    Default ENGLISH Venues with Sound Limiters

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

    Many thanks.

    Amington Liberal House, Tamworth.
    Packington Moor, Lichfield - However, it is permanently set to 'Monitor', so is never 'Active'.

    Nice one Shaun--as its my number one hate I will have to dig through the records but can think of one immediately that was a total disgrace and no one should ever play the venue.

    I need to check diaries.

    Ill be in touch

    Kenwood Hall - Kenwood Suite, Sheffield
    Limiter situated halfway down the left hand wall, typical triangle of lights, too long on 3 reds and you're off. I worked with no subs, played at normal volime (loud) and didn't set it off. I have no problem working with it again.

    Hey Green, Huddersfield
    A slightly different kind of limiter. You plug your mixer output into the limiter via XLR, then from the limiter to your amps/speakers. The limiter cuts the bass / volume as needed to help limit, but if you still hammer it the system will cut the power. I worked alongside a band, so got to test with the system and it seemed to go plenty loud enough, but the band had a drum kit & couldn't work with the limiter. After a lengthy 'debate' with the owners it was decided to bypass the limiter, so I can't say for sure how good/bad it is in a gig situation

    Off the top of my head....

    Bristol:

    Longwell Green community centre (though commonly disconnected)
    Hungerford Road community centre (nightmare levels)

    Bath:

    The Assembly Rooms (Tea room specifically, set at a reasonable level)


    I'll have to have a dig through my notes to find the rest, I know of at least another two community centres that have them, but they've never given me trouble.

    Basingstoke wise: There are others but these are the ones to note that can cause problems.

    Oakridge Hall for All - Very sensitive sound limiter with the unit by the stage area. There is a plug that bypasses it but you won't be told that.
    The Irish Centre - Not too bad but you still a pain. Only been installed for the last couple of years.
    Popley Fields - Sensitive.
    Chineham Village Hall - Set at 100db. Not really a problem.
    Lychpit Village Hall - Set at 90db but smallish hall. Have to keep an eye on it.

    Other ones:

    The Clockbarn, Whitchurch - No limiter installed but the staff have a handheld monitor. Never had any problems there at all but they are strict on 11.30pm finish.
    Northbrook Park - As above. Handheld monitor that is looked after by the staff. Not had any problems here either.
    Wokefield Park - Limiter installed and it's set quite high at 115db if I remember correctly. No problems at all.
    Trunkwell House - Handheld monitor that is looked after by the staff. Not had any problems there.

    That's all I can think of at the moment.

    Best Western Russel Hotel Maidstone - Awful set at 80db, even clapping sets it off, on my black list

    West Malling Village Hall, Nr Maidstone - Set at 98db so its not too bad

    Weald of Kent Golf Club Nr Maidstone - Set at 110db so its a struggle to even get it in the red!
