Crackers Corner Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Could the club adjust your mic volume? I always try to listen with interest to your previous match or pitch side interviews but the volume was so loud in s26 that it was impossible to hear what you were saying?

nickolas Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Also impossible to hear in dolman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think some of the interviews are pre-recorded. Presumably on a 1970s cassette player. You can never hear what is happening in those interviews, yet the words of "Downsy" reach us loud and clear. Alas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Personally I think the problem with clarity is not the volume but that there's quite a bit of echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamwoo Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 There is so much echo in the lower dolman that you can't understand a word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Listening to the sound system in the Dolman is virtually impossible. Yet again today it was muffled and that made hearing anything a waste of time. its a long standing issue that Mark Kelly is very aware of and I know the sound engineers have fiddled and tried to fix but without success. Nibor could be right about the echo. That repeated numerous times in rapid fashion would certainly diminish clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I agree what's being said about the Dolman. Muffled and echoing in the upper Dolman. Didn't notice this last season, but as I said before whether we can hear the speakers conflicting across from the West Stand, or sound bouncing off the people I don't know. It's not travelling around the stadium well, but I guess they can only test it with people in situ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 When announcements are being made they need to turn down the bass frequencies and up the trebles. That would go a long way to making it clearer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 In South Stand I don't bother to put in the effort to decipher it anymore. I have tried to help by standing perfectly still and not moving in the hope that those in charge are trying to contact quick quid in the hope of getting a speedy loan to resolve the problem, but nobody else follows my lead so they havr got no chance. Oddly, I was once at Hibs v Kilmarnock having spent a week in Edinburgh having great difficulty understanding the locals when the PA started. I thought that I would have no chance as I couldn't understand the locals first hand let alone through a stadium PA system. Surprisingly, I was able to comprehend most of what was said but when I looked at the Hibs fans they all seemed nonplussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipflopcity Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Last match against Newcastle we moved to the Upper LS and could hear clearly all the anouncements, but today back in our normal Lower LS seats we were unable to hear any of the anouncements. I consulted with those around me who confirmed they were unable to hear them also. No point in having anouncements if you cannot hear what they are saying. Was there any safety anouncements as per previous years ? as having attended all home matches I have not heard any in the Lower LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to worry CC, you missed nothing. Nothing at all. Believe me, it wasn't Frost .v. Nixon from the 1970s. It was, and always is, the anodyne opposite. Relax, you missed nothing.

Dynamite Red Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 What interview? Oh! that muffled noise we occasionally hear pre match in the Atyeo. Maybe better putting it on a mobile app pre game instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamB Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks. All feedback gratefully received. We had a professional company in yesterday looking into this. It's clearly a difficult task getting it right for each of the stands and even different areas within the same stand but I'm sure we'll get there.

Fiale Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Apparently we had a new signing at half time - poor lad did not get a great welcome as we had no idea what was going on (and half the stand were grabbing a half time drink) Anyway again music comes across fine, clear, no echo problems or anything - all announcements however are un-decipherable. anyway Tannoy at/from Villa game Music as clear as anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 What I hate is not being able to hear the away team lineup/subs because of it. I don`t know enough about every team in the championship to recognise every player and you can`t make out the names on the shirts from the back of the SS.
