Configuring a Show

Microphone and Microphone Allocations

Once Characters, Acts and Scenes have been configured, you can optionally choose to configure microphones used throughout the show and assign them to characters. This is done from the Mics tab in the Show Config page.

Setting Up Microphones

Navigating to the Mics tab will initially show an empty microphone list:

Click the Add button to create a new microphone. Each microphone must have a unique name for the show. After adding microphones, they will appear in the microphones overview:

You can use the Edit and Delete buttons to manage existing microphones.

Configuring Microphone Allocations

Once microphones have been created, you can configure their allocations by going to the Allocations tab. This displays a matrix showing each character against each scene in the show:

To assign a microphone to a character, follow these steps:

1. Select a microphone from the dropdown box at the top of the page
2. The table will update to show the allocation view for that microphone:

1. Click on individual cells in the matrix to allocate or de-allocate the selected microphone to a character for that specific scene
2. Cells will highlight to show where the microphone is currently allocated:

Allocation Constraints

• You cannot allocate the same microphone to multiple characters in the same scene
• You cannot allocate multiple microphones to a single character for a given scene
• These constraints ensure practical microphone management during live shows

Saving Allocations

After making your allocations, click the Save button to confirm your changes. Once saved, the table will display the final allocation showing which microphone is assigned to which character in each scene:

The saved view provides a clear overview of microphone usage throughout the entire show, helping sound engineers plan microphone management and character coverage.
