    1.<\/span> The “No Red Light” Rule (Gain Staging)<\/h5>\n

    Audio quality is at its peak in the Green\/Yellow<\/strong> 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<\/strong>. Back to Menu<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2.<\/span> Absolute No Food, No Liquids Policy<\/h5>\n

    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<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3.<\/span> Protected Access Zone<\/h5>\n

    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<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4.<\/span> Authorized Interface Only<\/h5>\n

    Only the officially booked Artist and Mauro are permitted to connect, disconnect, or modify the signal chain. Back to Menu<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5.<\/span> Hardware Respect<\/h5>\n

    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<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    6.<\/span> Master Level Authority<\/h5>\n

    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<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    7.<\/span> \u26a0\ufe0f Please Note: The Grand Finale & Overtime Protocol (Tap-to-Pay Policy)<\/h5>\n

    To guarantee structural logistics compliance and technical focus, the End of the Event is strictly governed by the following absolute standards:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The Scheduled Grand Finale<\/strong>: The mauro.rent<\/u><\/span><\/strong> Wedding Audio Dj Tech & Backline Package includes technical operations up to the Official Time agreed upon with the Couple and Planner during Pre-Production (e.g., 02:00 AM)<\/li>\n
    • 15 Minutes Before the Grand Finale (BPM De-escalation)<\/strong>: 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.<\/li>\n
    • 5 Minutes Before the Grand Finale (The Final Announcement)<\/strong>: The Performer must officially announce the Final Song of the night and closing the Party on a high note.<\/li>\n
    • The Overtime Exception (\u20ac 250.00 \/ Hour in Advance)<\/strong>: If on the Night of the Event you decide to extend the party beyond the Scheduled Time<\/strong>, the Sound & Light System will remain fully active under our immediate Upfront Overtime Policy.<\/li>\n
    • Tap-to-Pay Execution<\/strong>: Extension blocks are charged at \u20ac 250.00 per hour<\/strong> (or fraction thereof). The amount must be settled before the extension begins<\/strong> via Credit Card using Mauro\u2019s Revolut Business “Tap-to-Pay” terminal. No cash, no exceptions.<\/li>\n
    • Technical Note<\/strong>: If an extension is not requested and settled, Mauro will gracefully fade out the Master Output at the scheduled time to initiate safe equipment teardown and respect the Venue’s curfew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
