Hi all,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
We had our original quote with <b>two presenter mics</b>, 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.<br>
<br>
For the speaker each week, we're looking at:<br>
* One Shure SLX (L4 freq) Instrument pack - $600<br>
* One Countryman Head-mounted mic - $525<br>
<br>
For the audience mic:<br>
* One Shure SLX (L4 freq) receiver and SM58: $680<br>
<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
(See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://countryman.com/store/product.asp?id=92&catid=2">http://countryman.com/store/product.asp?id=92&catid=2</a> for
the mic with a video showing how to fit it)<br>
<br>
<br>
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?<br>
