Event Audio Line-Check Release Sheet
A line check is complete only when every planned source has been identified, routed, heard at the correct destination and assigned to a named operator. A quick sound from one loudspeaker does not prove that the stage box, console input, monitor send, front-of-house output and recording feed are all ready.
1. Freeze the input list
Start with a numbered input list that matches stage labels and console channels. Record source type, microphone or DI, stand, phantom-power state, patch point and the person responsible for the source.
2. Check the installed path
Test from the real stage connection rather than injecting signal only at the console. Confirm input gain, polarity, filtering and any pad setting. Listen at front of house, then verify the destination feeds that matter for the event.
3. Use precise status language
Replace general statements such as audio ready with evidence. A useful record says which channel is present at front of house and recording, whether a monitor send is intentionally muted and where the spare microphone is located.
4. Separate line check from sound check
A line check proves routing and basic signal health. A sound check adds the performer, presenter or programme source and confirms level, tonal balance, monitor needs and show cues.
5. Record exceptions and fallbacks
channel number and source label;
stage connection and console input;
front-of-house, monitor, record and stream destinations;
fault or exception, owner and retest time;
approved spare source or bypass route;
audio lead and show caller release time.
Release rule: only the named audio lead confirms the technical path, and only the show caller authorises the programme cue.
