Hi all,<br>
Harry, Nick and I ended up at Kosmic. We spoke with Andrew Lacey. We
decided on:<br>
<br>
* Shure MX391 "boundary" mic - a desk mic that pics up all around.
While ther are wired and wireless versions, I think we're better off
with wired. They also come in three pick-up patterns - omni, 135º,
and bi-polar. For a panel style session I think two of the 135º ones
placed on the table are possibly best. These are around $335 ea, and
are XLR based.<br>
<br>
* JTS IN64 lapel mic, belt pack and receiver. While still an
analogue system, you can operate up to 16 separate channels - so
woul scale up for a multi-room conference. I'm budgeting 2 per
room. $399. XLR based from the receiver.<br>
<br>
* Soundcraft Notepad 124 - 8 channels - of which 4 are mono XLR
based (and the other 4 are treated as 2 stereo. $229<br>
<br>
* 2 x 1 metre XLR cables for radio mic to mixing desk $15 ea<br>
<br>
* 2 x 10 metre XLR for "boundary" mics to desk: $37 ea.<br>
<br>
<br>
We looked at a boom mic that someone could operate to pcik up room
questions - the solution came in at $577 (Rhode NT62 mic $359, Rhode
PG2 shock mount, and a telescopic pole $139. But I think I prefer
handing around a wireless mic. The wireless mic and base is around
$700 or less (is a mic with a transmitter compatible with the JTS
receiver. <br>
<br>
So attached is the grant application form. Jason, can you please
have a look as there is treasurer related information we'll need to
attach. I havent got the exact pricing of the laptops in here (need
to add them up) and we're taking a guess on the cameras (and
tripods) but let see if we can get some of this together ASAP and
get this lodged. Time is ticking.<br>
