what was the constant muttering coming out of it last night?
....."This is a safety announcement. Please evacuate the stadium immediately.....hello..? "Last night sounded like it was coming over the safety announcement system not the PA system.

thought I could hear the words 9 and 10 which I assumed referred to those blocks but thought if there was something going on the stewards would have been in there.
Yeah mate I've Always been fascinated by decibels as a measure.I did a shit ton of work on this a few years back. Annoyingly, this is an area still largely seen as objective rather than subjective by companies. Just had a quick look and when the system was upgraded for the Olympics (2011), measurements were taken based on the Speech Transmission Index (STI) and the space was rated 0.51 (0 = shit, 1 = excellent), which amazingly hits the target for spaces of that type (big spaces with lots of natural reverberation). As long as they hit the numbers, I don't think it matters what it sounds like to you and me.
I was allowed in to do my own tests as part of my degree and measured clarity levels. The ideal C50 value in a large space is 4-6dB and the Ricoh came out at 1-2dB...
Interesting right?......Right? Hey, wake up!
Would that last one relate to rms values?Wow, I was not expecting interest in that subject haha it changes based on what you're measuring but yes, +3dB = twice as much power output.
In case you're interested, +6dB = a doubling in voltage output and +10dB = a doubling in perceived volume by the listener
They need a new graphic equaliser!!Last few games it just sounds like the bass / treble knob has been turned to full treble
They need a new graphic equaliser!!
The last one is more psychoacoustics because it's to do with perception of sound.Would that last one relate to rms values?
Cheers fella ,like I say a little knowledge and all that, I better stop boring the others now.The last one is more psychoacoustics because it's to do with perception of sound.
The +6dB one is relevant to RMS because it is to do with amplitude
No worries mate, glad to help. It's been useful jogging my memory. Bet they regret bringing up the PA system now hahaCheers fella ,like I say a little knowledge and all that, I better stop boring the others now.
We were discussing the state of the Ricoh last night and it appears to us that Wasps aren’t maintaining the upkeep of the ground. The pitch is a disgrace, the PA system was pathetic and it feels like Wasps aren’t investing in it. I wonder why? I can’t help think things aren’t great financially still. I was told by a waspette fan that there two highest earners are being let go next season and replaced by two younger reserve players. Again why?It's OK, I'm sure our cash rich benevolent landlords will sort it out...
Theoretically yes, one thing that negatively affects intelligibility is strong initial reverberation and reflections. You will get a lot more sound waves reflected from a plastic seat (or 25,000 of them) than a human. In practice I think the difference would be nominal though, as long as the audio from the speaker gets to you before all the reverb, which it will do.Does the acoustics of number of people in the ground or where we are sat affect it (height etc?)
Sounds like the speakers have popped
