Re: Competition volume
At the Great Lakes Bay Region District this year, several teams from an area of the stands complained about high sound levels due to a speaker that was positioned directly behind them on the second floor walkway. We (the A/V crew at the event) could only turn the volume down slightly, as lowering it further would create issues for spectators in other areas of the gym.
We couldn't relocate the speaker because of limited cable length, and since the speakers were daisy chained, removing it would cut off every speaker past it in the chain too. Eventually we alleviated the issue by rotating the speaker about 90 degrees (pointing it down the 2nd floor walkway rather than out over the edge of it), but it served as a good reminder to us for future events to always have someone checking where and how the guy that drops off the sound equipment places and hooks things up.
