NECTR SOUND CAMP POLICIES

NECTRs sound policies are a work in progress and are based on a combination of experience from previous events, feedback from neighbors and landowners, and the best judgement of the sound core and all attendees. Refer to the following sound policies in planning your music and sound installations.

Please understand if you are asked to turn down a bit earlier or a bit lower than you’d like, that it is for the betterment of NECTR as a whole. By enacting this policy in the first place, we hope to keep this a happy, music-filled, complaint-free burn.

1. Sound must never be over 90 dB SPL (C-weighted) outside the immediate vicinity of a sound camp (i.e. off the dance floor)
2. After 10pm:  Dedicated high powered subwoofers should be kept low
3. After midnight:  Sound should be lowered and Subwoofers should be off
4. Sound should remained lowered and Subwoofers should remain off until 10am
5. Speakers must be directed as indicated by the map/sound core
6. Sound core might ask you to turn things down earlier if asked by the landowners.

Since NECTR is small and we don’t have a lot of room for sound camps and since we have neighbors with delicate ear drums we are asking sound camps to be specifically placed this year.
Please fill this out if you want to be placed as a camp that has amplified sound.
Camps that do not fill this out might be asked to turn their sound off/down.

Recent feedback from neighbors in the area means that the policy is changing slightly from last year. Sound core and other core leads will also be investigating the need for further changes during the event, which may or may not affect how sound is to be governed at NECTR going forward. We sincerely hope that all participants understand the need for these changes and will cooperate with us to keep this event alive for years to come.
