System Maintenance
1. Keep the production booth clean and straightened up.
2. Maintain all audio gear in proper working condition. The phrase "all audio gear' includes equipment in the main auditorium, children's ministry, fellowship hall, youth room, foyers, and all other ministries that require the use of sound systems, including portable systems.
3. Do regular preventative maintenance checks on all audio gear.
4. Do regular listening tests of all loudspeaker systems to ensure that all loudspeakers are working properly and still sound as good as they did when installed.
5. Regularly clean and degauss all audio cassette decks and duplicators.
6. Fix or replace broken mic cables, speaker cables, MIDI cables, guitar patch cords, coax cables for wireless mic antenna connections, and other necessary stuff.
7. Fix or arrange for the repair of any equipment related to audio, including microphones, wireless mics, power amps, loudspeakers, source decks, direct boxes, recording decks, intercom systems, hearing assistance systems, and other items.
8. Order and maintain all supplies that impact the audio systems, including batteries, gaff tape, audio cassette tapes, spare connectors for all types of audio cables, bulk wire for building cables, headphones, headphone boxes, mic stands, boom arms, mic clips, and other items.
