    I just wish someone put serious effort into a microphone that worked with a mask so people wearing masks were easier to understand.

    There are a lot of people who speak at conferences who still wear masks. I get it, even if you weren’t worried about COVID, in the pre-COVID times a lot of people were out for a week after going to a conference / convention because of all the germs being passed around.

    But, even with professional speakers and professional microphones, the audio just sounds muddy when the speaker is wearing a mask.

      If they’re up on a stage by themselves speaking, and no one is within 10 meters from them, as most public speaking scenarios are, then why the fuck are they still wearing a mask? Take it off you unprofessional fuck.

        I think you may be overestimating the size of room most convention speakers address. 2m from panelist to front row of audience is normal.
