As with most operations of this kind, the equipment list is always in flux and undergoing upgrade, as well as being easily supplemented by other gear as needed. The list below therefore represents the generic minimum, and does not go into excessive detail.

Some general caveats:

-More or less everything is transportable and can be scaled for the production at hand.

-More or less everything is time code capable and compliant, when applicable.

-Surround sound production (5.1 and above) is fully supported.

Multi-Track Recorders:

-Tascam MX2424 hard disk recorders (at least 48 tracks- 24 bit, 96k capable, supported by popular DAW systems).

-Tascam DA78hr DTRS tape recorders (at least 48 tracks- 24 bit, 48k)

-Alesis HD24XR (96k capable, 24 tracks, 24 bit)

2-Track Recorders:

-Fostex FR2 hard disk/Flash portable recorder with time code option

-Dual CD recorder with serial (continuous) recording capability

-Pro Mini Disc and portable consumer Mini Disc

-Pro MiniDV with full time code

-2-track analogue 1/4"

-Cassette

-DATs, including 24 bit capability

-Tascam DV-RA1000 DSD recorder

-Alesis Masterlink

Computer Based Recording:

-Multiple desktop and portable systems with Nuendo, Wavelab, Microeditor (MTU), Cool Edit, etc. High bit rates and high sampling rates are supported. High track counts can be achieved in the multi-track capable programs.

-A library of file translation and EDL translation software, allowing communication with most modern DAW and non-linear video systems and hard disk recorders.

Mixing:

-Yamaha DM2000 (fully 96k sampling rate capable) as primary, capable of 96 channels input plus 96 channels of remote control for DAW.

-Multiple smaller mixers, including battery-powered ENG mixers and integrated mixers within ATI mic preamps.

Effects:

-Multiple, high quality external effects units. We like reverbs.

Microphones:

-Approximately 70 mics are on hand currently, including large diaphragm condensers, lavs, wireless lavs and plenty of other specialty mics.

-Transformer-isolated microphone splitters for seamless, non-invasive live recording.

Preamps:

-External audiophile microphone preamps by ATI, API and Avalon.

Time Code, Word Clock and Broadcast:

-Portable, high stability time code generation.

-Time code slate.

-Jam boxes.

-Time code distribution equipment, including wireless.

-Broadcast clocks (up, down, preset) with remote display.

-Word clock generation, with black burst and time code translation.

Video:

-Video Das

-Monitors

-MiniDV (with true time code) and VHS recorders.

……And there is just lots of other stuff to interconnect, route, process, communicate and generally make it happen.
