The Sound of the Super Bowl – How KLOVER MiK Parabolic Microphones Elevate the Game

By Paul Terpstra

When it comes to the Super Bowl, fans expect nothing less than perfection—high-energy plays, stunning visuals, and, just as important, crystal-clear audio that brings them into the heart of the action. Behind the scenes, FOX Sports relies on cutting-edge technology to capture every sound from the field, and KLOVER MiK parabolic microphones play a crucial role in delivering that immersive experience.

Capturing the Super Bowl Like Never Before

Super Bowl LIX was a technical marvel, featuring a 10,000-square-foot FOX Sports tech compound, multiple remote broadcast hubs, and state-of-the-art signal management. But none of that would matter without high-quality audio, and that’s where KLOVER MiK steps in.

FOX Sports’ Jewel Event Kit and its new Broadcast Remote IP Studio Kit (BRISK) allow for seamless audio and video transmission, but even with the most advanced networking, the real magic happens at the source—the microphones capturing every sound on the field.

Why Parabolic Microphones Matter?

Unlike traditional microphones, parabolic microphones are designed to focus in on sounds from long distances, eliminating unwanted background noise and capturing crystal-clear audio from hundreds of feet away. This makes them essential for live sports broadcasting, where every play, hit, and call from the quarterback needs to be heard with absolute clarity.

The KLOVER MiK 26, KLOVER MiK 16, and KLOVER MiK 09 parabolic microphones have been used in the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Playoffs, and the NCAA men’s basketball tournament—delivering unmatched sound quality in some of the most high-profile sports events in the world.
