"Maurice Battey"

I've just moved from by the sea near Lymington, Hants, where my JVC
receiver could pull in a 1st-class signal for ClassicFM using just 3 ft of
co-ax hung behind a cupboard as aerial, to an area between Farnham and
Hindhead, where there is an odd problem with the signal.

(Because this is a fringe area I've had a VHF aerial installed above the
roof and connected through a booster box that boosts all incoming UHF &
VHF
signals to the various sockets in the house.)

The odd thing about reception is that although the MUSIC on ClassicFM is
beautifully clear, when the presenters start talking their VOICES
are muffled and boomy (except for what I take to be pre-recorded
commercials).

I cannot understand why that should be so. Suggestions, please?



** Hardly possible for that to be an antenna or reception issue.

Consider that in moving house, you now have a whole new listening room and
speaker set up which generating more low frequency reverberation that
previously.

Also, male announcers often have the studio mic very close to their lips and
speak in a soft voice, exaggerating the bass content.

Try listening via good headphones to see what is being dished up.
