Tapes and CDs 4.13. Special Events 4.10. Amplification Sources Policy no restrictions on type of amplification source should be allowed wire runs should be short and taped where appropriate 4.10.1. The selection of an amplification source is equal to the selection of a musical instrument. A Performer may have custom designed and built an amplifier specifically to improve sound quality or for some other purpose. This is a form of the Performer's unique expression. 4.10.2. If an amplification system can be made to address the above mobility requirements, and the Performer sets its sound level to appropriate community standards, it would appear that any equipment restriction creates a conflict with an individualÕs ability to choose his/her form of expression. 4.10.3. Any difficulty with wires could be eliminated by keeping runs short and by taping the wires to the pavement.   NEXT
