– EMERGENCY TOOL KIT


At your home, business or
church, you probably have a first aid kit to attend to minor emergencies.
You also need a sound system emergency kit. Sound systems are often made
inoperative by minor problems. For instance, the soloist that walks 26
feet with a 25 foot microphone cable. The power surge or age of a fuse
that causes it to blow. The wedding attendant on Saturday that decides
to readjust or turn off one piece of equipment in the signal path. All
these are problems that are easily solved if you have a simple emergency
kit. Many times you will be able to avoid the panic of emergency service
calls. In some cases you can make the repair yourself. You may have to
send the broken part to the manufacturer for repair, but you'll still be
in business. Severe or recurring problems and some temporary repairs will
still require a professional service visit. 

Your kit should have the
following items: 

1. One or two extra mic
cables. 

2. Extra fuses. 

3. Electrical tape (3M Super
33). 

4. Small roll of duct tape 

5. Wire cutting needle-nosed
pliers and regular pliers. 

6. Screwdrivers (tiny flat,
regular phillips + flat). 

7. An operation manual for
each piece of equipment in the system (copy in your files). 

8. A system diagram with
basic control settings. 

9. Replacement items peculiar
to the system. 

10. Extra clip-on mic and
cable for wireless system. 

11. Batteries and battery
tester.
