Product pages and specifications are helpful, but we wanted to create something that serves the working sound community in a more direct way.

So, we built a new section of haltertechnical.com called Production Sound Resources, a free collection of practical tools and education aimed specifically at production sound mixers.

Inside this new area you will find clear information on signal flow, gain staging, and metadata management. You will also find professional workflow guides for different types of production, including scripted, unscripted, broadcast, and documentary. And, you will find real, functional calculators you can embed and use to estimate recording time, plan media, and double check timecode settings.

The goal is pretty simple. Provide a single place where mixers can strengthen their technical foundation and feel more confident on set.

Think of it like a toolbox that lives in the cloud, always available, never forgotten in the truck.

We invite you to explore the section, share it with your crews, and help us continue improving it. Location sound is a craft built on positivity and collaboration. Halter Technical is proud to support that spirit.

When one of music's biggest superstars shared video of herself wearing Halter Technical headphones to her stories, people pay attention. Taylor Swift once again posted the iconic Scene Monitor headphones to her instagram, as she prepares for the release of her new album "The Life of a Showgirl."

We're big fans of Taylor around here, and we're grateful that she keeps using, sharing, and loving our headphones!

When one of the most respected names in location sound takes the time to review your product, you pay attention. Chris McCallum, the creator behind the Soundo YouTube channel and a veteran sound recordist from Australia, has spent decades perfecting his craft across television, documentary, corporate, and podcast productions. His fully self-contained 32-track road-ready recording station has set a high bar in the industry, and his clients know him as one of the very best in the business.

In his latest video, Chris takes the WildTrax Recording Engine for a spin with an SQ5 mixer. He walks viewers through the workflow from setup to operation, demonstrating how easily WildTrax integrates into a professional sound environment. Real time metadata tagging, straightforward channel routing, and a clean interface make for an efficient and reliable recording process that does not get in the way of the job at hand.
Chris’s review offers a practical, hands-on perspective that comes from years in the field. Watching him put WildTrax through its paces is a valuable look at how the software can fit into high-pressure production workflows of any size.
