点评:I attended a concert at the Paramount Theater, (Yacht Rock Review, Jan 10, 2025) and while the venue itself has great potential, the sound system completely ruined the experience. The distortion was absolutely unbearable—so severe that I couldn’t hear the singer clearly, let alone recognize what song was being performed at times. On top of that, the volume was painfully high, leaving my ears ringing even hours after the show.
This wasn’t just a case of "loud live music"; this was outright mismanagement of the sound system. Whether it was due to outdated equipment, poor acoustics, or an inexperienced sound engineer, the result was an unbalanced, distorted, and overwhelming mix that made the performance unpleasant to endure. I've attended concerts at other indoor venues, including Madison Square Garden, and never experienced sound issues like this.
Considering the price of tickets, I expected far better. The Paramount needs to seriously reevaluate their sound system and bring in skilled sound engineers to handle live performances. As it stands, the sound quality is not just disappointing—it’s unacceptable for a venue of this caliber. I truly hope they address this issue because, as it is now, it’s hard to justify a return visit.
翻译:我参加了派拉蒙剧院的一场音乐会(游艇摇滚评论,2025 年 1 月 10 日),虽然场地本身有很大的潜力,但音响系统完全毁了体验。失真绝对令人无法忍受——严重到我无法清楚地听到歌手的声音,更不用说有时识别正在演唱的歌曲了。最重要的是,音量大得令人痛苦,演出结束后几个小时我的耳朵还在嗡嗡作响。
这不仅仅是“现场音乐太吵”的情况;这是音响系统的彻底管理不善。无论是由于设备过时、音质差还是音响工程师缺乏经验,结果都是不平衡、失真和压倒性的混音,让表演难以忍受。我参加过其他室内场馆的音乐会,包括麦迪逊广场花园,从未遇到过这样的声音问题。
考虑到门票价格,我期望会更好。派拉蒙需要认真重新评估他们的音响系统,并聘请熟练的音响工程师来处理现场表演。就目前情况来看,音质不仅令人失望,而且对于这种水准的场馆来说,简直令人无法接受。我真心希望他们能解决这个问题,因为就目前情况而言,很难再有理由再次光临。
