On the set of NBC’s American Dreams, production sound mixer Stephen Halbert fixes Sanken’s CUB-01 boundary mics on the vintage broadcast console or in the studio on the old TV cameras to capture the voices of the “crew.” Halbert also employs Sanken COS-11 lavalier mics throughout the show: “I hide them a lot in the knots of ties. Before the Sanken lavalier came along, I had to put the mics down on the body where there is a lot of clothing rustle, and you lose signal when the actor’s head moves from side to side.”
