They call this a Super Bowl?

Re: They call this a Super Bowl?

The commercials are about as bad as the game.

I did like the Toyota/muppets one though :) But that was the only one-

I hope it gets better on both fronts------

What's with the echo being louder than the broadcast feed from fox in the awards?

Too many open mics?

Sound guys asleep?

I was actually going to post this myself, but perhaps it is just a stylistic decision. I'm more concerned about the slightly distorted quality that has no place in an HD broadcast of the Superbowl.

I didn't bother watching the post game this year, but generally the echo during the Lombardy Trophy presentation is because it is done out on the field where the stadium PA is very loud, and quite far away, creating distinct echoes that get regenerated.

It actually sounded as though there were audience mics left on intentionally… to me at least.
 
My Super Bowl Audio Complaint (And it's not about half time)

I find it so odd that Fox would not let us hear Peyton Manning. Usually that (field mics) is a big part of their presentation.
But tonight, we could hear Russell Wilson, although he did not audibalize much, but, if we could hear Peyton (say after a change of possession), Fox would immediately mute the field mic(s).
Was Fox afraid of giving Omaha any press? It was quite freaky to me.

A few more beers will fix any of those concerns ;-)

Of course that depends on the system and its design.

In some cases the PA puts a lot of energy on the field and in other very little energy on the field.

This is determined by the type of system and the requests of the owners/operators. Some like energy on the field-others don't.

Sometimes a seperate system/feed is used for the field coverage vs the stands coverage.

It also depends on where the audience mics are vs the PA speakers. Sometimes they are shielded from the direct energy-other times not.

So as with everything else audio-there are lots of variables-depending on the original design/limitations and so forth.
 
Re: They call this a Super Bowl?

I merged all the Super Bowl related threads into this one, so that the usual bitch fest remains contained. I think the halftime shows are getting better every year, and I don't care about the audio for the rest of it.
 
Re: They call this a Super Bowl?

I am not a big football guy, but when I saw the ball snapped over the quarterback's head, I lost interest and switched bact to Monk re-reuns.

It is a little odd how excited the sheeple get about watching commercials. They're commercials.

More power too them for getting so many to buy into the concept of wanting to watch commericals.
