Audio cabling

Your team routes, labels and protects the main audio cabling.

Routing and handoff:
Audio Cabling delivers labelled cable ends; the receiving team makes the equipment connections. Stage owns the on-stage XLR microphone cable runs, and Power owns mains cables.

Before starting, meet Lacey, review the team’s DC-83, and open the schematics.

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.

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.

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.

For the keyman

When the protected routes pass their tests, tell Lacey and Alex. For teardown, follow the confirmed dismantling teams and instructions: wait for the audience to clear and the briefing to finish, confirm power is off, then coil and inventory the cables.
