– 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. 
12. Quick Tech Tips – System Troubleshooting Checklist

    tape
    Duct tape is good (and cheap), but gaffers tape is better. It adheres well but doesn't leave that sticky mess behind. We keep a roll in our sound booth 'kit'. It is expensive, but not as expensive as the gear you may be sticking it to....more
