The siren...

I'm dead serious and I've got a fair amount of A/V experience. It was often distorted and tinny sounding with lots of echo. Is it better than what we had? Yes, I believe it is and it will get better as they figure things out. But I was very disappointed last night.
Sure it wasn't an A+ but it beats the heck out of that old F- piece of ****
 
The siren was great outside the stadium. That being said, I was in the student section the ref's mix was ****poor at best. At times it sounded like he was using a can phone. I don't think the siren was real, I think it was you over the sound system. Still a great tradition to start
it sounded pretty real to me
 
It seems like they still have some kinks to work out with playing music over it. There were times when it was choppy, hopefully they get it figured out.
 
Okay ill admit... I thought the EAS was real.. clouds were dark around jack trice at the time.

Haha.. I think my buddy standing next to me thought it was too. I didn't ask him because i knew he would deny it.
 
There is so much potential for the sound compared to the old system. They just need to get all of the levels/settings/etc sorted out. I'd guess that they'd need to work with the city to do any work on it during the day - noise ordinances and such.

I didn't think it was ever garbled or unclear, but the volume was high enough that it sounded fuzzy in my right ear (to the north) and clear in my left ear (to the south). There may have been some saturation or clipping going on somewhere between my eardrum and my primary auditory cortex.

Even this afternoon my right ear is a bit dull compared to my left one.
 
$5 mil scoreboard and soundsystem, $20 microphone.

Time to upgrade that.

THIS was damned funny

I heard the siren for the first time while pulling for you guys against Iowa, I thought then that it was cool, didnt know that there was controversy over it, but I shoulda guessed it. I hope that thing goes off all night tonight. Should be a good game.
 
May get slammed for this but doesn't it sound a little AFL-ish?

I read your post and no others yet. I say it is about time we have something obnoxious to visitors other than a band or a chant. It is completely original. (and obnoxious to visitors) I believe we will get used to it visitors will hate it.
 
National Weather Service was amazing!

Still wish we did something like this before we go out on the field though.

Seeing that video of Cocky get revealed from the black box... makes me wish we had some sort of 'Cy' clone machine. (There are multiple Cy-Suits)... and if Cy Cloned himself for a quarter... they could do some funny stuff.
