Sound propagation tips from festival engineer Shan Hira

Learn how professional live sound engineer Shan Hira uses noise propagation techniques to reduce volume in festival settings in this Learn From The Pros guest lecture.

Noise or sound propagation is the process of measuring sound in a specific location and applying techniques that aid or abet the transmission of sound waves through an environment. Noise or sound propagation is a theory that is essential for live sound engineers to know, especially in a festival environment, as it ensures that volume is controlled so that rules and regulations can be followed.

Shan Hira is a world-renowned live sound engineer who joined our students in dBs Manchester to explain noise propagation and how to keep live shows loud without upsetting the neighbours in a residential area.
