THE FOUNDATION

Basic Audio Package

For many events, capturing the core sounds of the game and the voice of the action is paramount. Our basic audio package is designed to do just that, providing a robust and clear foundation for your broadcast:

Dedicated Play-by-Play Announcer Audio: This is your direct line to the game's narrative. Our equipment ensures the play-by-play announcer's voice comes through crisp and clear, guiding you through every moment, every strategy, and every score. You won't miss a beat or a call.
Essential Ambient Noise Capture: What's a game without the roar of the crowd, the squeak of sneakers on the court, or the crack of the bat? Our basic package includes the necessary equipment to pick up the vital ambient noise from the facility. This natural sound bed is crucial for immersing you in the atmosphere, making you feel like you're right there in the stands.

Stepping Up to the Mic

Premium Audio Solution

For events that demand an even richer, more layered auditory experience, or where multiple voices and specialized sounds are critical, HomeTeam Network offers a premium audio solution. This advanced package dramatically expands our capabilities, allowing for up to 8 audio inputs at a time.

Expanded Commentary Teams: Beyond just a play-by-play announcer, you can incorporate color commentators, sideline reporters, or even guest analysts, each with their own dedicated, crystal-clear microphone input. This allows for deeper insights, more diverse perspectives, and richer discussions.
Enhanced Ambient Soundscapes: With more inputs, we can strategically place additional microphones to capture specific, impactful ambient sounds. Imagine dedicated mics for:
‍
+ The distinct sound of a puck hitting the boards in hockey.
+ The powerful splash of a dive.
+ The individual sounds of equipment in a track and field event.
+ The chatter from the dugout in baseball.
Player & Coach Audio (where permissible): For certain events and with proper permissions, additional inputs can allow for the capture of on-field/court communications, offering a unique layer of immersion.
Crowd Microphones: Dedicated microphones placed strategically to capture the energy and roar of the audience, truly conveying the atmosphere of the venue.

Why Audio Matters So Much for Streaming

In the era of streaming, where viewers have countless options, the quality of your audio can be the difference between a captivated audience and a click away. Poor audio creates frustration; great audio creates immersion. It adds realism, heightens emotion, and delivers crucial information.

At HomeTeam Network, we believe that investing in superior audio is just as important as investing in superior video. It's about delivering a complete sensory experience that brings the excitement of the game directly to you, loud and clear.

Whether you choose our reliable basic package or opt for the depth of our premium solution, you can trust HomeTeam Network to ensure every crucial sound is heard, every word is understood.
