I mix NHL Hockey on Sportsnet in Canada, and the following is what we do for a typical game. We broadcast in 5.0 (no LFE) using a Dolby E stream, with an LtRt mix on 7+8 of the stream. The LtRt is derived from a Dolby 563 unit. In the truck, we use a Calrec console, and ADAM intercom system. 99% of the compression and EQ is inside the console.
For Ice FX, we use Crown PCC boundary mics on the glass, or Sony ECM lavs (the exact model escapes me right now). On a Sportsnet show we use 8 Ice mics (TSN uses 10, with the addition of net mics). 4 blue lines (near and far), and the four corners. I use a pair of EV 635's for front crowds, and another pair for rear crowds. They are spaced apart, either end of the broadcast booth, and opposite gondola. A Sennheiser MKH 70 shotgun is on the Play by Play camera, sent only to the center channel, and each handheld camera in the corners uses either a 416 or ME66 on them.
Announcers in the booth (play by play, and colour) use Sennheiser HDM-25 announce headsets. The reporter below uses a Sennheiser RF microphone, and Lectrosonics RF IFB. For backups we use Beyerdynamic M58's in various locations around the building in case the RF dies or drops out.
On the console, my sources include: announcers, reporter drops, digicarts, EVS machines, Referee mics, PA feeds, camera and ice mics, and the different machines in the truck that make noise (score bug, spotbox, duet, etc).
Let me know if anyone has specific questions, and I'll see if I can answer! |
