Investigating the use of sound level management software in live indoor music venues

摘要

As part of a larger study of sound (pressure) levels in small and midsized live music venues, the effect of using sound level management software (10EaZy), on sound exposure levels of patrons and staff was investigated. Overall, no reduction in sound level exposure was observed, however, results suggest that use of 10EaZy led to significantly less time spent at higher volumes as measured for loud performances.
