Re: Competition volume

FIRST definitely sees this issue and is looking at what could fix it, but it is really up to the Regional's EM and VC to keep the volume at a reasonable level. PNW recieves many complaints about the sounds, ranging from what is being played to how loud it is. During week 2, the TD and I spent a bit of time finding the optimal loudness of the speakers from the closest and furthest points in the stands. We measured 80-85 dBa, based on the size of the venue, to be the optimal level. We then tested what would happen if we lowered the volume to like 70. In short, don't do it. It kills the atmosphere of the event. Even songs like YMCA could only revive the crowd for so long.
