Volume
Our Cafe is in a residential neighborhood so we ask our customer and performers not to hang out too long outside after hours...we need to keep our music license.

Artists are asked to keep the volume below 90db. Our aim for the music in the cafe is to keep it at a level where people can still have a conversation while the music is playing. We are not a club or concert hall.

Volume, Again
This is extremely important at Aqus as we have residential neighbors. THEY ARE OUR PRIME CONCERN. Please don't make us ask you to turn down. It's a small/loud room, be courteous to or neighbors and our patrons. The Aqus employee is ALWAYS right. If we ask you to turn down, you are too loud. We will not tolerate music that we believe is too loud. Keep the volume down and help us keep our doors open as one of the coolest places around for live music.

Sound System
Aqus provides a professional-level PA system with up to 16 inputs for instruments and microphones.  The system is tuned to the house, so bands are highly encouraged to use the installed PA system.  You will have to bring your own microphones, stands and cables. If you do want to use the house system it is important that you familiarize yourself with it before hand. We have a Mackie 1642-VLZ3

Aqus does not have a "sound person" to administer the PA, so band need to have someone who understands and can balance the sound.  If you have any questions regarding the PA system, please email williamjsell@gmail.com
