In the hall, who knows? That would have been the PA system.

The mic picked up everything he said quite clearly...including his sniffing. They didn't pot the mic down when he interrupted and Clinton had to talk over him several times.

I listened to much of the debate and didn't hear anything wrong with it. I'm a professional and use microphones through audio mixers and am very sensitive to "bad mics" and other audio problems.

He's just a whiner.
