Today, Tibbo's main recorder is a Zaxcom Deva. [11] The sound mixer stated that for shows with a plethora of spontaneity, such as Modern Family, using the MKH 8060 Sennheiser microphone is ideal, because it "is not only compact and lightweight, but it was designed to suppress off-axis sounds without coloration, making it ideal for boom camera mounting."
