Before the early Service

• Ask if there are A/V needs other than the basics (pulpit, lectern, handheld, lavs)
• Replace rechargeable batteries in wireless mic transmitters LAV1 & LAV2.
• Hand out the wireless LAV mic bodypacks to the preachers
• See if the pulpit mic is needed. Connect if needed, disconnect if not to avoid the visual block
• Make sure the lectern mic is plugged-in. Do a sound check with liturgist if desired.
• Check the battery in HH1 and put it on the front pew
• Use HH2 for any other special speaker or musician
• Set out the assisted listening devices on the back ledge
• Set up the Zoom to record the services (Insert SD card, press Rec-Ready, check signals)

During each Service

• Start recording when prelude begins. (assure adequate rec level)
• Monitor mic levels, assure adequate volume but avoid ringing or feedback.
• If feedback, lower main outputs or the offending input
• Mute LAV1 & LAV2 when the preacher is not speaking
• Mute or lower the choir mics during the sermon for a cleaner recording
• Important: Mute or lower the lectern/pulpit mic if the speaker is using a wireless lav
• Important: Keep HH1 and HH2 receivers muted when not in use (to avoid stray signals)

After the 11AM Service
