ABSTRACT
As the main audio engineer in charge of the audio mix, known on the crew as an A1, your work will start before you ever arrive at the truck. Most likely, you will get a survey of the show from a producer and/or a tech manager. This will provide key information about the type of event, how many announcers, the type of remote truck you will be working, and many other key details. Hopefully, much of this information is familiar. You might notice some of your audio assistants, known on the crew as A2s, as names
you recognize and begin to visualize the layout of your audio board as well as potential issues with setting up.
