Colts Game Sound Problem......

[jmbstudios]

Ok, I started this topic because the other one seemed to go in a different direction.... But here is a simple, logical explanation of a possible scenario of the skipping sound.

 

Being in the Sound Reinforcement business for years, I will offer a possible explanation. POSSIBLE!

 

Feedback in a Stadium is hard to get rid of. If you have ever sat in the stadium when it opens and hear the Referees testing their microphone levels, then you might have heard the same thing. The feedback in stadiums from microphones can sound just like a CD skipping. Not the screaming feedback you hear in clubs. This is due to the hundreds of speakers throughout the stadium, and the spacing of the speakers.

 

That said, a Ref might have turned his microphone on accidently, and by the time the sound guy figured it out, a few seconds had gone by. Therefore you hear what sounds like a CD skipping. But the noise going into the Ref's microphone is the crowd noise.... So that is the feedback (or skipping sound) you hear...

 

And as feedback happens, it gets louder, and louder. So when the Ref's microphone was turned off, you hear less of a crowd noise.

 

Again, this is just a possible explanation, but extremely possible.

 

I watched the game and heard it too, and I think this is what could have happened. My first reaction was feedback and the damn soundguy needs to turn the Refs mic off...

 

There you go. Lets hope it wasn't cheating. Thats another black eye on the NFL.
