[USA] For over two decades, production sound mixer Greg Murphy has been the man in the background capturing audio for high-profile network shows, documentaries, and news. Working with a client list that spans major networks like ESPN, HBO, Fox News, and the MLB Network, Murphy\u2019s fast-paced Electronic News Gathering (ENG) workflow demands equipment that is unfailingly reliable. Over his career, he has wired up CEOs, national dignitaries, and every U.S. President since Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n
To navigate everything from presidential interviews to theme park roller coasters, Murphy relies on a core kit of Lectrosonics gear, anchored by DCR822 Compact Dual Channel Digital Receivers and SMDWB Dual Battery Miniature Wideband Transmitters.<\/p>\n
Seeking a lifestyle change and less travel, Murphy relocated with his family from New York City to Florida in 2016. Today, his primary go-to audio bag features a Sound Devices 633 paired with two Lectrosonics DCR822 receivers, giving him four immediate channels of high-quality wireless. \u201cI love the 822 receivers; the technology gives me the flexibility to scan and navigate the dense RF \u2018schmutz\u2019 when doing major sporting events like MLB Spring Training,\u201d Murphy explains.<\/p>\n

For unpredictable Florida locations, such as theme parks, the internal recording capability of his Lectrosonics SMDWB dual-battery transmitters is a critical failsafe. \u201cIf I\u2019m doing a feature at Disney and the talent is on a roller coaster, obviously I can\u2019t ride along with my audio bag,\u201d he notes. \u201cIts internal recording capability is a lifesaver and gives me that extra assurance that I can get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other essentials in Murphy\u2019s wireless arsenal include Lectrosonics UCR411a Digital Hybrid Wireless Compact Receivers, SMQV Dual Battery Digital Hybrid Wireless UHF Belt-Pack Transmitters, and HMa Digital Hybrid Wireless UHF Plug-On Transmitters.<\/p>\n
Murphy\u2019s audio philosophy centres on uncompromising quality and extreme preparedness. \u201cChance favours the prepared mind, so I prepare endlessly,\u201d he says, noting that he used to mic his own children when they were crawling babies just to practice getting clean audio in unpredictable situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[USA] For over two decades, production sound mixer Greg Murphy has been the man in the background capturing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":515697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-515696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
