CUEPOINT · Sound safety check

Sound safety check

Check the sound level history of an event against limit and guide values, estimate the noise exposure of staff and roughly check the stability of ground-stacked loudspeakers. Flown or suspended systems are outside the scope of this tool.

1 · Sound level history in the audience area

Take values from a calibrated measurement; sections in chronological order.

Assessment audience

2 · Noise exposure of staff

In practice the effective attenuation is below the nominal value (SNR) of the hearing protection; use a value based on the manufacturer's data and the workplace assessment.

Assessment staff

3 · Stability of a loudspeaker stack

Assessment stack

The result is a rough estimate for level, load-bearing ground and static load. It does not replace an assessment by a competent person on site.
