Problem Statement
We are often hired for outdoor concerts and festivals. In these situations, we need to consider the community and local residents. Local authorities frequently impose rules that we are not entirely comfortable with. Because of this, we don’t really know what to expect for each event because the rules change each time. How can we provide a good experience without causing noise pollution?
The Solution
Maarten Lokven of Mojo explains why he engaged Event Acoustics and the solutions they offered:
“We engaged Event Acoustics for Lowlands, among other events. At Lowlands, we often face the problem of not knowing which tent is causing a nuisance. The municipality wants us to address these nuisances as soon as possible, but that is not always easy. Previously, we would reduce the sound levels everywhere, which often led to audience frustration. Thus, we were always caught in the middle. Event Acoustics was able to use their knowledge and techniques to identify which tent was causing the nuisance, allowing us to lower the volume there while the other tents could continue as usual.”
Unique Knowledge
“Peter and Kees possess extensive and broad knowledge when it comes to acoustics and sound. With this expertise, they can develop sound designs that are truly effective for us. Their advice and techniques enable us to operate within standards without compromising the sound experience.
Their MeTrao system is so incredibly unique, allowing us to continue even at night without causing a nuisance. With this system, we can instruct one stage to increase volume while another stage reduces it. This is exactly what we need, as we want everything to function optimally. As a result, Event Acoustics now handles all of our concerts and festivals. They not only provide sound control but also support and instruct the technicians present, ensuring everyone can perform their jobs properly. This way, visitors, local residents, and the municipality are satisfied.”
