The crowd noises, music, announcements from the stadium speakers, and the voices of the skippers are all very loud. However the commentary is so quiet and soft that I cannot understand a single word. It is English which is my native language. Its volume is low. Not a single world can I understand ! F--- is the richly deserved grade for the audio technicians of NBC: FAIL !!!!!! Better than Australian TV as we didn't get any curling action for Day -2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
