Stadium Sound is a free soundboard for stadium and arena PA operators, available as desktop and browser software on macOS, Windows, and web. It organizes walk-on music and effects into named banks; operators can queue tracks in order or trigger them with keyboard shortcuts. Files are decoded when loaded, and Monitor Mode routes previews to private headphones before venue playback. The editor provides a waveform for setting in and out points, trimming intros, and adding player names to walk-on cues. It can scan loudness in LUFS, flag tracks outside a target, and normalize a library in one click. Play counts can be exported as a CSV, and Sports Sounds Pro .set files can be imported with their banks, track names, and file paths. Playback controls include Bitfocus Companion, a phone or tablet web remote, and OSC. The web remote uses a persistent pairing token; OSC has no authentication, so the maker advises keeping controllers on a trusted production network. Optional anonymous usage telemetry can be disabled in Settings. The maker’s VPAT says it does not currently conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA and is based on a source-code audit, not assistive-technology testing.
