Just had an email from our venue saying that they have had sound limiters installed in the main reception room and ballroom (where the disco will be). Having googled what they are, apparently if the sound goes above a certain level, all power to the music cuts out automatically. The venue is stand alone in the middle of nowhere so I was quite surprised they would need one. Someone has obviously complained for them to have to get one.
We aren't having a band but are having a wedding singer and DJ who I have forwarded the info to. Goole says something about bass levels etc which can trigger the sound limiter even if the music isn't particularly loud, so wondered if anyone here has come across them before and had any issues with them? Any horror stories of music having to be so quiet you couldn't hear it? OH is a rock fan - so whilst we don't want it so loud you can hear it miles away you want it being played at normal 'disco' levels to get everyone dancing. If people sing along too loudly can that trigger them too? My step dad "has got a right gob on him" as we would say in Yorkshire!!
I've probably been to places before with them and not realised they are there so I'm not overly concerned - just wondering if I should be!
