Sound Technician (A2)

 Overview

Use of monitoring software: Wave Tools & Wireless Workbench

Making sure actor mics were correctly placed each night

Assisting with speaker checks prior to opening

Within this show I was responsible for making sure that there was no issues with the actor's mics as before they go on stage prior to the show as well as during the performance. Many times I would have to "blow out" a mic do to sweat from the actor getting in the mic using canned air. I used softwares called Wave Tools, which is a monitoring software that is patched through Dante directly from our wireless receivers, and Wireless Workbench, which is a software used to set the preamps of the mics. Since the receivers themselves are not analog patches they do not have the ability to use the board preamps, so through using Wireless Workbench the gain of the receivers can be set.
