Welcome
This wiki is for [MGC] Makati Gospel Church's [GWS] Global Worship Service's Audio Tech Team.
Mission Vision
To serve the church by providing excellent audio, visual, and lighting support, ensuring the Gospel is clearly seen and heard.
Core Values for team culture:
- Unordered List ItemExcellence, Not Perfection: The goal is to do the best with the resources available, minimizing technical distractions so the congregation can focus on the service.
- Unordered List ItemServant Leadership: Technology is a tool for ministry, not a stage for performance. The team operates behind the scenes to elevate the overall worship experience.
- Unordered List ItemContinuous Equipping: A commitment to training and mentoring volunteers, ensuring they feel confident, supported, and spiritually fed, rather than just being used for tasks.
- Unordered List ItemAdaptability: The readiness to troubleshoot calmly under pressure and pivot when live services don't go exactly as planned.
Audio Workflow
Below are the recommended minimum check list:
Power On Sequence
Important: Speakers should be turned on last to avoid the loud damaging sudden power thud.
When turning On the entire Sound System:
- Check that the FOH Speaker Power Sequencer is Off
- Check that the Delay Speaker Amplifier is Off
- Turn on the Mixer and WiFi Power switch
- Turn on the Mixer
- Login to the Mixer
- Select and Enable the Startup Scene
Note: School's General Services [GS] is in charge of turning on breakers before the event.
Muted Scene
The Power Off Sequence should leave the Mixer in the Muted Scene. All the Input channels and the DCA's are muted and the faders are turned all the way down. This serves as a redundant mute.
Startup Scene
The Startup Scene will bring Vocal and Instrument faders up to Unity 0db and serve as a constant starting point before every event.
Line Check
Never assume, always check. Avoid the pain.
One by one, confirm that Inputs and Outputs are wired correctly and working.
- Check the Speakers
- Check Delay Speakers, move Matrix 1 fader as needed
- Check FOH Speakers
- Check Sub Woofers
- Check the Inputs
- Check the vocal mics and instruments one by one
Input Gain Check
After confirming that the “Blue Mic” is wired to the “Blue Fader” for every mic and instrument, adjust the GAIN level signal.
