Item Summary/Recommendation :
Activation of the bandshell itself was one of the most mentioned action items during North Beach Revitalization public input
meetings. The public indicated that the bandshell is a special and unique attraction in North Beach and it should be a prominent
feature utilized to provide entertainment to the residents of the area and to attract visitors to the area.
The Mayor's Blue Ribbon Panel on North Beach recommended the City to maintain more control over bandshell sound. This would
include an effort to acquire, install, and maintain a house sound system at the bandshell and a review of other measures that would
direct sound away from neighboring properties or absorb the sound before reaching these properties.
To that end, the City contracted with Edward Dugger and Associates, P.A. (EDA) for architectural acoustic and audio video system
consulting services. EDA conducted site visits and reviewed architectural plans for the facility to develop a sound modeling test and
a preliminary recommended audio system equipment configuration. This configuration was then used for a live test during a
concert produced by the Rhythm Foundation on November 7 and 8. Following the test the modeling and equipment list were
finalized (Attached, Exhibit 1). The final report included modifications following the observation experienced during the test.
The recommended subwoofer and line array approach will significantly reduce the acoustic impact to the surrounding commercial
and residential properties. EDA also recommends that the audio levels for the whole audio system be set at a maximum level of
105 dBC and suggests including a Studio Six Digital SPL Traffic Light program at the in-house mix position. EDA also noted that not
all of the sound created in the audience area by the crowd and the audio system is completely absorbed by this acoustic treatment.
The upper levels of the Burleigh House and St. Tropez will hear the unabsorbed sound reflected (high frequency sound spectrum)
off the rear curved wall. Ultimately, the sound system recommended by EDA will significantly reduce noise intrusion, especially the
bass, experienced by the residents of the neighboring properties. However, it is virtually impossible to prevent all sound intrusion.
Sound Equipment Policy
Based on the results and recommendations of EDA the City Administration recommends requiring all future users of the bandshell,
including Rhythm Foundation as part of their Management Agreement, to use a new house sound system as specified by EDA.
Purchase of Audio Visual Equipment
Pursuant to the City's ongoing contract for audio visual services, the Procurement Department requested quotes, from all pre-
qualified contractors, forthe purchase and installation of AV Equipmentatthe No(h Shore Band, as specified by EDAfollowing the
sound modeling and test. The request for quotes resulted in one response from Pro Sound, lnc. (Quote is attached). EDA has
reviewed cost proposal and confirmed that it meets the requirements of the specifications as developed. Based upon the foregoing,
the City Manager is recommending that the City furnish, install, test and equalize an audio and visual system meeting the
specifications of the House Sound System for the Bandshell, and further recommends that the City Commission authorize a waiver
of and allow the Administration to a contract with Pro Sound. lnc. to said work.
The Mayor's Blue Ribbon Panel on North Beach recommended in favor of a house sound system for the North Shore Bandshell to
noise impacts to the surroundinq residential buildinqs.

Funding is available in Resort Tax Contingency to immediately fund this purchase. However,
the intention is to fund this from North Beach Quality of Life Funds, which requires a capital

BACKGROUND
Activation of the Bandshell itself was one of the most mentioned action items during North
Beach Revitalization public input meetings. The public indicated that the Bandshell is a special
and unique attraction in North Beach and it should be a prominent feature utilized to provide
entertainment to the residents of the area and to attract visitors to the area.
To this end, the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Panel on North Beach recommended the City first procure
a firm to manage the Bandshell and be responsible for programming of the venue. Currently the
venue is a rental facility available to anyone who wishes to pay the rental fee or to those
providing free performances to the public. With an entity managing the facility and seeking
261

