I have to say that his microphone's processing was not set up very well initially. Too high a gain to start. When he would lean forward and yell into the microphone the limiting would kick in. I think the reason that it wasn't set right was that he stayed way back and soft during the sound check. The settings seemed to improve as the debate went on.
Don't get me wrong, that microphone worked fine. We could hear everything on the TV (snicker). Aside from picking up his normal "breathing", his complaint is that it went off and on in the house PA. That's not the microphone Mr. t'Rump. They try to not have the house PA loud on stage so there is no feed back or echo for the TV. It is not setup for you to hear on stage, for that you will have a monitor speaker (if requested). It all goes back to the sound check when any issues like that are fixed. I've seen no news stories confirming his, err, perceptions.
We had a microphone go out on Obama during his first campaign. He paused and the Secret Service guy carried the spare out to him. We got thanked for fixing it, not bad mouthed.
As much as we disliked Bush II, we didn't sabotage the mic he was on. An audio engineer sabotaging a job is sort of like a surgeon turning off life support while he's operating.
How about blaming something else for a change little Donnie?
On edit: I just realized that part of his complaint was that he couldn't hear himself all the time. Can anyone with psychiatric training comment?
