Read Alistair McGHEE’s Audioroot Battery Kit review in AUDIOMEDIA magazine
Are all sound operators really, really boring people? Consider this cautionary tale. A good friend of mine was returning from a trans-Atlantic shoot on the west coast. Drawing the shorter of the straws he was seated next to the sound man, who over the next nine hours dedicated the conversation to the vexed subject of batteries – types and varieties thereof and the pros and cons of the different charging regimes, and not by any means ignoring the fascinating area of battery chemistry. Needless to say by the time they set foot on Heathrow tarmac, they were close to a suicide, or at the very least a murder.
But the truth is, we love our batteries, and a new system for sound recordists is big news.
