 If you're not being sarcastic (I'm slow) or to inform the uninformed, then the extreme example is TV. High pass filters and dynamic compression/volume leveling galore. Sometimes to the point of distraction. All to try to make it listenable on TV speakers.
Dynamic compression is very often overdone to make stuff listenable on cheap CD players in noisy cars. An "audiophile" recording is very hard to listen to in that circumstance. |
Nope, not sarcastic -- and when I heard this, it was directed at regular CD recordings, not just TV which is almost always going to have poor fidelity. And your point about TV sound signals makes a certain level of sense.
Again, I can't confirm or deny these allegations, just reporting what I've heard around the proverbial watercooler.
