In light of the current health crisis, MCP has taken unique extra steps to ensure maximum protection
from community transmission of COVID-19. Our mandate was to create a zero face to face contact
recording studio experience for talent and technicians. To that end, we have employed the following
protocols and physical barriers:
1. Only one talent performer per session.
2. The talent tracking (recor
ding) area is completely isolated from the control room and engineer/
producer rooms.
3. The talent tracking (recording) area has a separate private entrance that shares no common areas
with the control rooms or technicians.
4. The talent tracking (recording) area has its own private bathroom for talent only.
5. The control room areas have their own private entrances to the street and share no common
physical space with any talent area.
6. The control room areas have their own private bathroom with no shared talent area.
7. Each room has its own separate AC unit and ducting with no shared airways connecting the
talent area with the control room areas.
8. The talent tracking (recording) area has its own talent self-serve Nespresso coffee maker / tea /
water / disinfecting towelettes.
9. Microphone height and placement adjustments will be executed by talent at the direction of the
technicians.
10. The talent bathroom now features touchless faucets and soap dispensers.
11. The talent space is flushed with fresh air for a minimum of one hour between sessions if more
than one session is scheduled on the same day.
12. All surfaces in the talent area are sanitized and wiped with disinfectant spray between sessions. This includes toilet handles, toilet, sinks, doork***s, light switches, AC control panel, coffee.
13. Intake ducts to AC are sanitized with disinfectant spray so that the disinfectant works its way
through the AC system.
14. All microphones, headphones, video monitors, audio monitor volume k***s, stands, tabletops
and other touchable surfaces are fully disinfected between sessions.
15. Talent will be allowed to use their own headphones except where a specific broadcast
headset/mic combo is stipulated by the client. In such case the entire rig will be disinfected and
foam pop filters replaced between sessions.
16. All used foam pop screens are disposed of and replaced between sessions unless the same talent
is using them in back to back sessions.
17. In the unlikely scenario that a technician must enter the talent space for a technical reason, the
technician will wash and sterilize their face and hands and wear new disposable latex gloves and
mask. Talent will have the option of leaving the space while the technician performs his duties.
18. We are completely configured to allow for remote producers using ultra fast internet and Zoom.
