We are responsible not just for our own hearing health, but for that of everyone in the venue: stage performers, staff, and audience. We have to rise to the challenge, because we are the only ones that can implement safe listening in an artistic way, balancing the loudness budget with the dramaturgic and emotional needs of a performance. The alternative are automated limiters that do not care about art, or, depending on jurisdiction and even less desirable, immediate cancellation of the concert by the authorities. (English)

Wir sind nicht nur für unsere eigene Hörgesundheit verantworlich, sondern auch für die aller Bühnenakteure, Mitarbeiter und Zuschauer. Wir müssen uns dieser Herausfoderung stellen, denn wir sind die einzigen, die sicheres Hören auf künstlerische Weise realisieren können, indem wir das begrenzte Schallpegelbudget mit den dramaturgischen und emotionalen Anforderungen einer Darbietung in Einklang bringen. Die Alternative sind automatische Begrenzer, die sich nicht um die Kunst scheren, oder, je nach Rechtssprechung und noch weniger wünschenswert, der sofortige Abbruch eines Konzerts durch die Behörden.
