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 old Hackitorium AV podium has been 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.

Noisebridge also has its own internet radio station, KNOB, running on Beyla. Listen at beyla.noise/nbradio on the local network, or nthmost.com/nbradio from anywhere.

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

Turing and Church Classrooms

You can Chromecast or AirTunes to the sound system in the classrooms. The speakers are always on and turned up to some appropriate volume level. Make sure you switch the switcher in the AV box to the correct device.

There is a line in cable coming out of the AV box you can plug into a random music making device.

Dirty Shop

There's a speaker system above the shelves. A line in should be dangled near the door.

There's a Chromecast plugged into the system but it's a little busted right now, sorry. Hugs.

Sewing Area

There's a Bluetooth enabled speaker sitting near by most of the time.

Drum Circle

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.