performers that will provide a diversity of entertainment and musical genres, the Bandshell will
become a performance venue with appeal to a wider audience. Additionally, with a
management entity in place, more control of performances is expected that will insure
performances do not extend beyond the allowed time. On September 10, 2014, the City
Commission approved Resolution No. 2014-28722 authorizing the Administration to enter into
negotiations with the Rhythm Foundation, lnc. for management of the Bandshell pursuant to
lnvitation to Negotiate No. 2014-21s-LR.
The second item is for the City to maintain more control over Bandshell sound. This would
include an effort to acquire, install, and maintain a House Sound System at the Bandshell and a
review of other measures that would direct sound away from neighboring properties or absorb
the sound before reaching these properties. Currently renters of the facility generally bring and
set up their own sound systems which are set up with no regard to sound effects on neighbors.
There are no sound barriers in the park that would deflect or absorb sound currently either.
These two initiatives should make the Bandshell not only a more vibrant venue, but a much
better neighbor to nearby residential properties.
Acoustic and AudioA/isual Consultant
To that end, the City contracted with Edward Dugger and Associates, P.A. (EDA) for
architectural acoustic and audio video system consulting services, through the City's ongoing
contract for acoustical consulting services. EDA conducted site visits and reviewed architectural
plans for the facility to develop a sound modeling test and a preliminary recommended audio
system equipment configuration. This configuration was then used for a live test during a
concert produced by the Rhythm Foundation. The equipment was installed and tested on
November 7 and 8. EDA placed microphones, decibel meters and recorders at various
locations in and around the facility. He also placed equipment on two (2) balconies at the
Burleigh House and one at the St. Tropez Condominium. Following the test the modeling and
equipment list were finalized (Attached, Exhibit 1). The final report included modifications
following the observation experienced during the test.
The recommended subwoofer and line aray apptoach will significantly reduce the acoustic
impact to the surrounding commercial and residential properties. EDA also recommends that
the audio levels for the whole audio system be set at a maximum level of 105 dBC and suggests
including a Studio Six Digital SPL Traffic Light program at the in-house mix position. This
program allows Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) to be monitored and will display green, yellow
and red lights when sound exceeds pre-established levels. This software will also generate level
over time graphs and a recording of the event so that at any given point any noise can be
isolated and identified on the recording (all recommendations are collectively referred to herein
as the "House Sound System").
It is also important to note that the windows in the Burleigh Condo, 7135 Collins Avenue, are
original to the building's construction and do not offer any hurricane protection. Most newer
building, like the St. Tropez immediately to the north of the North Shore Bandshell have impact
resistant windows that in addition to their hurricane protection also significantly reduce the
amount of sound within a condo unit from exterior noises. EDA stated that he spoke to several
residents at the St. Tropez who have noted that the Bandshell noise levels are perceived as not
loud and easily resolved by closing their windows. The St. Tropez is the same distance from the
Bandshell as the Burleigh Condo. EDA reviewed the windows at the Burleigh house and
estimated Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating is around 10 with the windows closed.
lmpact windows, properly installed, typically offer an STC rating in the 35 to 45 range.
262

EDA also noted that not all of the sound created in the audience area by the crowd and the
audio system is completely absorbed by this acoustic treatment. The upper levels of the
Burleigh House and St. Tropez will hear the unabsorbed sound reflected (high frequency sound
spectrum) off the rear curved wall. Another contributing factor that will influence sound is wind
speed and direction. During the test the wind conditions were <5 mph and out of the NE. This is
very unusual for the Miami area with the winds typically 10 to 20 mph and from the SE. The low
wind condition also increased the amount of sound being heard at the Burleigh House and St.
Tropez Ocean Condos.
Ultimately, the sound system recommended by EDA will significantly reduce noise intrusion,
especially the bass, experienced by the residents of the neighboring properties. However, it is
virtually impossible to prevent all sound intrusion.
Purchase of Audio Visual Equipment
Pursuant to the City's ongoing contract for audio visual services, the Procurement Department
requested quotes, from all pre-qualified contractors, for the purchase and installation of AV
Equipment at the North Shore Band, as specified by EDA following the sound modeling and
test. The request for quotes resulted in one response from Pro Sound, lnc. (Quote is attached).
EDA has reviewed cost proposal and confirmed that it meets the requirements of the
specifications as developed.
Pro Sound, lnc. was founded in Miami, Florida with an affiliate office located in Orlando, serving
the United States. The company started business in 1975 to service live entertainment shows
for the audio and theatrical lighting aspects of the performances. The company provides
services to sports facilities, convention centers, hotels, nightclubs, theaters, meeting facilities,
houses of worship, courtrooms, corporate boardrooms, schools, hospitals, universities and
government facilities among others. The company's predominant area of operations is the
Southeastern United States, with a representative amount of business conducted in the
Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central and South America.
Pro Sound, lnc. designed and installed all the equipment in SoundScape Park, which is a state
of the art system that has been very well received by the public.
Based upon the foregoing, the City Manager is recommending that the City furnish, install, test
and equalize an audio and visual system meeting the specifications of the House Sound System
for the Bandshell, and further recommends that the City Commission authorize a waiver of
competitive bidding requirements and allow the Administration to negotiate a contract with Pro
Sound, lnc. to complete said work.
Sound Equipment Policv
Additionally, based on the results and recommendations of EDA the City Administration
recommends requiring all future users of the Bandshell, including Rhythm Foundation, as part of
their Management Agreement, to use a House Sound System as specified by EDA. lf adopted,
users will NOT be permitted to rent and bring temporary sound equipment for any event in the
Bandshell. Therefore, the City Administration recommends procuring a House Sound System
for the facility and has requested quotes for the EDA specified system. During the time it takes
to procure and install a new sound system, the Administration recommends requiring users to
rent the EDA specified equipment instead of alternate equipment. The following are the
recommended operational rules, which would be incorporated into The Rhythm Foundation

