I went to a stand up comedy event held at the SAP Center in San Jose, California recently. There was an immediate problem with the show that persisted for over an hour. The various performers using a handheld microphone were unintelligible to the audience due to an uncommon amount of slapback echo. Now, I know there should be rehearsal time and the setting of audio levels and testing that take place well before the public fills their seats. Maybe this happened. Maybe it didn't. Another possible reason for the bad audio was that the SAP Center audio crew was filling in for the usual stand up tour's audio team. I think I heard that excuse but I am not sure because the audio was all a difficult to understand wash of noise.
This is a VideoGPT video loosely based on that event. lol.
