I work as a Professional Production Sound Mixer and I noticed 2 problems with your audio setup. I understand your setup is not for professionals, but these 2 issues still apply. 1 - Having a wireless boom mic defeats the real reason for having a boom mic. The main reason for having a boom mic is to have a fail safe in case anything goes wrong with wireless mics as they often do. You want to have at least 1 guaranteed audio source to use in case things go south with the wireless sources. I strongly recommend using a wired XLR cable (typically a coiled cable for convenience). There is also an additional bonus with not using the boom as a wireless mic. This now frees up 1 of your wireless transmitters you can now use for an additional lav mic. 2 - If you use a wireless earphone monitoring system you fall prey to additional wireless issues. Additionally, you want your monitoring source to be as flawless as possible so you can identify and troubleshoot any issues you hear with the recording (the whole reason your are monitoring in the first place). This is the main reason Professional Sound Mixers always plug their earphones directly into the mixer/recorder. Since the Sound Mixer is already tethered to the mixer/recorder because of the XLR connected boom (as I outlined in #1 above), monitoring the audio with earphones directly plugged into the mixer/recorder is no problem. Also, the Sound Mixer can properly adjust the recording levels and monitor technical issues directly on the mixer/recorder as they should be doing anyway. If you still want to provide wireless audio listening to other people on the set, you can easily add an IFB system as an output from the mixer/recorder. I love your video series and watch them often. I hope this advice helps. Keep up the great work!

Love the headphone mod to get rid of the cable! And supergluing a cold shoe mount to the side! 😂👌 And thanks for linking to my video!

Possibly the most comprehensive ‘build’ video you’ve put out - and that’s saying something!!!! You can tell just how many years of evolution has gone into this kit. It’s incredible!!! Such a neat and complete solution. Very impressive stuff.

Caleb, your content is such a useful resource. Thank you for pouring your time and energy into these videos.

One of the best videos i ever seen about audio ! thanks man

I've been a fan for a while but this setup got my jaw dropped Caleb. Awesome video. Thanks!

Wow! You've really outdone yourself this time Caleb! Bravo!

Thanks for making this video Caleb. Very cool kit.

Very cool setup. Great tips, and you speak really well. Thanks!

Simply amazing Caleb! And of course you solved your own problem with a quick charging setup without breaking everything down💪 Can’t wait for the next video!

That was crazy man, dropping knowledge here!

Great stuff, love setups that are well-planned/designed/thought through.

On Amazon the total price came to $2,367.92 USD

Mannn I just picked up a Deity D3 Pro two weeks ago, and I love it! Being able to boom it wirelessly seems like a dream 🤤

Thank you so much! I was just about to by one of the transmitters you were talking about, and now when I get home I’m going to try my rode go!

Amazing setup! Thank you for all your work and such great content.

Yeah I need to do this FOR SURE

Have nearly the same kit and couldnt be happier with my K-tek boom, MixPre-3, NTG-3. Now to wireless, thanks a ton!

Love the set up. And great explanation of it 🙏🏽😍✌🏽 speechless with the wireless set up for the headset

What an amazing setup! I really hope technology keeps improving and make this possible at a lower price.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I currently don’t own any of the Deity hardware but I have some alternates I going to use instead. Thanks for the new project.

Great set up. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely LOVE this set up!! Looking forward to using it myself one day 💯

Excellent Caleb! You really did it this time! Awesome Solution!

These solution videos are pure GOLD ! Thank you 👍👍

This is freakin' genius!!! Thank you for coming up with this solution! Why haven't the big-mic companies come up with something like this!?

Outstanding! Absolutely love this idea. Audio is always the pain.

Wow loved this video. I need to match this with the wheeled c-stand setup for the studio.

This is phenomenal, excellent work man. I've got two wireless rode kits handy so I might have to put them to use in a similar fashion one of these days!

So much great information given and helpful resources!

Insane...I love the ideas that came to mind as I watched this video that I can begin implementing for my setup.

Man, really high quality content. Thanks !

Wow, awesome set up, love the mod to the headphones and using the Rode go (which I love)!!! Thank you for these ideas, what a helpful setup!!!!

Honestly having done this for many, many years now (20+) using Lectrosonics gear you are better with the receiver on the top of the headphones than on the side as after a while the weight gets fatiguing. You also do not get any phase cancelation when the transmitter winds up being between your head and the receiver. Glad you just came up with this idea, ha, ha, ha...

Wow - AWESOME Setup and info good sir!! Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic video and audio setup!

OK THAT... is next level gear head stuff. Well done... charging everything with one cord? BRILLIANT!

Awesome Set Up! Thanks for sharing! You rock!

This is seriously genius! This is a game changer for me right now!!!! Thank you!

Yess!! Keep u the great work! 🤗

This looks awesome, thanks for sharing!

After watching this for my 4th time...I think this is my favorite video so far this year.

Wow... That's awesome. Enjoy watching your gear setups ☺️🙏🏻

I always loved the DIY/rigging aspect of the channel this was really interesting

Brilliant job Caleb, well done!

Nice setup for someone who is a one-man production crew without a dedicated audio mixer. I'm hesitant to be completely wireless due to the inherent issues with wireless audio, specifically interference. Great video as always!

