Deurne (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – OLT Rivierenhof in Deurne has installed a new sound system ahead of the summer concert season, aiming to reduce noise nuisance for local residents.
As a result, there should be reduced noise pollution for park visitors and walkers.
“We have to keep the volume under control in this green park environment”, it sounds.
Loyal fans may blank”>notice a slight change in sound as Icelandic electronic duo Kiasmos kicks off the summer concert season on Wednesday, June 11 at the outdoor theater in Deurne’s Rivierenhof. According to ATV, a new sound system is presently being tested.
“Techies will definitely hear it,” confirms Dieter Sermeus of the OLT. “We always try to create a good impact, without unnecessarily turning up the volume. The music must still be clearly and sharply audible.”
“This system is quite unique. It is the first time in our country that it will be used in this context of an open-air theatre.”
The province of Antwerp, Belgium, and the OLT Rivierenhof’s administration plan to keep making investments in the outdoor theater in the upcoming years.
“We would like to give the old grandstand a makeover and renew the electricity.”
How does the new sound system at OLT Rivierenhof reduce neighbor nuisance?
By regulating the direction, loudness, and dispersion of sound during activities, the new sound system at OLT Rivierenhof is especially built to lessen annoyance for nearby residents.
Modern venue sound systems limit sound overflow into nearby residential areas by focusing audio toward the audience using cutting-edge technologies like digital sound processing and highly directional speakers.
This focused strategy guarantees that announcements and music are understandable and entertaining for guests while drastically reducing the noise levels that neighbors must put up with.
The technique aids in preventing excessive noise pollution, a frequent cause of complaints in urban settings, by restricting the spread of amplified sound outside the venue’s bounds.
