Rio Rancho, NM(September 07, 2016) – The team of Fanatics at Lectrosonics has
selected sound mixer Johnny Karlsson’s entry as winner of its “Sound of the
Fanatics” contest, in which participants worldwide were invited to submit a
soundtrack or sound effect to accompany Lectrosonics animated logo to be used
for the company’s video tutorials and online content. Karlsson has received a
Lectrosonics SSM micro bodypack transmitter as the grand prize for having his
soundtrack chosen.
For Karlsson, creating
the logo’s sound was a fun project that reminded him of his industry beginnings
as a composer and sound designer for games and commercials. Since 2010,
Karlsson has been working less in the studio, and more as a location sound
recordist and mixer. He was sound recordist for all 39 episodes of Fuel
TV’s Action Sports Plus, and was sound mixer for multiple episodes
of Comedy Central’s diotsitter and HGTV’s Selling L.A.,
as well as short films including Funny or Die’sCops: Ferguson.
In his early career,
Karlsson first encountered Lectrosonics when shadowing industry veterans on set
to learn his craft. The pros recommended that he invest in the same for his own
gear, which was a little challenging on his limited budget starting out. As he
explains, “I know that sometimes when guys start out they go with a less
expensive option, but I found a way to get some Lectrosonics gear, and I’m so
glad I did. To this day, I’m a fan of Lectrosonics products. I’m very happy
with them for sound, reliability, and range.”
Karlsson put his SSM
prize to work right away in what proved to be a great application for its small
size: capturing sound for a children’s toy commercial. Of his experience with
it he says, “The SSM is one fantastic little thing! It’s very small. I knew that
it was going to be small from the name, and the pictures, but when you actually
hold it in your hand, it’s very impressive. I’m a happy Lectro user!”
“There were dozens of
great entries for the contest, and it was difficult to choose the 'best'” says
Karl Winkler, vice president of sales & service at Lectrosonics. “However,
we picked Karlsson's entry after many listenings and many debates. We came to
feel that this soundtrack really embodies the spirit of what our brand stands
for: it is musical, sounds interesting, and has an emotional component. We're
so pleased to have Karlsson's entry become our official logo soundtrack.”
