[PLUG-AV] Audio options.

[James Bromberger]

Hi all,

Just to reiterate our conversation on Friday, we ordered some stuff from
Amazon (I later rejected the purchase of the video splitter as the
postage was 5 times the price of the product from that particular
reseller), we spoke about moving quickly on more of the units such as
the wireless mic and 4th PC. I have the quote for the PC with non-profit
discount applied, and this is awaiting confirmation from the PLUG exec
committee for the funds to go to Dell.

We also said we weren't sure about the JTX wireless stuff; we do
appreciate that the wireless stuff probably needs to be purchased in
Australia due to RF channels and licensing. I've spoken to Kosmic again
today about the Shure rage (they are a listed Shure reseller).

We had our original quote with *two presenter mics*, and one wireless
handheld, plus the 2 x boundaries, 1 x mixing desk, and XLR cables total
$2,111. We've purchased the boundaries, XLR snake and mixing desk for
around $480, so effectively we have $1630 to play with. In order to stay
on budget, I'm proposing we drop this to one of each.

For the speaker each week, we're looking at:
* One Shure SLX (L4 freq) Instrument pack - $600
* One Countryman Head-mounted mic - $525

For the audience mic:
* One Shure SLX (L4 freq) receiver and SM58: $680


The reason for the first one being the "instrument pack" is that its the
cheapest option for a receiver + body pack (the "instrument pack" part
of it is a jack to mini XLR lead - which we just substitute for the
head-mounted Countryman mic). The above total is $1,805, exceeding our
immediate purchase ability for both items: but we could do one -
possibly the presenter mic + wireless pack, and have it for the next
meeting (they have stock on hand).

(See http://countryman.com/store/product.asp?id=92&catid=2 for the mic
with a video showing how to fit it)


Can I get a few *nods* from people here that we should proceed like this
- with the presenter wireless headset and mic now for $1,125 -  or some
input with alternate suggestions/recommendations?

  James
