And to at least pay lip service to the group topic, SW broadcasters,
as a general rule, excluding Weiner and the spate of religious
broadcasters out there, tend to have a better mic technique than
domestic broadcasters. VOA, BBC, CBC, RA, RNZ, RNW, and especially DW
work a discreet distance from the mic, in an acoustically smooth room.

It's for small details like that that DRM would be of advantage: to

Your typical USA radio studio is way too dead. An RT60 of around 600
ms makes a voice spring into life. And if there must be a desk it
should be treated and trapped if necessary. A lot of rooms could be
helped tremendously by ripping out the rug and adding a bass trap.
