There are two distinct types of noise limiter:Noise Limiter Definition
A device designed to ensure that noise levels remain within a preset limit. Usually music from live bands or DJs but also industrial processes.
The purpose of a noise or sound limiter is to prevent noise nuisance to members of the public or to safeguard against possible damage to employees hearing.
Also known as Sound Limiter, Noise Limiting Device or Noise Control System.
1. Power Cut Noise Limiter
Buy this if you allow DJs or bands to bring their own sound equipment into your venue.
• Monitors sound levels using a built in or external microphone.
• Clearly indicates the music volume level in real time.
• Cuts power from sound equipment after 10 seconds if your chosen maximum sound level is exceeded
• Power is reconnected after 10 seconds . . . [Find Out More] This style of sound
limiter can be used in almost any situation but is usually the only viable solution when
bands or mobile DJs bring their own equipment to your premises. If you own or
manage a pub, bar, village hall or other establishment where live music is
played you can safeguard your licence and avoid the possibility of large fines
by ensuring that musicians plug their equipment into a power socket controlled
by a noise limiting device of this type. Sanction noise limiters will usually need to be
fitted by a professional electrician as mains voltage connections are involved.
The Lime NLX (v2.2) is set to become the new industry standard product in this category. Also
available in a portable version for use in marquees or other temporary locations -

This type of noise control system is usually only suitable if the sound system or at
least the power amplifier is permanently installed in the venue. A device which is connected between the mixer or sound source, a karaoke machine or CD player for example,
and the main power amplifier. The unit continually monitors the sound level
(preferably using a separate microphone) and reduces the volume if a preset limit is exceeded. The Lime Technologies VCX
featured below is the latest noise limiting device of this type, matching the quality of the
industry standard Formula Sound AVC2D but at a lower price. Occasionally this type of product is referred to as a compressor / limiter,
however compressor / limiters ruin sound quality and usually are unable to limit noise levels to a particular decibel setting. Consequently Lime
Technologies recommend that compressor limiters should be avoided.

and with virtually zero installation cost, the Lime Technologies ILX Noise Level Indicator
monitors sound levels using a built in microphone and displays the level relative to your
preselected maximum. Also useful for industrial premises to indicate when hearing
protection should be worn.
• Quick & simple to install (no mains wiring required)

Legislation provides that as from 1 October
2006, local authorities have been able to issue fixed penalty notices in the
region of £500 to the person in charge of the premises at the time of any noise
complaint. This could be the license holder, manager or any other employee.
This is in addition to their existing
powers to serve noise abatement notices and review premises licenses.
Most local authorities and environmental
health officers require the installation
of an electronic noise limiting device in village halls, pubs, bars, clubs, restaurants, health clubs and
other entertainment venues to minimise complaints regarding noise pollution. Many schools and
colleges also fit a noise limiter in music department practice rooms in order to protect students
from possible hearing damage.
