Term
Soundcheck
a programme-led test of sources, levels, monitors and coverage
It verifies the system behaves correctly under real programme content, not just test tones.
How to verify it
Run representative quiet and loud passages from performer and audience positions, save the accepted state and repeat the test after any gain, routing or position change.
Facts to record
- Representative quiet and loud material
- Performer positions and monitor needs
- Audience test positions
Worked use
A wedding-band soundcheck can verify lead-vocal clarity, each monitor mix, speech-microphone priority and the change from dinner background level to performance level.
