Excessive Sound Exposure on Stage
Placing a large number of instruments on stage will inherently result in a very loud condition on stage. The situation is very critical for a profession which depends so heavily on hearing. As musicians’ groups evaluate the working conditions of being subject to this loud sound level for many hours, there is some question as to how the acoustician can improve the situation. Unfortunately, this is an issue that is mostly independent of the room acoustics. While we do put considerable effort into reflecting sound back to stage to provide acoustic support to the musicians, these do not affect the sound level on stage nearly as much as the direct sound of the instruments.
