Soundcheck

The scheduled slot for the band and audio crew to check instruments, monitors, and the house mix before doors.

In practice

Confirm who is expected on stage, how long the slot lasts, and whether a line check happens first. A soundcheck tests the performance setup and mixes; it is different from the brief input-by-input check a crew may use when the schedule does not allow a full band soundcheck.
