description: It's not always the speakers; sometimes it's the poor acoustics. In a subway station, for example, you have all those hard surfaces that sound waves bounce off of, frequently making the speech unintelligible.

description: Howdy Chicken, Cheapo PA speakers can definitely sound mighty crummy. But many times, the root cause of poor vocal intelligibility can also be low quality microphones and/or electronics, or improper equipment settings. Of course, room acoustics are always a huge factor. And, as Nymeria noted, a mediocre PA system in a room with excellent acoustical properties will nearly always sound better than a quality PA in a bad sounding room. Thermionic
