Is anyone on here a sound engineer? It's not related but too many wireless access points at my place of work degraded our wifi speeds. The building was over-specified and the excess hardware created interference. Switching off 50% of them resolved the issues. Basically, we had bad advice from a contractor.

Dollymarie Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 To add to this, I could hear slightly better when I was in the Atyeo last season, compared to now in the South Stand corner. I can hear Downsy for the most part ok, but the interviews with Lee, and general announcements by others aren't so clear. The music seemed really quiet on Saturday as well. I have to really concentrate to try and hear what's being said, even when Downsy is speaking. Just my input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I always thought it was just the Dolman which was affected, certainly last year people in other parts of the ground weren't commenting like they are now. I sat in the South Stand corner which joins the Lansdown for every rugby match last year and never experienced the sound problems that I did when I sat in E29 for my football ST. Now the problems seem to have spread. Sound is too high or too low, but worse than that it's muffled and inaudible. As someone said you could be missing safety announcements. @Mkelly for your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its as crap as its always been - certainly in the Dolman. Maybe @Mkelly should try sitting in the stands on a match day to hear for himself. @cynic From the reply in the post below it appears whatever work was to be done has been completed? Though from the responses on this thread clearly still not fit for purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I see that MKelly has replied on a different thread so maybe he could reply on this thread as well? He is the stadium manager, isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Maybe Mark is getting confused and keeps getting in new personal assistants rather than understanding that we are debating the public address system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad I was able to see the half time scores on the screens. Out of interest, can anyone in the ground hear clearly what is being said? I think it speaks volumes, and clearly, that in the 17 hours since I asked if anyone at all in the ground can hear the PA system clearly that nobody has yet answered YES!

Then again to be fair, nobody is going to answer yes for fear that 18,000 plus people in the stadium will be asking him/her all match 'What did he say?'

t_b Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I still maintain that all the "pre match LJ videos" etc should just be done with subtitles. No need for them immediately after filming; put them up just before the players walk out when the ground is at its fullest. But with subtitles so people can read it on the big screens as they "talk" - it's hardly putting scientific equations and complex mathematical formulas up; I reckon you could pre-write most of it and just copy and paste with minimal alteration weekly!

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Beats me why we haven`t yet managed to put substitutions up on the screens. Since you can`t hear who`s come on for the opposition unless you have an in depth knowledge of what Ipswich`s squad look like you have no idea whether they`ve brought on a defender or whatever.

t_b Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 At Watford and you can hear everything they say pitchside and they do it whilst just fading down the song playing as well. So it is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is possible! Out of interest do Watford have speakers at ground level? I.e. Around the pitch? I'm convinced that's part of the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
