NEW FROM SOUNDKIT: The Remote Recordist System (RRS-1)
Introducing the first binaural head that transmits sound via Starlink to wherever you are in the world, allowing sound recordists to work from home for the first time ever!
Whether you want to mix from the comfort of your living room or work on the latest Hollywood blockbuster from your local pub – it is now possible!
How it works
We create a dummy head to match your head composition exactly. Just send 4 photos (front, back, both sides), and our scanner handles the rest.
Mics in each ear capture sound as if you’re on set (so yes, you can still argue with the director in real time) and UHD cameras in the eyes let you see exactly what the dummy sees.
Audio & picture is transmitted globally via Starlink, the worlds most advanced satellite system, using our (Patent Applied For) Low Orbit Audio Transport software. Near-zero latency. (between 0.05ms to 10 minutes) and absolutely No dropouts. (T&Cs apply*)
*Dropouts may still occur at the exact moment something important happens.
Price: £35,000
Sounds like a lot… but what price would you put on working from home?
No more standing in a muddy field at 3am, no more fighting over the last dark damp corner for your cart.
Work from home like all the normal people — it’s just like having a proper job.

Early feedback
Many early adopters have reported an upturn in bookings. Producers have been quoted as saying they prefer the dummy head to an actual sound recordist, as it’s easier to ignore them and focus on the pictures..
And that’s not all folks! Coming soon... The Soundkit BORS, Boom Op Remote System, our new state of the art boompole which extends from 0.5 metres to 250 miles. Boom Ops will soon be able to work from home too!
