Sound

We are committed to comply with all legislation and guidelines covering permissible sound levels at outdoor events. This includes pre-event sound checking, as well as event day monitoring and management of noise levels to adjust according to the prevailing weather conditions (e.g. wind strength and direction). ​

Sound and projection testing will occur on Tuesday 26 November between 5.00 pm and 6.00 pm as well as between 7.00 pm and 10.00pm. Sound levels are expected to be the same as per screening nights.

Moonlight Cinema from time to time may conduct periodic sound testing between 10.00 am to 6.00 pm during the season to ensure the audio system is operating effectively.
