making sound better



cant hear the music from  outside of a  night club ,  even when standing   in front of it
this is why…

ergio Córdoba is a sound engineer from Spain who has patented a system that uses psychoacoustics to allow concert halls and nightclubs to boost their volume while still maintaining the same dBA. The invention is called Masn´live© and it’s basically a processor that, once inserted into any sound system, allows you to enjoy music at its intended quality without breaking any noise laws.

This theoretically allows you to crank the volume up without whiny neighbors or nearby businesses ever noticing. Could this be ultimate solution for party people everywhere? We sat Xergio down to ask.
VICE: How did you come up with this technology?
Xergio Córdoba: I came up with the idea a few years ago, when talking to a client who ran a nightclub. It can be quite difficult for a lot these places to run their businesses with the legal constraints surrounding decibel output. Acoustic emission regulations demand lower sound pressure levels and the sound quality deteriorates massively in order to restrict the emission of lower acoustic frequencies. Bad sound can really ruin the reputation of a business.

Don’t you think those regulations are helping to limit unnecessary and potentially damaging noise?
Well, the club business used to be a “no man’s land” where anything went. So of course lawmakers are doing the right thing by caring for the environment and taking people’s homes and businesses into account. That said, I think that developers and site owners need to do things right and begin checking out whether buildings and their surrounding environment are actually suited for a nightclub or not.
