How to take the headache out of complying with decibel levels limits
Nightclubs and venues are currently being targeted as part of a campaign to examine compliance of the Workplace Health & Safety Act dealing with Decibel Levels. Over the last 12 months, 15 venues on the Gold Coast alone, have lost their operating licence because they did not comply with the required standards.The good news is - setting and managing your decibel levels, has never been easier! JVG Sound has a range of processed audio products to automate and manage decibel limits to suit every budget.
Venues with Multiple Music Zones
Most venues have a DSP system running straight from the source or amplifier. Ideally, you need processed audio that runs through all the music zones. Processed audio systems with Real Time Clocks need to be in a digital format to allow you to set compression limits for different zones, programmed to automatically deploy at designated times and decibel levels.For example, you can use Processed Audio to program the following solution:
Daytime: Level limit set to 80Db6pm to 9pm: Increase the limit to 100Db
9pm to 1am: Ramped up to 110Db
1am: Limit dropped down to 85Db
The real benefits of Processed Audio are non-tangible and translate into productivity improvement and reduced exposure to risk to be fully appreciated. Processed audio systems mitigate risk through automation of decibel levels and consequently reduces exposure to penalties under OHS Regulations.
