Wedding Next Week

Does this bass dangers apply for air traveling and driving a car as well?

I doubt it because you are not going to put the bass volume up that high while driving...i am talking about bass that you can feel the vibrations flow through your body. That is bad and I actually felt sorness in my bad ear at a wedding because of it. I put the volume up to like 80 - 85 db while driving with no issues (i am pretty sure that is the range but will double check). I will say that i never go beyond a range that i feel is comfortable.

I'm a wedding DJ & I can assure you 25 db ear plugs is overkill. You are going to have a hard time hearing your guests even with musician's plugs. Just get 15 db filters.

I setup my speakers angled in so it makes an apex on the dance floor. Meaning the majority of the sound is concentrated on the dance floor.

Bass or low frequency isn't as damaging as high frequency.

Also, go out on the dancefloor & have fun you will be fine with plugs 15 db and above.

I do sound checks during setup, i use a DB reader. I keep the dance floor around 87-90 DB. The levels that are set in an empty room compared to a filled room is different.

Obstructions, people absurb sound. I increase the gain accordingly.

You will be fine, it's not like you have a band playing.

Another trick I learned to make the music less harsh is to EQ the mids out more.

The middle frequency is within the same range as the human voice. When people say the music is to loud I'll trim the mids without bringing down the gain.

I used to keep the EQ at 12 o'clock on the mids. Now it's usually set at 7 or 8 o'clock.

Here is my question, does the hall have a high ceiling?
