DC-83 — Saturday morning safety review

Reviewed by Ralph Ord on 5 October 2026. Open the final PDF.

Safety:
Roll heavy cases and use helpers for loads over 20 kg; wear work shoes and gloves. Keep equipment switched off while pulling the multicore cable. Keep exits and walking paths clear. Accounting is beside the baptism area: agree that route with the Baptism overseer and keep cables and connectors away from wet floors.

🔌 Connector quick reference — speakON / XLR

Open this only if you need help identifying the cable ends.

Audio Cabling reference — annotated Sheet 1-1. This edited view adds cable routes and stage monitors specifically for the Audio Cabling team; these annotations are not included in the original schematics PDF. Use the original schematics for the full technical drawing set.

Use this only to orient yourself to departments, partitions and room features. Use the CABR schematics for A/V placement.

🔌 View Sheet 6-2 — loudspeaker wiring and splitters

What your team does

1. Coordinate the pull with Lacey. Carefully lay the 30 m AMC-3 audio multicore (snake) cable from stage to booth; avoid sharp bends, protect connectors, and leave both ends ready for Stage and A/V Booth.
2. Run the labelled speakON loudspeaker cables to the six passive-speaker positions. LSCS-01 is the front-group speakON splitter; LSCS-02 is the rear-group splitter. Leave enough slack and hand each speakON cable to Loudspeakers before the speaker is raised.
3. At the stage end of the AMC-3 audio multicore (snake) cable, the two XLR return lines come out as return A and return B. Route return A to the stage monitors and return B to the lobby and Accounting. Label and protect the runs, then leave the cable ends for the Loudspeakers team to connect to the active speakers.
4. Make the MIC-1–4 XLR cables and AMC-3 handoff ready for Stage. Confirm their routing to AMC-3 inputs 1–4 and labels are complete; help if needed.
5. Run labelled XLR cables from the venue wireless-receiver location to AMC-3 inputs 5–6, ready for A/V Booth to connect.
6. Protect floor crossings with CPS-1 cable covers/mats or CPS-3 carpet. Inspect the edges for raised or loose areas before handing over the runs. Help trace any cable that fails its test.

Extra help: When Stage, Loudspeakers and Power finish their own work, they should check with Lacey and help Audio Cabling with the remaining cable work.

Cable routing reminders

• Unroll cables without twists or kinks; keep attached Velcro with the cable.
• Avoid running audio cables parallel to power cables where practical; cross at right angles.
• Use only as much tape as needed.
• Before handoff, confirm each cable type, label and destination against the schematic.

Current CABR-2026 Sheet 6-1 — audio headend wiring

What your team does

1. Set up the AHEC-2 audio rack and the two media computers at the A/V booth.
   🗺️ View Sheet 1-1 — A/V booth location

   

2. Check the labels and connect the booth/headend ends of the 30 m AMC-3 audio multicore (snake) cable, speakON passive-speaker output cables and XLR active-speaker return cables as Sheet 6-1 shows. Audio Cabling delivers the ends; the receiving teams connect their equipment.
3. Connect each media computer to its AIF by USB cable. Then run an XLR cable from AIF-1 to AMC-3 input 7 and another XLR cable from AIF-2 to input 8. Label both ends.
4. Collect the venue wireless microphones and receivers. Audio Cabling brings the XLR cables to the receiver and AMC-3 locations; connect the receivers to AMC-3 inputs 5–6.
5. Connect the PC-1 HDMI cable to the venue’s HDMI transmitter. Label the cable and secure it and the transmitter.
6. After all connection checks, Jeff Korell inspects the cords and connects booth power. Confirm final speaker positions with Corey and Alex before the sound check and keep them unchanged afterward. Micah and Alex switch on, test at low level and commission the system; test the projectors with venue staff.

For Micah, Alex and the operators

Signal	Connection / starting point
PC-1 / PC-2 audio	USB cable from each PC to its AIF; XLR cables from AIF-1 / AIF-2 to AMC-3 inputs 7 / 8. AIF Mono on; Ground Lift off; gain about 11 o'clock; media-player volume 100%. Fine-tune during the sound check.
Wireless microphones	XLR cables: venue receivers → AMC-3 inputs 5–6; adjust carefully for feedback.
Passive speakers	speakON cables: amplifier output A to the front group; output B to the rear group.
Stage monitors	XLR cable: DSP output 3 → AMC-3 return A → stage monitors.
Lobby / Accounting	XLR cable: DSP output 5 → AMC-3 return B → lobby / Accounting. Output 4 is not used.

