Promoters outline sound upgrades at Miramar Live, offer event calendar to Redmond council
Summary
A promoter for Miramar Live told the Redmond City Council on May 20 that new sound-technology investments since 2015 have reduced complaints and described 2025 event logistics, including a public safety protocol for 911 noise calls and efforts to coordinate late light-rail service.
A promoter for Miramar Live told the Redmond City Council on May 20 that investments in directional speaker technology and sound engineering have reduced noise complaints since about 2015 and described event protocols for 2025.
Marcus Charles, identified himself as a promoter at Miramar Live, said the venue has added technical controls that localize sound and minimize off-site impacts. He provided council members with an events calendar and written materials describing a 911 call response process and recent sound investments.
Charles told the council the venue has had “virtually no complaints in the last three or four years” and that engineers can position remote speakers and tune output to focus sound where intended. Council members did not take action; staff or organizers were asked to coordinate with the city on logistics and any upcoming late-night light-rail service that may affect patron travel.
The presentation occurred during the items-from-the-audience portion of the meeting; Charles said he would follow up with the city to request more time at a future meeting if the council wanted a fuller briefing.
