Davis wade Sound system

[katfsh]

I know we were supposed to have the sound system upgraded for this year but I havent seen anything stating that it is or has been done. Does anyone know?

They replaced some drivers during the first couple weeks of the season. To my knowledge, nothing has been done since. If you are wondering if voices will still sound like the teach in Peanuts, the answer is "probably".

Hasn't been done yet and I'm not sure why...

Hopefully they'll add the distributed sound system and do the lower east renovation to match the west side pretty soon. It seems off now...

What's the time frame on the East side? I thought, when the West and NEZ were originally proposed, the West would happen the subsequent year. Guessing that isn't the case.

That was the story throughout... Seems we're pinching pennies again at the moment with the Dudy Noble project on the horizon...

My issue is that we will never "get ahead" in the facilities race if we can't have multiple major undertakings at once...

I was told by an audio technician (that works for MSU) the sound may be fixed with proper calibration and "distributed audio" isn't the only solution. Unfortunately, they only allow certain people to grace the control room. Millions of events have occurred with centralized PA systems that have sounded fine. Again, I was told the fix may be really, really simple (and free).

Maybe I am just really into the games, but I don't notice issues with the sound system. Not saying they aren't there. I just don't notice them.

Never bothers me either -- but it certainly doesn't do anything to add to the game -- which is my rub.

"Fixed" is relative...

Alot of it is simple acoustic realities that give constant trade-offs by having a "point and shoot" setup like we do. Too loud on one end, can't hear on the other, echoes, etc... Distributed idiot proofs the majority of that...

Agree on engie's point and posted to say I never really notice the sound being a problem from my seat.

Football isn't like basketball or baseball. I don't really care that audio doesn't add to the game. The music is loud enough for everyone to hear, and as far as the PA is concerned, less is more.
