It seems that every time we go to a musical performance at Baycourt we go to have our eardrums assaulted. Modern technology can produce excellent amplification but why does it need to be at maximum volume? Last night was yet another example. The Ten Tenors are gifted performers who put on a great show but it was spoiled by excessive volume.
I challenge Baycourt management to take some decibel readings and let the public know what they find because there is a Health and Safety issue here. I am sure that alot of the time the levels are well in excess of recommended safety guidelines.
Am I just a grumpy old man who walks out of a performance to save going prematurely deaf or stuffs bits of tissue in the ears to find a satisfactory sound level? Or do others find the same problem?