Keep food and drinks away from the equipment tables. Personal devices can cause noise, so keep them away from audio equipment if interference is heard.

Use approved media and keep files and outlines private. Get Alex’s approval before connecting the media computers to the internet. Display the theme artwork before each session, during lunch and for about 30 minutes after the program. After the event, delete the media and outlines from both computers as directed.

Commissioning the AHEC-2

For the full commissioning procedure, open CO-160a and go to Chapter 3 → Audio Headend → AHEC-2, pages 3–4 → “Commissioning an Audio Installation.” The points below are only a quick guide.

1. Connect to the DSP. Use a laptop with an Ethernet port or adapter and an Ethernet cable. CO-160a shows the network settings and how to connect with the DLM System Control Editor.
2. Load the starting preset. Use the LBD preset or the venue/event preset if one is available.
3. Test each output zone. Use the approved audio test material and confirm that each output feeds the correct loudspeakers. If an output does not match Sheet 1-1 or 6-2, stop and correct the connection with Alex before continuing.
4. Check delays and levels. Use the click track to listen where front and rear zones overlap. Then balance the zones with pink noise and an SPL meter. CO-160a sets 82 dB-SPL as the maximum target at the seats closest to a loudspeaker.
5. Make speech clear and stable. Have several people read at the main microphone. Follow CO-160a to improve speech intelligibility and reduce feedback without making voices sound unnatural.
6. Finish the whole-system test. Confirm both media computers, all microphones, every loudspeaker zone, stage monitors, lobby/Accounting feeds and the projector link. Save the final DSP settings when commissioning is complete.

Before attendees are admitted, Alex and the operators should listen from several seating areas and agree on a simple backup plan for a failed microphone or computer.

Follow the confirmed dismantling teams and instructions. After the audience has cleared and the safety meeting has finished, Micah leads system shutdown; Jeff isolates and disconnects power before the booth team unplugs cables. Latch and inventory the cases, and return venue equipment to venue staff.

Loudspeakers

Reviewed by Ralph Ord on 5 October 2026. Open the final PDF.

Safety:
Use two people to mount or remove a loudspeaker. Wear hard hats while working with raised speakers. Keep hands clear of moving parts. Connect the speakON cable before raising, and check every lock is secure before letting go.

🔌 What a speakON connector looks like

What your team does

1. With Corey, mark the six passive-speaker positions from Sheet 1-1. Keep exits and walking paths clear.
2. Set up the passive speakers using the quick guide below; complete each as far as practical before moving on.
3. Place the two stage monitors on the stage floor as shown on Sheet 4-1. Agree the exact positions with Stage.
4. Place the lobby and Accounting active speakers on stable surfaces near safe wall sockets. These speakers do not use the passive-speaker tripods.
5. For all active speakers: the labelled XLR return cables start at the stage end of the AMC-3 audio multicore (snake) cable. Return A feeds the stage monitors; return B feeds the lobby and Accounting. Audio Cabling routes and labels these runs; your team connects them to the active speakers. Power handles mains connections. Confirm both handoffs and final positions with those teams before final placement and testing. Keep connections accessible and cables clear of walking paths and wet areas.
6. Test every speaker with A/V Booth and walk the seating area with Alex. Adjust audio levels only as directed.

Set up each passive loudspeaker — CO-160a quick guide

These steps come from CO-160a Chapter 3, Tripods (TP-1), pages 5–6, Figures 58–59. Use the current CABR-2026 drawings for the actual speaker position, height and aiming.

Safety:
Watch the stage edge and keep access clear. Coordinate with Power and Loudspeakers in the shared work area. Roll the 30 kg MS-1 case with helpers and wear work shoes. Keep equipment switched off while connecting the XLR cables.

🔌 What XLR connectors look like

Main reference — Sheet 4-1. Use it for microphone, lectern and stage-monitor positions and on-stage cable routes.

