PENERAPAN TEKNIK MIKING PADA DIALOG SUARA DALAM PROGRAM LIVE PERTUNJUKAN SENDRATARI "RUKESTRA BUDAYA”

ABSTRACT
Audio quality is an essential element in television production because dialogue
conveys the story, characters, and emotions to the audience. In the live dance
drama performance program “Rukestra Budaya,” the writer served as an audio
engineer or audioman and encountered differences in vocal characteristics, breath
sounds, plosive consonants, and fluctuating audio signal levels. This Final Project
Report aims to describe the application of the off-axis miking technique in voice
over dialogue recording. The discussion refers to theories of television audio,
voice-over recording, audioman responsibilities, and off-axis miking. Data were
obtained through direct and indirect observation of the recording process, scripts,
rundowns, rehearsal recordings, production documentation, and literature studies.
The implementation was conducted through preproduction, production, and
postproduction stages. The microphone was positioned slightly away from the
direct line of the voice actor’s mouth, with adjustments to angle, distance, gain,
input level, headroom, pop filter, and audio monitoring. The results showed that
this technique reduced breath sounds and plosive consonants while maintaining
articulation clarity and natural vocal characteristics. Therefore, off-axis miking
supported the production of clear and stable voice-over dialogue in “Rukestra
Budaya.”

ABSTRAK
Kualitas audio merupakan unsur penting dalam produksi program televisi karena
dialog berfungsi menyampaikan cerita, karakter, dan emosi kepada penonton.
Dalam program live pertunjukan sendratari “Rukestra Budaya”, penulis berperan
sebagai audioman dan menghadapi kendala berupa perbedaan karakter vokal, bunyi
napas, konsonan letup atau plosive, serta tingkat sinyal audio yang fluktuatif.
Laporan Tugas Akhir ini bertujuan menjelaskan penerapan teknik miking off-axis
dalam perekaman dialog voice-over. Pembahasan mengacu pada teori mengenai
audio televisi, perekaman voice-over, tanggung jawab audioman, dan teknik miking
off-axis. Data diperoleh melalui observasi langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap
proses perekaman, naskah, rundown, rekaman latihan, dokumentasi produksi, serta
studi pustaka. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan melalui tahapan praproduksi,
produksi, dan pascaproduksi. Mikrofon ditempatkan sedikit menyamping dari arah
langsung mulut pengisi suara dengan penyesuaian sudut, jarak, gain, tingkat input,
headroom, pop filter, dan pemantauan audio. Hasil penerapan menunjukkan bahwa
teknik tersebut dapat mengurangi bunyi napas dan konsonan letup tanpa
menghilangkan kejelasan artikulasi serta karakter alami suara. Dengan demikian,
teknik miking off-axis mendukung produksi dialog voice-over yang jelas dan stabil
dalam program “Rukestra Budaya”.
