[SML] Fire Alarms and Concerts

[Stephen Litterst]

Our new-ish performing arts center has dedicated audio outlets on an 
isolated ground.  External audio systems are *supposed* to be plugged 
into them.  Those outlets are on the same shunt breaker as the house 
audio system and are cut off when a fire alarm is triggered.

The audio system in one of our new venues has overrides built in to cut audio when the alarm system and emergency announcement are activated.  The question that came up is what happens when there is a concert with an outside sound company providing audio.
