🎯 Learning objectives

• Configure a stable Wing → AES50 → X32 → iD14 → Vimeo path
• Hit practical loudness/headroom targets
• Create a pre-service stream checklist
• Recover from common go-live audio failures quickly

📺 Broadcast mix priorities

• Speech intelligibility first
• Stable average level (Wing FOH rides should not hijack the X32 stream path)
• Less extreme low end than a hyped PA
• Less harsh high end than a bright room
• Mono-compatible: many watch on phones
• Safety limiting before the interface

🔴 Vimeo go-live runbook

1. Computer power settings: never sleep; disable surprise OS updates mid-service.
2. Confirm iD14 selected as audio input in encoder/Vimeo workflow.
3. Pre-live private check: speak on pastor mic + play music bed; watch platform meters if available.
4. Assign a human to monitor the public stream on a phone (LTE, not venue Wi-Fi) for true viewer experience.
5. If audio dies: mute stream announcement slide → check app device → iD14 meters → X32 stream outs → AES50 link → Wing source.

🧪 Lab — full dry-run

• Do a 20-minute mock livestream with real band OR playback + speaking.
• Have someone watch on cellular and text issues in real time.
• Write a 8-line emergency card taped at FOH/stream desk.
