Autonomous audio.
A field pilot for venue sound-level monitoring and control, with configurable limits, professional audio integrations, and human oversight.
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
AEGIS can integrate with Q-SYS, Powersoft, or OSC control paths. Any adjustment remains visible to the operator and depends on the validated installation profile.
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 runs on a Mac Mini M2 with a Tauri desktop app. The Rust core handles audio capture, real-time analysis, protocol communication with Q-SYS and Powersoft hardware, and the decision engine loop.
A Python ML sidecar provides computer vision via YOLOv8 for people counting. The system can operate fully offline, with optional cloud sync through Supabase for multi-venue management.
Capabilities
Designed around real venue operations and professional audio requirements.
Occupancy-aware adjustment
Computer vision counts people. Audio adjusts to match crowd density.
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
Direct control of Q-SYS and Powersoft systems. No additional hardware in the signal chain.
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 |
