It took a long time to adjust to pre-delay in the headphones.  There's
something about audio that's whacked to %#@! with meters painted on
the mod monitor and into your bleeding ears. Some stations, I've
heard, try to replicate (or mimic) processing in the headphone bus
with that over the air to let the jock/talker maximize mic technique.
(Mic technique, heh? Sezwha...?  You repeat tha...?  Huh?)
