Audio systems around Noisebridge. Most are part of Music guild, but there are also audio systems for everyone at Noisebridge to use for events or other times you want to play things aloud.

Sound Systems

The physical space has a number of sound systems in various rooms. Please be considerate of those around you when playing music in the space. Asking before blasting.

Musicians?

You can learn about musicians and specifics about music playing options over on Music Guild. This page is for sound systems.

Hackitorium

The downstairs Hackitorium doesn't have a permanent AV setup, but it does have special-event equipment including a projector and large speakers available for bigger gatherings. There's potential here: with a switcher and a tie-in to Beyla's output, we could recreate something like the old 2169 setup and give the space full audio routing for events. If you want to help make that happen, ask around or bring it up at a Tuesday meeting.

For historical info about the old permanent setup (HDMI switcher, Apple TV, SomaFM RPi) from 2169 Mission St, see Audio_2169.

RNA Lounge

The RNA Lounge (upstairs hackitorium) is served by KNOB, Noisebridge's internet radio station. The signal carries well into the adjacent hallways and provides decent coverage into the Electronics Lab too.

The old Hackitorium AV podium lives up here now, repurposed as a project enclosure for Noisebridge's FM radio transmitter, which broadcasts on 87.9 FM. The transmitter is off by default but can easily be switched on. Its antenna is mounted in the stairwell and has a range of roughly 2 blocks around the space.

Music Room

The Music Room is for making music — it's usually full of people playing instruments. Check Music for what's in there.

Wood Shop

No dedicated sound system at the moment.

Sewing Room

Usually kept quiet. Bring your own speaker, or leave the door open to catch Beyla from the hallway.

Drum Circle

Still no.

Be Considerate

"I have good taste."

—Mark, speaking for everyone ever's self assessment

Everyone likes their music but it isn't always a good idea to play loud music in the space.

  • Ask yourself if you would be content listening to your music yourself on headphones so other people can listen to theirs.
