Sound Mixer Rates
All rates include me plus the full sound package: recorder, wireless, boom, IFB, timecode. One number, no separate kit fees.
How Pricing Works
Rates are based on the type of production, duration, and any special requirements. Every booking includes me as your sound mixer plus my complete professional sound kit: recorder, wireless, boom, and all accessories.
I quote per project to give you an accurate number up front. There are no surprise fees. Here's what factors into the rate:
Production Type
Broadcast, documentary, corporate, commercial, and event sound each carry different day rates.
Duration
Standard day rate covers up to 10 hours. Half-day rates available. Multi-day bookings may qualify for a reduced daily rate.
Equipment Needs
My standard kit covers most productions (8+ wireless channels, boom, recorder). Specialty gear like additional IFBs or plant mics quoted separately.
Travel
No travel charges for most of New Jersey and the NYC metro area. Locations beyond a 50-mile radius may include a mileage or travel day charge.

Event Sound & PA Rates
