このエピソードについて
We're back in episode 3 of season 6!
In this episode, we tackle the unexciting but crucial topic of sound restrictions at your wedding venue. We chat about sometimes strict noise rules are becoming the norm due to complaints from neighbors in high-density areas and EPA limits in more regional locations (like the Yarra Valley).
We break down the different forms these restrictions take, from mandatory in-house sound systems that may lack clarity to the dreaded "sound limiter" - a device that can cut the power if the volume gets too loud (eek!), potentially killing the vibe and even damaging equipment...!
To help you navigate this, we chat about the importance of raising the sound issue before booking, suggest you use AI tools to scan contracts for hidden decibel limits and ask to hear in-house systems at actual "dance floor volume".
We also share some unique workarounds professional DJs use, such as cutting bass frequencies that travel through walls, using "satellite" speakers to spread sound, and adding "foldback" monitors to boost volume on the dance floor without tripping venue sensors.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
