OSHA Noise Standards and FIRST Events

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Thanks Ed.

As you probably know already, the systems hung in normal events (and the Champs appeared to be using most of the same hardware) has a fairly wide horizontal dispersion. In the configuration that is normally hung, I am guessing it is on the high side of 100 degrees. Unfortunately, in a stadium, with a standard SLM, it is difficult to identify direct to reverberant fields. I would suspect that most of the noise from the other fields is as you suspect, reflections from the open areas of bare seats and concrete.