Love it. So smart and a real hack to get stuff done!

Great video! Love your setup! Man, I tell ya, the rode wireless go is so versatile! I just bought 2 more to use as body mics with my setup. I'm actually using one with a little double sided 3.5mm jack to make my studio microphone wireless.

So many brilliant ideas in this bag! You've really pushed the envelope on this one CALEBBBB - I'm not up to Sound Devices budget just yet, but my H6 is dying some some Diety Mics to fill it up with some quality audio..... Great vid brotha

Such a nifty setup! Those Deity wireless packs are bomb 👌🤙

WOW! my boom pole is on its way to me and I'm looking ate Wireless Gos right now to get me a wireless setup myself!

I can tell you're really excited about this haha. Really cool setup!

Look how high the like bar is. I think a lot of us really needed and appreciate this video.

Beautiful setup man!

Building this, for real. I already have a few of the pieces. So excited, thank you!!!

This is BOSS LEVEL!! love it!!

It is a great design exercise, and everyone can pick any idea they like from it. Similar to a concept-car, in a way... Your USB power-hub is a goal of mine too, and I hope I can come up with a small enough system, with lots of running time, thanks to that. Very helpful, thank you so much !

I rigged up a wireless system for a shoot this week. It was just an H1n velcro attached to the pole and wired directly into it. It worked well!

There are so many great ideas in this video. I'm definitely using the wireless headphone one.

Amazing mate. Looks sooooo much more professional as well

Man really enjoyed this vid! Great ideas!

I love the attention to detail.

Awesome video with lots of cool kit! Cheers :D

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

This just Blew My Mind

MAGNIFICENT! Crazy Cool - Love it - WooHoo!

This is excellent! Sony headphone mod alone is brilliant. Just converted mine. So freeing! LOL

Awesome set up!

Audio is awesome! 😀 Nice kit!

You've outdone yourself, Mr. McGiver! Great concept.

Awesome setup!

🤯 Mind blown! You've done it again! -Will

Love your excitement!! thank you for a great video!!!

This is great! Would you be able to document how you nodded your headphones? I found some 3.5mm jacks already on Amazon and would love to do this to my own Sony monitor headphones. Thanks!

You can tell you have put a lot of time and planning into this, awesome setup Caleb!

Epic setup!

this is INSANELY awesome!

super tidy setup, love it! The headphone mod is great!

yeah dude this rocks. i actually used a bluetooth setup for monitoring and yes there is delay but i only use it if i need to move but yeah i use earbuds that are bluetooth and headphones plugged in. making the boom wireless is a little shaky for me as i've tried that with a sennheiser wireless pack and it was flawless, but... if it's a paid gig i'm going wired and manning up keeping the audio bag on me at all times. but yeah i love your setup for fun projects.

Such an awesome video. This is a solution to a problem I never knew existed.

found this while i was thinking bout it . wow tyvm , exactly what i wanted.

Beautifully done

Wow... this is awesome!

This is absolutely genius. Thank you!

This is the very kind of audio setup I've been looking for.

Another great video Caleb! I love all the frugal/DIY mods too. It's worth knowing for all Brits out there (Hi from England) that in the UK, don't know about the States, if you are to use a UHF transmitter (*not* 2.4GHz type), you must require a licence from OFCOM, which is most annoying as well as expensive. This point about licencing doesn't get aired very much in many videos about audio on KZfaq, but I thought it should be mentioned.

Love your minimal gear setup.

Yes!! Nice work!

this guy is crazy , what a setup !!!

So many takeaways from this video. Great job!!

That wireless go headphone trick is absolutely genius. I may use it to transmit sound from my pc to headphones for doing chores around the house!

Impressed, and the Borg look is priceless 😉

AMAZING!!!!! I need to know how you did the wireless headphones! I am currently using the sennheiser GH4 labs and a zoom h6n, having an audio bag and headphones would be so helpful!

For people looking to build their audio kit, please please do not plug your headphones into a rode wireless. 1) You're going to look like an amateur on set and 2) you're adding more troubleshooting headache if you start to hear rf noise/interference (is it the notoriously bad Rode Go or is it the Deity?). Also, the boom mic is the wireless fail safe. You mentioned something about "now I don't even need the bag, I can just walk away with my wireless boom pole to monitor audio". The whole point of the bag is to allow you to be mobile. And if you have a bag that lets you be mobile, then you should be using an xlr cable with that boom mic as a wireless failsafe. Just seems like an easy way to post your affiliate link to a product even if it's such a bad idea to use that device in the way shown in this video.

Lots of good ideas! I have a Mixpre 10 II and the great Orca bag but no wireless. Thanks

That's so crazy cool!

Hey Caleb; this is just awesome! I've been thinking 'bout something like that for yours, but... till now it worked for me still with a lot of compromise with my gear - now i'm doing more and more One-Man-Run&Gun-Event Stuff and it's time for THIS! Just GREAT and BIG thanks for the Ideas! Greets from Munich, Bavaria - the Oktoberfest-City! ;)

Whoa, this is just incredible! Thanks for sharing :)

the craziest, most compact setup I've ever seen!
