[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 100582, member: 30"] Re: Do you interpret "required SPL" on riders as A or C weighting? I've a couple of shows with Evan-and yes-the girls can get quite loud. HOWEVER-you don't always have to "get over" the screaming. If you actually did that-the levels would be insanely loud-and dangerous. Normal audio guys would not stand in front of the sub-yet there were girls there all night long. If it was a good bit louder-there would be some serious damage impared upon them. I think part of the screaming is simply part of the "show" and it is not constant. I bet if you asked any of the girls how it sounded (or any of the fans at the early Beatles shows in which you did not hear anything-I bet most would say the show was great and did not care. We do have to look at practical situations. Last night at an EDM show we did-I was asked a couple of times to turn down the subs. The first time was because ceiling tiles were falling down in several areas of the venue-and the second request was from an EDM producer/engineer who felt the sound was a bit bass heavy and felt it would be better with less bass. All in all I turned the subs (2) down (FOR AN EDM EVENT???????????????) about 7dB. And nobody complained. It is not always about SPL. [/QUOTE]
