- If one speaker is louder, move mic slightly away from anchor’s mouth.
- If there are guest hosts and one does not have a collar, move mic away from host with collar so the sound is even between the two speakers.
- Adjust sound as they practice. Some anchors are louder/quieter than others:
- Use Gain to make larger adjustments in sound.
- Use Trim for smaller adjustments.
- During show, pay attention to sound! If you mute a mic, be sure to unmute it again.
- After show:

Important sound tech info:
- This is an extremely important job. You must get set up and check the mics early so you have time to make adjustments if needed.
- The soundboard buttons are just like a light switch. Up = On, down = Off.
- Use the Mute buttons to silence a microphone.
> A mute button in the up position will allow the microphone signal to Tricaster.
> A mute button in the up position will allow the microphone signal to Tricaster.
> A mute button in the down position will stop the audio signal to the Tricaster.
> A mute button in the down position will stop the audio signal to the Tricaster.
- Solo buttons should be left off, or in the down position. (Solo buttons allow the sound technician to listen to a muted signal through the soundboard w/o allowing the signal to reach the Tricaster.)
