L'homogénéité des niveaux sonores ne peut exister que dans le cadre d'une multidiffusion extrêmement importante. La loi de la décroissance du son (atténuation de 6 dB, à chaque doublement de la distance, dans un espace non réverbérant) signifie dans cette salle que, pour obtenir 105 dB à la console en fond de salle, il faut avoir 125 dB en sortie de baffles. Ce qui fait, pour le premier spectateur placé à 4 mètres, un bon 113 dB. Pression sonore dangereuse pour les oreilles dès lors qu'elle est permanente durant tout le temps d'un concert. 3, record 6, French, - d%C3%A9croissance%20du%20son
