Loudspeakers

Your team safely places and aims the six passive loudspeakers. You also place the two stage monitors and the active speakers for the lobby and Accounting.
Before starting, meet Corey, review the team's DC-83, and open sheets 1-1, 4-1 and 6-2 in the schematics.
Use two people to mount or remove a loudspeaker. Wear hard hats while working with raised speakers. Open each tripod fully on level ground, lock it, and add at least one sandbag. Connect the speaker cable before raising the speaker.
What your team does
- With Corey, mark the six positions from sheet 1-1 and make sure no speaker or tripod blocks an exit.
- Open and lock each tripod. Point one tripod leg in the direction the speaker tilts and add the sandbags Corey assigns.
- With two people, mount the passive speaker, connect its labelled cable, aim it from the drawing, and then raise and lock the tripod.
- Place the two stage monitors on the stage floor as sheet 4-1 shows. Agree the exact position with Stage.
- Place the lobby and Accounting speakers on stable surfaces near safe wall sockets. These active speakers do not use the passive-speaker tripods.
- Test every speaker with the A/V Booth team. Walk the seating area with Alex and adjust only as directed.
For the keyman
| Group | Position and height | Aim |
|---|---|---|
| Front: SPK-1.1, 1.2, 1.3 | About 4 m from the first row; normally 2.5 m high, with 1.2 at 2.4 m | Toward sections A, B and C |
| Rear: SPK-2.1, 2.2, 2.3 | About 3.5 m from the first row; 2.5 m high | Toward sections D, E and F |
All six passive speakers use about 5° downward tilt. If a raised speaker is above a walkway, keep at least 2.1 m clear underneath or use a barrier.
The PLS-1, TP-1 and ALS-4 cases are heavy and must be rolled with enough helpers. Sunday teardown assignments will be added later; do not lower any speaker until the audience has left, power is off, and the teardown briefing is finished.
