AUTOMATED BROADCAST AUDIO CONTROL FOR VENUES
The game stays on.
The commercials don't.
Sona switches your venue audio between the live broadcast and your music the moment a commercial break starts — and switches it back when the game returns. No one has to reach for the mixer.
THE PROBLEM
Someone is doing
this by hand.
In thousands of venues, broadcast audio is still managed manually. A commercial starts, someone notices, someone walks to the control, someone switches to music. Then the game comes back and it happens in reverse.
Every break. Every game. Every night.
Sona handles it.AUTOMATICALLY

The room follows.
House audio moves to your music for the break and back to broadcast for the game. The TVs never change. Nobody behind the bar does anything.

Commercial ends. The game comes back.
So does the game audio.
HARDWARE
Sona Edge
The intelligence behind the bar.
A small on-premise device installed at the venue. It sits between the broadcast feed and your house audio, runs detection locally, and stays connected to Sona Cloud.
BROADCAST INPUT
Takes the venue's existing broadcast feed.
DETECTION ENGINE
Identifies game and commercial content on-site.
AUDIO CONTROL
Drives the switch between broadcast and music.
CLOUD CONNECTED
Reports state and health to Sona Cloud.
