FieldFire Spark Audio Setup Checklist

Spark controls batter walk-ups and game-day hype through the audio already at the field. Use this checklist to prove the entire path before ordering or before the first live game.

Speaker and output

• Identify the powered speaker, mixer, amplifier, or PA used for game-day audio.
• Choose the reviewed Spark output: onboard analog or the exact connected Bluetooth A2DP speaker.
• Bring the required analog cable or adapter when using a mixer or PA.
• Test from the operator position at a safe game-day volume.
• Confirm the operator can stop audio immediately.

Spark does not include a speaker, amplifier, mixer, music subscription, or music license.

Network and connected services

• Confirm local network access for the operator’s phone, tablet, or laptop.
• Confirm internet where Spark will run if the team uses Spotify or GameChanger.
• Authorize the correct Spotify Premium account through FieldFire.
• Sign in to the team’s GameChanger account and verify the expected live game is visible.
• Keep reviewed local audio available when internet reliability is uncertain.

Roster and walk-ups

• Import or create the baseball or softball team.
• Verify every player’s number.
• Assign the local or Spotify song.
• Set the player’s start point and the team’s 8, 12 or 15-second walk-up duration.
• Preview the complete number-plus-song cue.
• Open Walk-Up Game Mode and verify the lineup order.

Automatic and manual hype

• Enable only the reviewed automatic categories the team wants.
• Confirm Your team during Start Game so offense and defense moments follow the right side.
• Trigger one manual cue from the Hype Deck.
• Confirm automatic and manual audio use the same physical output route.
• Verify stop, fade, and fallback behavior.

Optional browser scoreboard

If the field or broadcast wants visuals, test the browser scoreboard separately. It can be opened in a browser, embedded or captured by broadcast software, or shown through Spark’s native HDMI output. Display hardware is not required for Spark’s audio-first game-day workflow.
