Great sports audio puts the viewer on the field. The crack of a bat, a call at the plate, a coach's word mid-game. Getting that sound to air takes wireless that holds up in crowded RF, mics that athletes forget they're wearing, and a crew that has done it on live TV. Surge Point Productions provides sports broadcast audio from Raleigh, NC, for productions anywhere in the country.
We rent the Q5X QT-AD10P PlayerMic with Countryman B6 lavaliers. The QT-AD10P is Axient compatible, so player and official audio go straight into your Shure Axient Digital receivers with the same encryption, spectrum coordination, and monitoring as the rest of your wireless. The transmitter is small and light, the B6 is about as discreet as a lav gets, and the package is made for contact, sweat, and movement.
Whether you're micing an official for announcements, a player for in-game sound, or a coach for a feature, we build the kit for your sport: transmitters, lavs, mounting, spares, and receivers. We look at rig placement and antenna coverage before the first pitch, not after.
We start with your show plan: the number of mics, where the receivers sit, how audio gets to the truck, and who needs IFB. From there we plan frequencies, antenna placement, and spares. On show day we can run the RF ourselves or hand a tested system to your A1 and A2. Either way, you get clean, coordinated wireless that stays up from pregame through the final out.
Our Shure Axient Digital inventory includes ADX1 bodypacks, ADX2FD handhelds, Spectrum Manager, and Showlink remote control. Showlink lets your A1 or RF tech change transmitter settings and watch battery and RF status from the truck, with no need to pull a player aside. Pair it with Axient PSM IFB for talent and interviews, and Clear-Com FreeSpeak II for crew comms.
