We are shooting a corporate event at U.S. Bank Stadium — it’s a Gala style event where our key talent will be speaking on stage. We’ll need you to capture audio from the live event team’s microphones by recording a “line out” feed from the sound board controlled by the on-site live event sound engineers.

we will coordinate with the live event team but please prepare to bring multiple options to receive a “line out” feed (XLR adapters, ¼ inch cables/adapters, etc)
1 wireless lavalier mic kit

we have access to 2x DPA 6061s and 1x Tentacle 32-bit Sync-E Recorder if we need additional gear
