Hello All,
The last paragraph of Troy Patterson's column at Slate, about the royal wedding.

"At the moment of the hitch, there was a sound glitch, the rare flaw in a grand day: I liked the swell of droning feedback that stripped from the speakers just as the bride was pledging herself. In other noise news, all throughout the kingdom, the microphones picked up a high huge cheer—and tea-kettle shriek—and a beauty of a tintinnabulation. Good show!"

Regards, Jack

Westminster Abbey defines the term "echo chamber" it is a massive building and normally doesn't get used all in one like it was on Friday so normally the PA is ok, it's not the 1st time I've heard low frequency feedback on broadcasts from there when the whole building is in use, I've been at a choir recital there in the nave of the abbey which is still huge but I thought the acoustics and the PA which was a distributed system I think of Nexo PS series did a good job in a building built the thick end of 800 years old and the size of a city block.