The Administration recommends the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,
Florida, approve the Resolution accepting the recommendation of the City Manager to waive
competitive bidding requirements and allow the Administration to negotiate with Pro Sound, lnc.
to furnish, install, test and equalize an audio and visual system for the North Shore Bandshell in
an amount estimated at $240,000.
The Administration further recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve a
Resolution approving and adopting the operational guidelines set forth herein for the North

Edward Dugger + Associates (ED+A) was on site for the Caparezza concert at the
North Shore Bandshell on the 8th of November and based on that event have the
following recommendations for the Audio Video System improvements.
The concert ran at a sound level typically between 90 to 95 dBA with the occasional
peak at 97 dBA. The ambient sound level along Collins Avenue before and after the
concert was around 60 to 65 dBA with occasional peaks of 80 with loud cars and
trucks and 95 with ambulances/fire trucks going by. The sound level on the
Penthouse Level of the Burleigh House ran between L90 = 48 dBA and 110 = 62
dBA for the same time period. L90 and L10 are values that represent the sound level
that is exceeded for g0% and 10% of the measurement duration. They typically
represent background (L90) and peak (L10) levels respectively. See sound level
graphs measured at the Band Shell and on the Burleigh House balcony on the
following page.

Subwoofer Configuration
The nature of the sound generated by the subwoofers in a large audio system allows
the low frequency sound to travel further and affect structures more efficiently than
the mid and high frequencies. Typically, at low frequencies (100 Hz and below) the
sound radiates from the subwoofer (which typically range from 30 to 125 Hz) in all
directions evenly, it is omni-directional. The location of the bandshell in relation to the
other nearest residential buildings means that special measures need to be taken to
manipulate this low frequency sound so that it is not bothersome to the residents in
those buildings. ln lmage 1 below, it is clear that a single subwoofer will direct sound

By adding another subwoofer behind the original source subwoofer and reversing its
phase, the low frequency sound radiating from the rear of the subwoofer is cancelled
creating a cardioid throw pattern for the subwoofer. This is a very common approach
to low frequency cancellation, however this rear cancellation is not enough, as the
sides of the cardioid throw pattern are still reaching and affecting the residential
buildings. See lmage 2 below.

We suggest placing three subwoofers in such a way that the two reversed-phase
subwoofers will cancel the low frequency sound in a figure eight pattern, sending the
majority of the sound to the front and the back of the speaker, not to the sides. The
residential buildings to the north and south will be minimally affected, and the band
shell itself will shadow and contain the sound radiating from the rear of the
subwoofers. See lmage 3 below.

