What your team does

1. Remove old or distractingloose tape.tape and mark the stage edge. Confirm the lectern, participant and microphone positions with Jeff.
2. Stage runsRun the four XLR microphone cables between AMC-3 inputs 1–4 and the microphone positions. Confirm the routehandoff, routes and labels with Audio Cabling; ask them tofor 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. TestCheck stand stability and cable slack, then test every microphone position at low level with Alex.Alex and A/V Booth. Train the stage assistants on correct microphone placement and practise the 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.
