Quote: Bal "There are several factors, lack of a crowd causing a lot of echo been one, but also the announcers themselves combined with an inability to recalibrate the system, either due to skill or design.
There is a really skill to large arena PA, and making them clear - and the chap who sadly passed away (sorry his name has escaped me), certainly new how to do that and proved that the system is not poop, just we don't know what we are doing.'"
Martyn Hainstock was a great announcer and we have been served up with rather poor ones since. Although how much is down to the sound system deteriorating I'm not sure.
