What's In Your (Theatrical Mic Rigging) Kit? with Ryan Cooper - freelance Sound Designer

[@Wizerslapski]

really awesome clip....this guy is a walking maintenance shop! Ive been on some big theater shows as a local stage hand and ended up helping out with audio and I've seen a lot of these tools to make the ear rigs. great stuff.

Hey, just a quick thing, nothing about the video it self, but if you write the rime stemps in the mm:ss format so 10:32 for example and not hhh:mm:ss as you did, the timestamps will show in the playbar as chapters.

[@MrSesmith11]

Dude. You could easily reduce your gak to one of those cases. Although, when I was younger I carried just about everything I thought I might need. Nowadays, I’m lucky if I remember my cans when I walk into a venue!

Time Stamps! Thanks for that. Great work

Glad you like them!

That’s an awesome kit! Ryan, What was the model of the router in your blue case? I’ve been looking for something small like that to control boards with. I’ve found that this is such a niche use that it’s hard to find info regarding range and reliability. Are there any other models you would recommend small or not?

[@kyleshadow2]

+1 would love to know as well.

[@coopersounddesign8594]

It's a GL-iNet GL-AR750S-Ext. They are pretty reliable and have a good bit of control under the hood. They don't have super great range but definitely better than something similarly sized like an Airport express. www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar750s/

Hey ! Where did you find the pockets hanging on the cover ?

[@DcSoundOp]

Are you asking about the Pelican lid organizer? If so, they are available for most size cases here: amzn.to/3Ogj2QX (affiliate link)

[@MrMercho4416]

Cool , Do you have a link for the Lav Amp? That's a great idea.

[@wienerstein2817]

I would love a link as well.

I would love a link for those as well, does anyone know where to find these or something similar Cheers

Nice overview! But wich labelprinter do you use? And how do you label your stuff, witch details you put on?

[@ryancooper3017]

I use a Brother PTE-550W with some generic blue tape that has high strength adhesive. A lot of my label styles have been updated since I printed the older white ones on some items in the kit. Now I have a few different styles: one that’s about 1”x2.5” with a logo, barcode and 2 lines of text, one that’s about .5”x1” with just a QR code and logo, cable specific ones, mic elements ones and everything in between. If you email me I’d be happy to show you some examples!

@@ryancooper3017 Hey Ryan, what software do you use for barcodes and QR codes? I assume you have your inventory in an asset management system.

[@erg2475]

What is the internet tester you use?

[@bennsargood3152]

dont suppose theres a link for the sennheiser tool??

[@coopersounddesign8594]

Hi Benn, The part # for the Evo service tool I have is 514099 however it looks like Sennheiser replaced them with adapters for 1/4" drive screwdrivers, and they actually look to be much better built. Here is the part # for the New Evo tool: 580935 and the Lemo tool: 582910. If you are in the US either your Sennheiser rep can order them or you can get them from Sennheiser spare parts directly at 952-392-2132. For the UK they can be ordered online at spares.sennheiser.co.uk/
