Hi,

so, some customers are asking for earplugs at a live event. (sometimes
including children)
As sound engineer, I feel it is my duty to do what I can and provide them
when requested.


Interesting

and I agree, I tend to wear earplugs because the mids and highs are too loud, sometimes painfully loud, but the bass is fine.

So the plugs work well because they attenuate the mids and highs and leave the bass alone.

I would not mind if the mix was adjusted to keep the bass very loud but cut down the mids and highs. The promoters might accept that, I'm pretty sure the audience would. Then w could listen without the ear plugs.
