As a 20+ year audio professional, the only way this happens is an engineer that either doesn’t know what they’re doing at all (so not a pro) or they aren’t getting paid enough and are very vindictive.
Literally thousands of open mic nights across the country run by teenagers getting paid nothing do a better job of preparing than this.
I applaud whoever fucked this up cause honestly, fuck that guy.
Proper soundcheck + mic 2 and I’ve never had more than 15 seconds of dead time in past 10 years.
But you know, you, you get paid.

Why waste money on a pro when the deputy campaign manager’s cousin, who is very big in the audio, can do it for campaign merch and free soda?
I mean, I know that’s tongue in cheek, but the results is the reason why.
Yeah, there’s no way he was getting merch or free soda.

As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don’t need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.
Looks like they had a second mic, but it didn’t work either
My money is on someone pulling the plug mid speech
