    Academy sound system

    is it me or did anyone else think the clarity of the sound was absolutley diar, unless u were at the front u couldnt hear any quality whatso ever, not really ggs fault, more the academys fault, but the sound was way to loud as well, there was supposed to be a 4db decrease in club volumes to help preserve peoples hearing but that didnt seem to be the case now

    i suffer from very mild tinitus from listening to excessive loud sound levels, fine in the day but when i listen to absolute silence i have a very faint high pitched kHz ring but it has got a lot worse from saturday, i hope to god it dissapears cos its really anoying me, hearing hasnt got worse but the ring is constant

    hopefully it will die down and return to near normal, on net to buy some earplugs now, anyonwe know where u get the ones that mould to shape of ur ear, think there about £80 or somet

    booking a hospital appointment as well to see wat doc thinks about it all as well, and wat precautions he can offer me

    but i advise GG to speak to academy and get it sorted it for next gg, its not the first time some1 i know has damaged their hearing at that place

    if u take fabirs system for example, loud but extremely good clarity so the harmful frequencies dont damage ur hearing, u can talk to each other whithout shouting but it is still really loud

    how a system shud be set up

    The Prodigy gig was really loud. I remember trying to find my mates after and they left a message on my phone. I couldnt hear a thing they were saying coz my ears were ringing!
    I can get free ear plug foamy things from work, think I might be wearing these in the future!

    AND I TAKE IT YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE. IF YOU DID YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE POSSIBILITYS OF HAVING ONE OR THE OTHER IS SEVERLY SLIM. AS PASSIVE WILL SOUND DULL AND FLAT WERE AS ACTIVE WOULD SOUND BRIGHT AND ALERT!

    THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACADEMY IS IN THE ACOUSTICS. YOU'LL FIND THAT THE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE FRONT YOU ARE THE LESS THE SOUND IS AS EXCITING AS IT IS IN THE FRONT. THATS WHY AT GIGS IN THAT PLACE YOU NEED TO GO TO THE FRONT. THATS WHERE IT GETS GOOD. IF YOU WANT TO HANG AROUND THE BACK OR PROP UP THE BAR THEN ITS GOING TO BE SHIT.

    I THOUGHT THIS WAS CLEARLY APPARENT. OBVIOUSLY CRETINS DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT TURDS OR MUSIC HALL ACOUSTICS! NEVERMIND! I'LL GO BACK TO KUHNT MANOR AND JERK ONE OFF!

    Went to see the Complete Stone Roses at the Academy on Saturday (they were ace), and must say the acoustics did not sound great. Still overall decent venue - good for Newcastle.

    YOU DONT NEED TO USE GOOGLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PASSIVE AND ACTIVE. THE NAMES SAY IT ALL REALLY! MAYBE YOU DEGENERATES WOULD NEED TO USE GOOGLE BUT BEING A MAN OF SUPERIOR INTELIGENCE. . .I DONT!

    Re: Academy sound system

    Thats surely bollocks?! Loud music is loud music...harmful frequencies are harmful frequencies!

    I would go so far as to say its total shite, but won't just yet ;)

    I paid £16 for 200 pairs of industry standard -28dB earplugs and they work just fine!

    Intelligent people can either type without mistakes or edit posts after spotting the mistakes.
