Concert sound: Larger-than-life or simply too loud?

With a correctly set up sound system, capable of delivering a well-balanced audio spectrum, it is possible to have a larger-than-life sonic experience without any hearing damage. Many sound system operators tend to make the sound at events too loud in pursuit of a big sound – a larger-than-life sonic experience. An insufficient or incorrectly set up sound system operated too loud can leave the audience with a painful memory, temporary threshold shift or even permanent hearing loss. The sound levels at a concert does not have to be too soft either. At Joyful Audio eNgineering we believe in using enough speakers, carefully placed and properly tuned to leave the audience with an experience worth remembering. info@joyfulaudioengineering.co.za
