Live
Sound Mixing within Legal Limits 
Live sound events should be enjoyable; a good quality
sound and an entertaining show are the foundation for this. It is
also important that the sound level does not cause discomfort or
damage to the audience’s hearing, nor disturb the neighbors. The XL2
Sound Level Meter is the professional sound level measuring solution
for such occasions.
The Projector PRO software
presents all live measured levels in the venue itself, in small or
large font (XL View), on a connected computer or tablet. The
software also advises the FOH how much headroom in sound level
capacity is available for the near future in case the next song
needs to be loud. In addition, the XL2 records all the levels,
required by law during a live sound event, in the audience area and
the neighborhood.
Quick Setup
The
Projector PRO software reads the measurement data from the connected
XL2 Sound Level Meter and compares it to the allowed event limits
(e.g. 99 dBA in Germany). The display is highlighted in green. If
the level is exceeded, the background changes to red, providing
clear, eye-catching visual status information to the mixer. With the
latest software extension, all parameters and limits can be saved in
a profile on the computer. Before the event starts, the FOH
technician simply selects the profile and the measurement starts
automatically. Operation of the XL2 directly is no longer necessary;
thus the meter can be stowed safely in the measuring case during the
entire event.
Live Sound Monitoring with XL2 and Projector
PRO
Optimized Levels in the Audience Area
The
Projector PRO software includes the SPL Predictor; this visualizes
the level history of the current measurement interval and looks into
the future by indicating how much time you have before the limit
light goes red. This provides a level of freedom in the mix; boost
that great guitar solo because you know there is a quiet song coming
next in the set list. The audience is never exposed to any risk of
hearing loss, and this can be proved in the measurement report,
which is available with a mouse-click immediately after the show.
Quiet neighborhood
A successful event
also includes compliance with the permitted noise levels in the
surrounding areas to satisfy the neighbors. The XL2 Sound Level
Meter allows for easy live monitoring of the noise level in the
neighborhood through a web browser to the NoiseScout platform. With
a 3G connection to the measuring device, the level values are
available live for monitoring directly at the mixing console. The
meter is operated online via the web browser.
The latest
Projector PRO software version V1.22 is freely available for
registered customers. The "XL View" and "SPL Predictor" functions
require that the "Remote Measurement Option" be installed on the
XL2.
