I measured a PA last night at 95dB in front of the speaker and 93dB behind it - and was surprised it was so similar. I was trying to determine if I could tolerate being on stage with a PA system playing hard rock. (I have severe tinnitus & hyperacusis and want to determine if I should even dream about this.)
But if I put a rock band together as lead singer I would need as much quiet on stage as possible. I'm assuming the best speakers for that would be Bose L1. I'm assuming the quietest gain to still rock would be, what, 88dB? How much quieter would it be behind the speakers?
The drums would be electric and we'd all use in-ears, so I think the only peaking would come from the wall slapback and crowd noise. Thoughts?
