Know What Is Happening During Your Events

Monitoring turns sound from something you argue about afterwards into something you can see while it is happening. It supports the people running the event as much as it supports the venue's records.

(a) What monitoring offers

Operational information, in real time

Live levels

Visibility of sound levels in the spaces that matter, while the event is running.

Zone awareness

Separate views for indoor and outdoor areas, or for simultaneous event spaces.

Trend over the night

How levels develop from dinner through to the late party.

Records

Retained data that can provide useful documentation where appropriate.

Staff workflow

Simple indicators the duty manager or DJ can act on without interpretation.

Review

Periodic review of the recorded data with recommendations for the season ahead.

Please note

Monitoring provides operational information and, where configured appropriately, a record of measured levels. It does not by itself constitute regulatory approval and it cannot prevent complaints. Its value lies in allowing a venue to manage events responsibly and to discuss sound with neighbours and authorities on the basis of data.
