Introduction to C3H Soundroom
Let's start off 2012 with an introduction to some of the new capabilities which have been appearing in the Soundroom in 2011. This wiki page will be updated with documents and material documenting how we at C3HUU are able to put the Soundroom equipment and capabilities to use supporting our mission as described on the c3huu.org web site. The capabilities introduced include:


 * the Soundboard interfaces and controls commonly used during Services and special events
 * the different types of microphones which are available and their strengths & weaknesses for different uses in different events
 * Phonic Ear Easy Listener radio transmitter and receiver system for hearing impaired
 * the digital recorders available to connect to the sound system
 * two Tascam digital recorders, one used to record the Sermon, the other the whole Service
 * Tascam DR-03 for Sermon audio
 * Tascam DR-05mkII for whole service audio
 * backup recorder which was in use for 6 months prior to acquiring the Tascam recorders: an Olympus VN5100PC
 * the Seagate Dockstar, which is a Pogoplug server, and USB attached hard drive which hold all the past services audio
 * a Pogoplug Series 4 is being tested to slowly replace the Seagate Dockstar and allow low-resolution video sharing
 * the X-Rocker Wireless audio interfacewhich allows an iPod, laptop PC, tablet PC, or other device with one of several sound inputs to be wirelessly connected to the sound system in the church sanctuary
 * first and foremost the X-Rocker set needs 4 x AAA batteries for the receiver and transmitter
 * a pair are on loan to C3HUU and has worked well in several different applications. We are looking for another pair of units to leave at church
 * this device also works well to interface audio feed FROM the soundboard to be mixed into a video camera capable of external audio input
 * after initial success, interference and static rendered it unusable several times, alternatives described here
 * the Internet sites and services used to create the Sermon audio list on @http://c3huu.org/sermonsweb page
 * Pogoplug multimedia "cloud" sharing service
 * Google Docs annotated spreadsheet with directions on how to enter services information and link to the Pogoplug audio file for a sermon
 * Wikispaces page that allows Google Docs spreadsheet to be embedded and appear on the http://c3huu.org/sermons page

Soundroom Operations Manual
Many thanks to Steve Marshall for creating a Soundroom Operations Manual, printed versions have been in the Soundroom since Fall 2011. An updated version of that manual which includes an index, more on Digital Recorder operations, and a Copyleft permission is embedded here:

This manual documents the basic Sound System operation. The Soundroom team will continue to update the digital copy of this manual to include new devices and capabilities which have proven to work reliably at C3HUU.
