[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 89107, member: 52"] Re: Line array for 1500 cap venue Evan, That's an improvement over your previous averages, when you said:“Normally my mixes average 103-108dBA, and 118-126dBC." Of course, the punters in the front rows are absorbing another 10+ dB over the position of your meter. Unfortunately, if you are not the only act, and you have also done a sound check, and been around a loud load in, you have already subjected yourself and the audience to levels that exceed OSHA's exposure level, and around 10 dB louder than the NIOSH levels. Exceeding those levels statistically cause hearing damage. With around a 50 dB noise induced hearing loss at 4000 Hz, I'm one of those fucking statistics. All about "good n' loud". dBA Slow OSHA (1998) 90 for 8 hours 92 for 6 hours 95 for 4 hours 97 for 3 hours 100 for 2 hours 102 for 1.5 hours 105 for 1 hour 110 for 1/2 hour 115 for 1/4 hour NIOSH (1998) 85 for 8 hours 90 for 2.5 hours 95 for 47 minutes 100 for 15 minutes Art [/QUOTE]
