If you know of any venues in Scotland with sound limiters please post them below. Any additional details such as placement / sensitivity (if you know) would also be beneficial.

Please also post any venues that specify you must use their in-house system.

Many thanks.

Markie Dans Pub Oban very sensitive ( crowd noise triggers )

St Andrew's in the Square

I've not DJ'd here but played with a band a while back and even with electric drums so we could play very reasonably, it tripped.

The Windlestrae hotel in Kinross has a limiter but it seems to be set very high.

I had a pair of mackie srm450's running just below clip level with 100 guests, and the limiter was barely regestering at all

I wasnt using a sub that night though, that might make a difference.

The volunteer rooms in irvine, nice big room, recently refurbed but limiter mic right above the stage, even clapping can set the light off, not as bad as it used to be though as when they refurbed it they lowered the ceiling.

Thistle hotel milnathort

Collydean neighbourhood centre

Hamilton Racecourse, you have to use their heavily restricted sound system, not a venue I'll be in a hurry to go back to because of this, great management and staff though.

St Clair Tavern in Kirkcaldy has one

Also the King Malcolm Hotel, Dunfermline, although its only ever been sent to monitor when ive been there.

Ednam House Hotel - Kelso

Upon arrival no mention is made of a sound limiter. It's placement is to the far right of the DJ setup area, and not noticeable at all at first glance. Sensitivity is very bad. It's one of those Blue Box limiters. As soon as it touches into the red it kills the power. No warning indicator and no few second delay to give you time to lower the level.

I used to a few a year in the venue below, mainly as it's one of the very few venues with a 250 capacity in the area.

Buckhaven Community Centre

I stopped taking bookings about 4 years ago for here. The mic/limiter is directly above the bar area. All you need is a few people congregating around the bar and the limiter lights up redder that a shady district of amsterdam. There's no way of bypassing the limiter either.
