On a different note, some folks claim it's some new digital audio technology affecting the crowd levels. Well I can tell you as a professional audio engineer, who's worked in live broadcast and studio/post production fields, that's not the case. The digital audio format has been the standard in live broadcast long before the crowd levels began changing. I don't know specific details about what type of setup WWE is running audio wise, but I know and have enough experience with HD and digital audio formats to know that no amount of audio compression/technology would affect the crowd levels that much but not affect the announcer levels, especially in a live setting. It's too hard to predict the change in levels of the crowd noise to alter it that drastically in a live setting. That's not to say that they can't and don't alter crowd levels in post on pre-taped shows and DVD releases, but they can't alter it that drastically due to DVD format and broadcast standards.
