I'm in the booth helping Sonny out with the technical stuff. If you can't connect or think the volume is too low or what not, post!

Just to get everyone some help with connecting, and hopefully not sound too pedantic, make sure you have the right URL for your media player.

Just got a tour of the field and the press box inside the main stadium.

One word:

SWEET!

BROADCAST NOTES:

We had approx. 425 unique listeners to the Duluth/Sonoma game on Tuesday night with approx. 300 listeners last night to the CSU/Arizona State quarterfinal.

The audio quality of Friday and Saturday's broadcasts will be much better as we are able to use some of the professional microphones and equipment inside Pizza Hut Park's main stadium.

Just like last year's final game between CSU and Colorado - We will get high quality field level audio mixed into our radio broadcast. I'm sure you will enjoy hearing the chatter on the field during the radio broadcast and it will make for an even better sounding "radio" product.

Hope for close competitive games and also hope that Ken Lovic and I do the games justice.

Audio is up from PHP..... Enjoy some musical selections from the Ipod.

Radio Engineer Chris Sakaguchi will be monitoring this thread all night long. So feel free to chime in with your comments about the quality of the audio, microphone levels, etc.

Hoping for some super competitive games. I hope to do both games justice.

No, it's "uh bait"

by **Sonny** on Fri May 18, 2007 7:14 pm

How did we sound folks? Could you hear the audio (whistles, etc.) from the field OK? Was the mike levels between me and Ken OK?

by **CATLAX MAN** on Fri May 18, 2007 7:47 pm

Mike levels were fine, although you faded out from time to time. Could not hear much of the field level stuff at all.
