[PLUG-AV] Audio options.

[Euan de Kock]

Hi James,

Can we talk about the microphones this evening. I think we can drop down the shure range a bit. Maybe the PG or PGX range.

Speak to you tonight,

Euan

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
