Get the highest quality location sound for your commercial, documentary, TV show, or web project.
Alton Audio’s 20+ years of experience providing premium audio services ensure that you save time on set and in post production by utilizing the right audio approach and equipment for your specific needs.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, we regularly travel statewide and nationwide, with experience in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and more.
Our Approach
In addition to providing the highest quality sound for every project, we strive to be warm and collaborative, with open and organized lines of communication. We take pride in our ability to foster a comfortable environment on set, both among our peers on the crew and with the range of talent in front of the camera.
Professional & Efficient
We value being well prepared, adaptable, and unflappable in fast-paced and demanding environments, and always have backup solutions in place to ensure that your shoot is successful. We know when to be visible and when to blend into the background of a shoot, and you’re never “waiting on sound” with Jay Alton on set.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
We provide “cart-based” setups, or mobile “run and gun” setups, and aim to always utilize the most state-of-the-art technology with equipment from zaxcom, sound devices, lectrosonics, schoeps, sennheiser, comtek, sanken, and more. We have specialty cables for a variety of modern cameras (RED, Arri, Sony).
Additional Areas of Expertise
We also offer additional sound services to support you in post-production:
Re-Recording Mixing
Sound Design
Dialogue Cleanup
Audio Sweetening
Music Composition
“In a documentary, it’s important to have a sound recordist that respects the talent and makes them feel comfortable. Not only was Jay a pleasure to work with on set, he went above and beyond in planning and executing difficult shoots.
He was able to help us pull off a long shoot in a refrigerator that was kept at Antarctic temperatures as well as a difficult no-contact interview in the early months of the pandemic.”
