Do you or your patients ever wonder why live music concerts are “so loud?” Live sound systems engineer, instructor, podcast host, technical writer/editor and author Michael Lawrence dives deeply into conversation with Laura Sinnott and Heather Malyuk. He describes life on tour, how he and his team at Rational Acoustics were awarded the 2022 Safe in Sound award by the National Hearing Conservation Association, and his mission to bring to light the moral responsibility of live sound engineers to exploit modern audio technology in order to achieve a stellar-sounding sound mix that won’t bash the outer hair cells of the audience, crew and musicians.   

You can find him co-hosting the Signal to Noise podcast from Pro Sound Web, teaching people about Smaart SPL sound level monitoring software, and order his new book Between the Lines here.
