Back when the studio was built in the then "new" NBC building, word on the street amongst the "professional" audio guys in town was that it was a 5 million dollar construction disaster!
When they turned the studio on for the first live test, they thought they had defective meters on the audio board because the noise floor ate up well over 1/2 of the available head room in signal to noise ratio.
That's why the audio is so difficult to hear since it competes with the absurdly loud inherent noise floor of the studio.
