITGO’s Fueling Good Road Trip. The trip started in Providence, RI and finished up in Brooklyn, NY 5 days later. The two “Fueling Good Ambassadors” were always wired for sound with Lectrosonics wireless units and Sanken COS-11 mics. A third Lectro wireless was used for additional interviews with Adam and Diego, and a Sennheiser MKH-60 was used for some random “man on the street” interviews and ambient sound. (2) Canon C-300 cameras were used and timecode locked with a Timecode Buddy system and Betso SBOX-1 unit. Wireless camera hops were Sennheiser G3 units and a client IFB feed was made possible by a Lectro LMa and a couple of Lectro R1a units. Everything was captured on the Sound Devices 664 mixer/recorder.

On November 20, 2012, a group of cancer survivors, doctors and caregivers from Smilow Cancer Hospital, along with the Fairfield Children’s Choir and a troupe of stage performers, came together at Union Station in New Haven to perform a live “Flash Mob” event. Audio 911’s Steve Wytas was the lead sound engineer for the live performances at Union Station. The track was pre-recorded at Power Station New England, and played back live in the train station from a Protools system into a large PA system for the performers to hear. Eight of the performers sang the track live and were outfitted with wireless mics, wireless in-ear monitors, and were recorded onto the Protools system for additional post mixing. Extra stereo microphones and wireless “plant” mics were placed around the train station to capture the ambience of the room.

I’m not sure if you can spot the Sennheiser MKH-60 microphone in this picture, but if you do you’ll see that it is attached to a Sennheiser SKP300 G3 transmitter that supplies 48V phantom power to the mic and sends the signal wirelessly to the audio mixer. A big thanks to Mike Cleary from Sennheiser USA for his help in getting this system ready for a recent commercial shoot in the rice isle at a grocery store in Newark, NJ!!!
