Abstract
Amplified music outdoors poses many challenges in regard to sound abatement and requires a multi-disciplinary approach that includes sound system design and monitoring, programming considerations, architectural and landscaping sound control elements, and conditions for outdoor sound propagation including atmospheric, ground impedance, barrier and topographic effects. An interdisciplinary study was performed on the Brushy Creek Amphitheater in Hutto, Texas involving a local sound reinforcement company, audio equipment manufacturer, a local acoustical consulting firm, and a national atmospheric research group. This paper will provide the elements and findings of a multi-disciplinary investigation to minimize impact of a newly located amphitheater on the local community.
