Two leading live-sound system manufacturers, L-Acoustics and d&b audiotechnik, have partnered with SoundPLAN to establish the System Design Exchange (SDE) standard, aimed at improving noise management at large events. This new standard provides a unified method for predicting noise emissions across different sound systems, addressing challenges related to noise pollution that have become increasingly relevant, especially in light of recent legal disputes over concert noise levels. The collaboration is significant as it enhances the ability of venues to meet environmental regulations while maintaining high-quality sound experiences for audiences.
