Any one played here guys?
Just got the big heavy threatening letter from the Council advising of 96 decibels and not to tamper with the sound limiter or do a by pass on pain of prosecution.
Personally I believe I will have to cancel and give the client their deposit back--my Country Show is not excessively loud but my pa /vocals including yee has and customers clapping and yelling/stamping feet are likely to trip the limiter I think.
I am not prepared to compromise my show and effectively ruin the clients evening for which they are playing a large sum of money.
I have had too many of those in the past.
According to the paperwork--IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HIRER AND THE DISCO OPERATOR to ensure noise is kept to a reasonable level--I dont recall signing anything agreeing to that--our last run in with a Council ended with us refusing to sign their unacceptable Contract where they wanted up to accept ALL LIABILITIES and indemnify them in respect of ANYTHING to do with our Rodeo Bull---immediately invalidating our Insurance.
Anyway I will be going to the hall to test the limiter with my kit urgently and take it from there.
So anyone been there out of interest and any comments /feedback ?
Thanks in advance---
