Traditional Set-up

 2/22/2024 update

A/V Operators

The Traditional service is usually less elaborate than the Contemporary service. The typical set-up is:

SOUND:

CHOIR_MON_mod.jpg

  1. Piano on "Low Stick"

  2. SM57 mic on the piano

  3. Make sure that there is no monitor plugged into the CHOIR jack behind the rail, stage right. If it is plugged in, the CHOIR monitors will not work:

  4. One music stand center stage back for the music director to direct the choir

  5. One music stand center stage front in line with the center mic (boom)

  6. One boom stand with monitor center-stage

    1. Monitor plugged in

    2. Red mic on the boom, plugged into channel 4

  7. One straight stand floor, center stage left, beside the communion table

    1. For the use of anyone who may not be able to access the stage to speak.

    2. Yellow mic, plugged into channel 5

  8. One mic above the north section of the audience (“shotgun”) to use for audience reaction or singing for the live stream/record function.

  9. One Line 6 wireless body pack with a lapel microphone

    1. Check the battery level >= 5 hours

    2. Verify that it is set for wireless Channel 3

    3. Place on the center front pew

  10. The two choir mics stay in place, but need to be tested to make sure they work (see below)

  11. Open the Sound Console Cabinet

    1. Start the Sound Console using the Rack Main power switch. This starts the mixer and the three Line 6 wireless receivers.

    2. Start the Sound System Control tablet

      1. Hold in the power switch on the upper right of the tablet for ~ 5 seconds

      2. Swipe the screen to enter the password (press SHIFT twice to get a SHIFT LOCK). Enter the password.

      3. Verify that the WiFi is connected correctly (UBCAV extension either 2G or 5G )

    3. Select the MASTER FADER app from the home screen. This is used to control the mixer wirelessly (See images below this section).

      1. Select the mixer icon

      2. Select the DL32S for connection.

      3. Sync the tablet and the mixer (choose to sync with the mixer)

    4. Select the appropriate SHOW and SNAPSHOT

      1. Usually this will be “Traditional” and “Keys” (the last block on the right).

    5. Un-Mute and raise the MAIN fader to "U"

    6. Un-Mute all the in-use monitors (Floor, Instrument, Choir and Keys). Most masters are at the normal position “U”, but the Choir monitor usually runs above “U”

    7. Check that all mics in use are working:

      1. Normal MIC and MAIN setting is at "U" (unity gain). With the MAIN set at "U", turn on the mics, and set them for "U." There should be no feedback.

      2. Turn down all the in-use mics, then set the MAIN fader to maximum (+10 dB).

      3. For each mic in use, raise the level towards max. At max, you should begin to hear some feedback. That mic is working.

      4. Repeat for each mic. If feedback happens too early when raising the volume, the GAIN control for that channel may need to be lowered on the GAIN page.

      5. If a phantom-powered direct box is in use and does not work, check the Gain page to see if phantom power is enabled for that channel. if not, mute the channel (to avoid an audible pop) and turn on the phantom power.

    8. If you have channels set with some fader level and/or off mute, you can select the AUTO view option, which will show only the channels you are using on the display.

    9. SHUT-DOWN: The Mackie DL32S will re-start in the same condition it was running in when it shut down. To avoid loud pops from the sound system, or possibly loud feedback or unexpected music when the system is next started, before shutting down, please mute all outputs (MAIN and AUXs). This can be done easily by loading the MUTE ALL show, and the MUTE OUTPUTS snapshot before shutting down.

Select the MASTER FADER app from the home screen

Touch this to connect to the Mackie

Select the mixer icon to connect to the Mackie

Select the DL32S for connection

Sync the tablet and the mixer (choose DL32S to sync with the mixer)

Touch this icon to select the show to use

Then choose “Offline Shows”

Then choose the “Traditional” show.

  1. Open the Video control cabinet

    1. Deploy the A/V computer shelf

    4. Wait for the laptop to boot up.

      1. Open the Proclaim app.

      2. Open the Proclaim file for the 8:30 service for today’s date. It will take some time to sync.

    5. Start the Confidence Monitor projector

    6. Start the two main PANASONIC projectors (use the remote, left power button to turn on).

    7. Start the presentation (F5 or click on “On Air”).

  2. Verify good signal to USB Audio Interface from the Mackie DL32S Aux 1/Record buss.

  3. Set up the live stream (title and privacy settings).

  4. Start the Live Stream 5 minutes before the service starts (it may be necessary to re-start if the uplink fails initially)
