SCENE 01 / LOCATION SOUND PACKAGES
Location Sound Packages in Saudi Arabia
Complete production sound kits for your Saudi production.
Location sound packages bundle the key recording gear for field work into one kit. Most kits hold recorders, microphones, boom poles, wireless systems, and tracking gear. We set them up to work as a unit. They run well on real shoots.
We build and deliver full location sound packages. Each kit is made to fit your production scale and shooting site. Our team works with skilled audio suppliers. We test every part. We check that each one is matched and ready when your crew lands on location.

On Location
Sound Devices 833 and Cantar X3 mixer carts, Lectrosonics SRc wireless packages, and DPA 4061 lavs configured for AlUla, NEOM, and Riyadh narrative sets.
We build Saudi location sound packages around the cart and bag rigs MBC Studios' production audio division runs as standard. We stock Sound Devices 833 and 888 recorders for narrative carts. We add Cantar X3 and Mini systems for premium features. We run Zaxcom Nova bag rigs for ENG and second-unit moves. We pair Lectrosonics SRc and DCHR wireless receivers with SMQV and DBu transmitters. We give talent DPA 4061 and Sanken COS-11D lavs. We mount Sennheiser MKH 416 and Schoeps CMIT 5U booms on K-Tek carbon poles. Frequency clearance routes through the CST (Communications, Space and Technology Commission). We file in bulk and bundle IEM, boom, and lav blocks. We run Lectrosonics SmartTune scans on arrival. That locks clean channels across MBC's broadcast bleed in Riyadh and the NEOM XR Lab RF environment. When the schedule peaks, we cross-source second-unit packages through Filmquip Dubai or Picture Works Dubai across the 12-hour E11 highway corridor.
Wadjda's Riyadh interiors, Sattar's Telfaz11 commercial cuts, Kandahar's NEOM exteriors, and Desert Warrior's AlUla wadis all leaned on hybrid Saudi-Dubai sound packages. The dialect range drives that need. MSA, Najdi, and Hejazi run alongside the Pakistani Urdu and Filipino crew bleed from holding. That mix demands deep wireless inventory. Our coordinators stage carts on AC-rated trailers for AlUla and Empty Quarter summer schedules. June-September highs of 45-50°C will throttle bag recorders without active cooling. We run sand-protection covers on each cart back to MBC's audio bay. Haboob sandstorms shred bare XLR connectors and bag flaps. Saudization (Nitaqat) hiring helps too. Saudi-national boom operators and second mixers qualify shoots for the 5% rebates uplift. That sits on top of the 40% Saudi Film Commission cash incentive.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a complete sound package?
A full package has a recorder/mixer (such as Sound Devices 8-series). It adds wireless systems for your cast, a boom microphone and pole, a sound bag or cart, cables, batteries, and all needed parts. We scale each package to your production needs.
What recorders do you stock?
We carry Sound Devices 8-series (833, 888) for pro multi-track work. We stock the MixPre series for smaller shoots. We also run Zaxcom Deva and Maxx systems. All give great sound quality. All are reliable.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We give as many wireless channels as your production needs. That ranges from a single lav to dozens of channels for large cast shoots. We use Lectrosonics, Wisycom, and Sennheiser systems. We plan all frequencies with care.
Can you provide a production sound mixer?
Yes, we work with skilled Saudi sound mixers and boom operators. Local sound pros run the gear right. They know Saudi shooting conditions well.
What about frequency coordination?
We set all wireless frequencies to Saudi rules and your location's RF environment. Our team scans each site. We assign clean frequencies. That keeps wireless performance reliable.
Do you offer bag kits vs cart setups?
Yes, we offer both. Bag-based kits suit mobile ENG and documentary work. Cart setups suit narrative shoots with harder mixing needs. We set up the right rig for your shooting style.
