re: #170 sattv4u2

But that wasn’t what was happening there

A) the “crowd” wasn’t that large

B) the video was shot from the back, and the audio from there was clear

Through a mini boom mic, sure.

C) the echoing wasn’t just from those in the front, it was from everyone

It’s supposed to be from everyone, because that amplifies the sound.

I saw the same thing at the OccupySF site today which was much smaller. I thought it might be for some kind of accessibility reasons. That’s probably also part of it.
