The dome is an incredibly difficult venue for audio.  Lots of vast reflective surfaces (mostly the roof) that create frequency zones that will make the sound ok in one location and awful thirty feet from that.  There is certainly new speaker and amplifier technology that might help, but this would be a seven figures project to do it right.

If it truly sounds worse than last year, it could be that some enterprising SU employee has entered new settings into the control system (say to make an adjustment to try to improve the sound for a graduation ceremony) and inadvertently messed up the settings for the full dome audio.  It's a complicated system with dozens of speakers and amplifiers and a processor that controls the levels, frequencies, etc. of each of each individual unit.  Small changes made by an operator can have large repercussions.

Getting a professional audio company to come in and take laser readings of the room and reset the system to "tune the room" could solve many of the problems.

Or it could be broke ...:confused:.   One or the other.
