Sound Pressure Levels
Due to the potential volume levels available with our FOH system that may come into the building with a show, MFAC has adopted a very strict policy regarding SPL. The following maximum db level restrictions have been set for the protection of our audience members, crew, and artists. At no time shall the maximum A-weighted SPL ever reach above 110db at the Center of the House (COH) in row “EE.” MFAC reserves the right to direct their Head Audio Engineer or his designate to reduce system levels to remain within acceptable SPLs.
| A-weight SPL @ COH | Maximum Time |
| 95db 97db 100db 102db |
4 hours 2 hours 1 hour 30 minutes |
Audio Challenges in the Turpin-Lamb Theatre
The Turpin-Lamb Theatre was designed primarily for vocal and instrumental naturally driven acoustic events.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the acoustic design of the front of the house, we strongly discourage the placing of speaker stacks on the stage, as excessive echo slap-back occurs, severely hindering intelligibility.
