Music Noise

• Clubs, bars and entertainment venues
• Dealing with complaints from local residents
• Cuts the power when the sound levels are too high

The need for loud music in an entertainment venue can result in "noise" outside, which will not be appreciated by local residents. The most common way to control this noise problem is to install a Music Noise Controller, which will cut the power to the amplifier and related equipment when a preset sound level has been exceeded for a given period of time.

Using the Sentry

The Sentry is simply there to stop the DJ or live band from exceeding the specified limit. In normal use (sound level within limits!) the green lights will indicate the current level and there will be no intervention.

When the sound levels are too high, first the yellow and then the red indicators will show. If this happens briefly then the Sentry will ignore it. If the level is exceeded for 20 seconds (this default period is adjustable from 10 to 70 seconds) then the power to the audio equipment will be cut off and need to be manually reset.

For more details about installing the Sentry and setting up the level please visit the Installation page.

Green lights show normal levels. If the red lights show for more than 20 seconds then the power is cut.
