“A professional performance starts with professional habits. My goal is to provide you with the best Sound possible; these rules ensure that the Equipment delivers its full potential from the first to the last beat.” Mauro

1. The “No Red Light” Rule (Gain Staging)

Audio quality is at its peak in the Green/Yellow zone. Constant clipping (Red LEDs) creates harmonic distortion, fatigues the listeners’ ears, and puts unnecessary stress on the RCF Active Systems. Stay in the Green, Peak in the Yellow, Respect the Sound. Back to Menu

 

2. Absolute No Food, No Liquids Policy

Any Food, Drinks, glasses, or bottles are strictly prohibited on the Dj Table, Corner Shelves, or anywhere near the consoles. One spill can end the Party and trigger expensive Hardware replacements. To ensure the Artist’s comfort, Mauro will provide a dedicated secondary side-table nearby for food, drinks and personal items. Back to Menu

 

3. Protected Access Zone

The Dj Booth is a restricted technical area. No Guests, Friends, or unauthorized personnel are allowed behind the Accu Stand or leaning on the Equipment. Back to Menu

 

4. Authorized Interface Only

Only the officially booked Artist and Mauro are permitted to connect, disconnect, or modify the signal chain. Back to Menu

 

5. Hardware Respect

Treat the AlphaTheta / Pioneer Dj touch-screens and Jog Wheels with care. Use only fingers (no pens, rings, or sharp objects) on the screens. The Artist/Client is responsible for any damage caused by negligence. Back to Menu

 

6. Master Level Authority

Mauro (On-site Audio Technician) reserves the right to manage the Master Output to comply with local noise regulations or to protect the RCF transducers from damage. Back to Menu

 

7. Overtime Agreement & Last Song Protocol (Tap-to-Pay Policy)

To guarantee structural logistics compliance and technical focus, the End of the Event is strictly governed by the following absolute standards:

• The 02:00 AM Hard Cutoff: All mauro.rent Ecosystem packages include technical operations strictly up to 02:00 AM. There is no option to negotiate a later standard closing time during Checkout. If the timeline suits your vision, the package is approved; otherwise, the Overtime Protocol applies.
• 15 Minutes Before Cutoff (BPM De-escalation): At 01:45 AM, the Performer must begin lowering the energy, reducing the BPM, and guiding the crowd toward the End of the Set. Leaving the Console unattended is strictly prohibited.
• 5 Minutes Before Cutoff (The Final Announcement): At 01:55 AM, the Performer must officially announce the Final Song of the night and initiate the technical shutdown sequence.
• The Overtime Exception (€ 250.00 / Hour in Advance): If on the Night of the Event you decide to extend the party beyond 02:00 AM, the Sound System will remain active strictly under immediate, upfront Payment.
• Tap-to-Pay Execution: Extension blocks are charged at € 250.00 per hour (or fraction thereof). The amount must be settled before 02:00 AM via Credit Card using Mauro’s Revolut Business “Tap-to-Pay” terminal. No cash, no delayed invoices, no exceptions.

🔴 Technical Enforcement: If the upfront digital payment is not completed before the clock hits 02:00 AM (or the expiration of the paid overtime hour), Mauro will perform an immediate hard-cut of the Master Output to ensure transport safety, venue regulations, and hardware compliance.
