[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 960527, member: 1555"] Mention of GT’s technical resources in this area got me thinking. Back in the 1970s (I think), Tech got Physics Prof. Patronis involved to improve the sound system at games. He was well respected within the industry and consulted with a number of well-known sound reinforcement brands. If I’m remembering correctly, he developed a time-delay apparatus to improve the intelligibility of the PA at Bobby Dodd; it was written up in the Alumni magazine at the time.

So y’all are correct in that there really is no excuse to have issues with the sound system.
