TDAT has local offices in Columbus and Cincinnati. (The picture, to the right, is from the windy plains near Woodward, Oklahoma.) I have been in business since 1991, featuring the FIRST Portable Timecode DAT Recorder in Ohio, (if not the entire Midwest). Quite the pioneer, I know.

Of course, these days, everything is non-linear. Read on....

What's in the boxes: In order to allow me to capture and retain all the sounds and voices, over the years, I have acquired quite a collection of devices and doodads. This collection includes, but is not limited to: A Sound Devices 744T Non-linear Audio Recorder with DVD-RAM Mirroring and Compact Flash back-up; Fostex PD-4 Timecode DAT Recorder; Ambient and Denecke Smart Slates; SQN-4S and PSC M4 Four Channel ENG Style Mixers; A handy little collection of Schoeps Microphones including an M-S Stereo Rig; A similarly impressive collection of microphones by Sennheiser - MKH Series 50, 60, and 70 (a microphone for every occasion); Rycote Mounts and Windscreens all around; Lectrosonics Diversity UHF Wireless Microphone Transmitters and Receivers; Comtek Wireless Headsets; Transcription mp3 and Cassette Recorders; And of course, piles and piles of cables and miscellaneous support equipment. Also, I should mention my portable ProTools LE System for the occasional, on-the-spot, V.O. recording and edit.

Another (somewhat new and very important) item is the Zaxcom ENG digital wireless stereo link. As the description implies, this is a two-channel wireless unit, linking my mixer to the camera, employing the amazing clarity and dynamic range notorious in Zaxcom digital equipment. Very useful for handheld and Steadicam operation.
