The APart Audiolock, distributed in the UK by Sennheiser, is an automatic decibel level controller that ensures that the sound pressure level will never exceed the maximum level as set by the venue.
The Audiolock is "sabotage proof", both electronically and mechanically, while a remote control unit allows the owner or manager to adjust the maximum level from outside the DJ booth. The maximum level, set on the central unit in the booth itself, cannot be exceeded, and a green LED will turn red to inform the DJ if he or she tries to exceed that preset level, say Sennheiser UK.
