Sound Devices Scorpio, Zaxcom Nova, Wisycom, Lectrosonics, and Shure Axient Digital packages through Audio Plus Madrid, Sound Spain, and Camara Movil Audio Division with CNMC coordination
Here is how this works in practice. Location sound packages in Spain run through Audio Plus Madrid as the prestige feature partner, Sound Spain as the broadcast and series workhorse. And the Camara Movil Madrid Audio Division as the camera-and-sound combined-pickup option. Recorder inventory leads with Sound Devices Scorpio as the 32-track flagship for the large-cast prestige drama like Money Heist and the Madrid-shot Netflix originals. Sound Devices 833 as the workhorse for episodic and broadcast. And Zaxcom Nova as the Zaxcom-network alternative for productions running Zaxcom transmitters as recording-capable lavs.
Here is the short of it. Sound Devices MixPre-10 II covers documentary and the smaller commercial units. Bag kits run on Orca OR-32, K-Tek Stingray, and Petrol bags with Anton/Bauer Cine VCLX dual-output batteries for the day-long stretch. Cart-based mixer carts run through the Magliner Junior with Sound Devices CL-12 mixer panel for the narrative work that prefers a stationary mixer position with Cintenna multitrack outputs to video village.
Here is the breakdown. Wireless transmitter inventory covers the full top range — Wisycom MCR42 dual-band receivers and MTP60 transmitters as the European-default flagship. Lectrosonics SRc and SMQV transmitter sets as the LA-Hollywood-default that ships with most US productions. And Shure Axient Digital AD4Q and ADX1 for the largest cast counts where ShowLink remote-control of transmitter parameters from the mixer position becomes key. CNMC range coordination through the mixer's pre-registered allocation is needed for any Spanish production running more than two wireless channels. Madrid and Barcelona TV white-space is congested.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. And the Wisycom and Lectrosonics MHz-block selection happens during prep with the Shure WWB6 scanner. Mediapro Post Barcelona and Telson Madrid handle dailies sync and post audio for Spanish features. Summer 40°C-plus Andalucía and Almería heat from July through August needs explicit cart shading and ice-pack thermal running on the Sound Devices Scorpio CPU section to prevent thermal-throttle during long master takes.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a complete sound package?

Can you provide a production sound mixer?
Yes, we work with experienced Spanish production sound mixers and boom operators. Having local sound professionals ensures proper equipment operation and familiarity with Spanish shooting conditions.

We coordinate all wireless frequencies with Spanish regulations and your location's RF environment. Our team scans locations and allocates clean frequencies to ensure reliable wireless performance.
Do you offer bag kits vs cart setups?
Yes, we offer both bag-based kits for mobile ENG/documentary work and cart setups for narrative productions with more complex mixing requirements. We configure the right setup for your shooting style.