What your team does

1. Remove old or loose tape and mark the stage edge. Confirm the lectern, participant and microphone positions with Jeff.
2. Run the four XLR microphone cables between AMC-3 inputs 1–4 and the microphone positions. Confirm the handoff, routes and labels with Audio Cabling; ask for help if needed.
   • If the XLR cable has attached Velcro, open it and roll the cable off; do not remove the Velcro.
   • Route the XLR cables neatly along the stage edge and away from participant walking paths.
   • Where practical, do not run XLR audio cables parallel to power cables. If they must cross, cross at right angles.
   • Use only small pieces of tape where needed, and use proper cable protection anywhere an XLR cable crosses or enters a walkway.
   • Label each XLR cable at the AMC-3 end and again near its microphone position.
3. Connect each XLR microphone cable to its assigned AMC-3 input (1–4) and to the matching microphone before mounting the microphone. Set each stand firmly and tape the cable flat, away from the stage edge.
4. Agree the two stage-monitor positions with the Loudspeakers team.
5. Check stand stability and cable slack, then test every microphone position at low level with Alex and A/V Booth. Train the stage assistants on microphone placement and handoffs, including the venue wireless microphones.
6. Attend the program walk-through and follow the S-343 Stage Layout for chairman microphone positions, participant entry and exit, interviews, demonstrations and other stage cues. Before each participant goes on stage, give the required reminders from CO-160 Appendix F and confirm where the participant should stand or sit.

Your team safely runs mains power to the A/V booth, the stage, and the active loudspeakers. Audio Cabling handles audio cables.

Before starting, review the team’s DC-83 and Sheet 4-1 in the schematics.

DC-83 — Saturday morning safety review

Reviewed by Ralph Ord on 5 October 2026. Open the final PDF.

Main reference — Sheet 4-1. Use it for venue outlets, stage power, stage monitors and the route to the A/V booth.

Safety:
Roll the 50 kg PCS-2 case on a clear route with helpers; wear work shoes and gloves.

Electrical work: Only a qualified person performs panel work or other work requiring a qualification. Never alter an equipment ground. Set aside damaged cords, avoid overloaded circuits, and keep power away from the baptism area and wet floors.

What your team does

1. Confirm the two approved venue outlets on Sheet 4-1 and verify supply ratings against the expected loads. Agree routes with Stage and Audio Cabling before laying mains cables through their work area.
2. From the left outlet, run the booth supply along the stage front and down the centre route to the A/V booth.
3. From the right outlet, run power for stage equipment, including both stage monitors. Coordinate final connections with Stage and Loudspeakers.
4. Confirm safe wall sockets for the lobby and Accounting speakers; run their mains supply and coordinate final connections with Loudspeakers.
5. Protect every floor crossing and inspect circuits, routes and cover edges; keep exits and participant paths clear. Tell the teams before energizing any supply. Jeff connects booth power only after A/V Booth’s connection checks.
6. When power work is safely complete, check with Lacey and help Audio Cabling with the remaining cable work and floor crossings.

Where practical, keep mains power separate from audio cables; cross at right angles where they meet.

The venue wireless receivers at the stage may also need power; confirm this with the venue technician.

Follow the confirmed dismantling teams and instructions. After the audience has cleared and the safety meeting has finished, let the teams shut down their equipment. Jeff isolates and disconnects power before cords are removed. Use a qualified person for panel work and inventory the power equipment.

Safety, dismantling and references

Your safety matters more than any deadline. The detailed guidance is in CO-160 Chapter 6, A-149, and each team's DC-83 job hazard analysis.

During delivery and setup

• Attend the safety briefing and your keyman's DC-83 review. Know the nearest exit and keep all exits and walkways clear.
• Use enough helpers for anything over 20 kg or bulky. Roll wheeled cases. Wear work shoes and gloves; use hard hats for raised-speaker work.
• Close case latches before moving equipment. Inspect cables, cover floor crossings and check cover edges for raised or loose areas.
• Keep tripods level, locked and sandbagged. Connect the speakON loudspeaker cable before raising a speaker and keep others clear.
• Report an incident, near miss, damaged item or unsafe condition immediately. Stop work if something is unsafe.
• Keep food and drinks away from A/V equipment.

Cabling: Also gather the rugs used to secure cable runs.

1. Note the actual program end. Let the audience leave. The teardown safety meeting and prayer begins 30 minutes after the actual end; wait for it before starting.
2. The meeting leader will name the teams, keymen, packing area and work order. Shut down equipment; Jeff isolates and disconnects power before anyone unplugs cables.
3. With two people wearing hard hats, lower each tripod completely before removing its loudspeaker. Remove stands, microphones, cables and covers without creating trip hazards. Return venue equipment to venue staff.
   • Coil XLR cables and other audio cables neatly. Do not wrap them around your elbow; avoid twists and sharp bends, and keep any attached Velcro with the cable.
4. Bring every item to the packing area. Packing checks each item against the October BOM before cases go to the truck. Put each item back in its correct box; cable colour tags match the box. Before leaving, make one quick check of the work area for anything left behind.
5. Report and photograph damage. Close every latch, and strap wheeled cases in the truck rather than relying on the wheel locks.
