  1. Power Supply

The soundboard is powered by a UPS (Uniterrupted Power Supply) unit located in front of the sound console, to the right of the doorway as you enter.

When you turn on the UPS, the green power light on the soundboard should turn on.

Check power after turning on UPS.

2. Sound board (Diagram Below)

There are three microphone lines coming into the soundboard:

  1. Pulpit: Line 1 volume knob (bottom of board) stays around 17 while pastor is speaking. Might need to lower it as sermon goes on and he speaks more forcefully.

    • Watch the meter—keep the needle below red.

    • Turn this mic off during congregational singing and any other time pastor is not speaking.

  2. Room: Line 2 volume know (bottom of board) stays around 15 during singing. Might need to lower if music is loud.

    • Watch the meter—keep the needle below red.

    • Turn this mic off during congregational singing and any other time pastor is not speaking.

  3. Baptismal: Line 3 is rarely used. Turn this mic on during a baptism, membership vows, or if someone prays at the microphone on the house right side of the platform.
