I was just traveling in the public town-railway ( kinda like the ones moving in San Francisco )
At every coming rail-stop , this ticket-dude was informing through a mike on which other trains people can move from that rail-stop .
He obviously held his mouth pushed against the mike , and besides that , spoke loud through it .
Never understood this attitude ... they probably don't have a clue .

I've experienced it too with some hip-hop concerts .
MC's shouting & shouting just to be "represent" , while their voices de-form and it's hard to hear what words they're rappin.

This set-up below is'nt build for nothing in professional studios .
