Supervised venue audio.
A pilot for venue sound-level monitoring and control, with configurable limits, an implemented Q-SYS integration, and human oversight. Powersoft and OSC support are planned.
A hard operational balance
Venues face a constant tension: music loud enough to create atmosphere, quiet enough to avoid fines. Current solutions force a choice between compliance and experience.
Power cut-off limiters kill the music mid-set, damage equipment, and frustrate performers. SPL monitors tell you when you've already exceeded the limit. Staff adjust levels based on guesswork, and turnover means retraining every few months.
The result: noise complaints, fines, license threats, and no data to diagnose what went wrong.
How AEGIS works
Monitor
Computer vision can estimate occupancy while calibrated microphones measure SPL across the frequency spectrum. Operators see what the system is measuring.
Analyze
The pilot correlates occupancy, ambient noise, time of day, and historical patterns to estimate when levels are approaching configured limits.
Adapt
Q-SYS is the implemented control path. Powersoft and OSC drivers are unfinished and are not available as working integrations. Adjustments depend on a validated installation profile and remain visible to the operator.
Protect
Configurable hard limits and spectral processing aim to reduce the risk of overshoot without using an abrupt power cut. Hardware validation is still part of the pilot.
Report
Continuous logs and historical reports support operational review. They do not by themselves certify legal compliance or replace calibrated procedures.
In practice
Built for professional audio
A platform designed around existing professional audio infrastructure.
The edge node uses a Tauri desktop app. Its Rust core handles audio capture, analysis, the implemented Q-SYS protocol path, and the decision loop. Powersoft and OSC drivers are planned work, not supported deployment options.
The Python vision sidecar uses YOLO11m with SAHI and tracking support. Local operation and optional cloud coordination are separate paths; hardware, venue calibration, and performance must be validated for each pilot.
Capabilities
Designed around real venue operations and professional audio requirements.
Occupancy-aware adjustment
The vision sidecar estimates occupancy to inform the configured control policy. Accuracy and venue behavior require pilot validation.
Spectral limiting
Frequency-aware processing preserves clarity while reducing level. Not a power cut — transparent limiting.
Jurisdiction profiles
Configurable profiles can represent venue and jurisdiction limits; each deployment still requires local validation.
Native DSP integration
Q-SYS control is implemented. Powersoft and OSC are planned; their unfinished drivers must not be used as supported control paths.
Predictive operation
The pilot learns venue patterns and proposes or applies pre-adjustments within the configured control policy.
Multi-venue dashboard
Monitor all installations from one interface. Alerts, diagnostics, remote control.
Offline resilience
Continues operating if network drops. Syncs when reconnected.
Automatic reporting
Operational logs are generated continuously and can be exported for review.
Profiles for local validation
The pilot includes starting profiles for several European regulatory contexts. They must be reviewed against the venue, calibrated hardware, current local rules, and operating procedures before use.
| Jurisdiction | Regulation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Italy | DPCM 215/1999 | Profile · validation required |
| France | Decree 2017-1244 | Profile · validation required |
| Belgium | VLAREM II | Profile · validation required |
| Switzerland | V-NISSG | Profile · validation required |
| Germany | TA Larm | Profile · validation required |
