Your team prepares the stage microphones and stands, works with Audio Cabling on the stage XLR audio cables, and helps participants use the microphones correctly.

Before starting, meet Jason, review the team's DC-83, and open sheets 4-1 and 6-1 in the schematics. Watch the stage edge and keep every cable flat.

What your team does

1. Remove old or distracting tape. Confirm the lectern, participant and microphone positions with Jeff.
2. With Audio Cabling, run four XLR microphone cables to AMC-3 inputs 1–4. Label them at the stage box and near the microphone.
3. Connect each XLR cable 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. Test every microphone position with Alex. Train the stage assistants on correct microphone placement and practise the handoffs, including the venue wireless microphones.
6. Attend the program walk-through. Before each participant goes on stage, give the required reminders from CO-160 Appendix F and confirm where the participant should stand or sit.