During the concert, with the three Meyer Sound subwoofers used in a noise
cancellation configuration, the low frequency sound was effectively reduced to the
adjacent residential units to the block to the north and south.
With our experiences at the Caparezza concert, and with a better understanding of
the existing amphitheater conditions, we suggest installing the subwoofers under the
forestage area (wood construction). This will contain the sound from adjacent sites
better by creating a physical barrier of the stage and it will help better protect the sub
woofers from rain, sun, and will make it much harder to modify or steal the
speakers. ED+A will provide a sketch of how to accomplish this with our finalAudio
bid documents.
Line Arrays
The Line arrays are also able to direct sound only toward the designated seating
area inside the perimeter walls since they produce sound above 125 Hz and up to
20,000 Hz. Additionally, the perimeter walls have had a layer of Pyrok Acoustement
40 applied to them, and at the mid and upper frequencies, this will help absorb sound
before it travels beyond the extents of the bandshell. See Diagram on following
page.
We also suggest adding dedicated support poles on each side of the stage to hold
the speakers and performance lighting fixtures. The Genie Lifts that were used are
difficult to setup and are a trip hazard around the front of the stage. Again, ED+A will
provide details of this with our Audio bid documents.
A continuous strip of wood (suggest To" x3/a") should be screwed to the stage edge to
prevent large pieces of equipment, including pianos, from rolling of the stage. The
new wood strip should be fabricated with drain slots so that rainwater can flow under.
With the new audio system we suggest added severa! electronic components for the
first 12 months of operation including:
1. A site mounted sound level meter with remote access capabilities so that the
sound levels of the event can be monitored. This meter wil! produce a sound
level over time plot that can relate the event on stage to other extraneous loud
community noise issues.
2. Access to the overall volume levels of the audio system, via the internet, to
confirm the audio system is operating within its maximum allowed sound level
range and adjust it downward if the peak sound levels are being exceeded.

Consultants in Architectural Acoustics
ac0usttcs
With the subwoofer and line afiay approach, the acoustic impact to the surrounding
commercial and residential properties will be significantly reduced. We also suggest
that the audio levels for the whole audio system be set at a maximum level of 105
dBC. Additionally, we suggest including a Studio Six Digital SPL Traffic Light
program at the in house mix position. This program allows SPL levels to be
monitored and will display green, yellow and red Iights when sound exceeds pre-
established levels. This software will also generate level over time graphs and a
recording of the event so that at any given point any noise can be isolated and
identified on the recording. See www.studiosixdioital.com for more information.
Additional Comments and Suqqestions:
ln talking with several condo owners immediately to the south (Elaine Litwin and
Louis Martin) the Caparezza concert also helped elucidate why their condo seems to
be more susceptible to the North Shore Bandshell noise. Contributing factors include:
1. The windows in the Burleigh Condo, 7135 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach,
Florida are original to the building's construction and do not offer any
hurricane protection. Most newer building, like the tall condo building
immediately to the north of the North Shore Bandshell called the St. Tropez
Ocean, 7330 Ocean Terrace, Miami Beach, FL have impact resistant windows
that in addition to their hurricane protection also significantly reduce the
amount of sound within a condo unit from exterior noises.
2. Based on our quick review of the windows at the Burleigh house the estimated
Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating is around 10 with the windows
closed. lmpact windows, properly installed, typically offer an STC rating in the
35 to 45 range.
3. We understand that the Burleigh House is discussing replacing all exterior
condo unit windows and doors with impact resistant windows but a final
window type or installation date has not been determined.
4. lt is interesting that several people at the St. Tropez Ocean condo have noted
that the Bandshell noise Ievels are perceived as not loud and easily resolved
by closing their windows. The St. Tropez Ocean Condo is the same distance
from the Bandshell as the Burleigh Condo.
5. Another contributing factor is the geometry of the Bandshell. The audience
area has a curved concrete wall that has been recently been covered with an
acoustical product to help absorb sound created during a concert.

Unfortunately not all of the sound created in the audience area by the crowd
and the audio system is completely absorbed by this acoustic treatment. The
upper levels of the Burleigh House and St. Tropez Ocean Condo will hear the
unabsorbed sound reflected (high frequency sound spectrum) off the rear
curved wall.
6. Another issue that wil! influence sound is wind speed and direction. During
the Caparezzathe wind conditions were <5 mph and out of the NE. This is
very unusual for the Miami area with the winds typically 10 to 20 mph and from
the SE. The low wind condition also increased the amount of sound being
heard at the Burleigh House and St. Tropez Ocean Condos.
