Sound technician

Role of the sound technician

The sound technician assures that everyone can hear the service as clearly as possible, through the OUUC sound system and, for those requiring them, through the wireless hearing assistance devices. The technician also controls the pulpit lighting and may occasionally be asked to assist with video projection. Services are recorded onto audio CDs, and the technician manages this and provides CD duplicates to members who wish to purchase them.

Technicians must receive formal training on the OUUC sound system. If interested, please contact George Lanning or Riley McLaughlin.

Duties:

  • Arrive 30 minutes prior to the service, set up any special microphone needs
  • Perform sound checks on all speakers
  • Switch on pulpit lighting
  • Record the service
  • Duplicate and take donations for CD or cassette requests
  • Switch off pulpit lighting at the end of services
  • Assure the video projector is off and the remote is stored in the booth
  • Store microphones as necessary

Good Fit:

Those able to multitask, with interest and knowledge in audio, and with quick problem solving abilities.
