Hello all,<br>
<br>
I've just checked the account, and we're back up to our usual levels
with $2,445.85 refunded from LW. <br>
<br>
...which brings us to our last round with $357.98 left in our grant.<br>
<br>
We have one outstanding item we have not yet purchased as already
discussed - a hand-held wireless mic for audience questions. Our
choices were the JTS IN64 handheld wireless mic at around $279 (was
$349 - this is still UHF), or Shure equivalent at around $600
(listed on the Kosmic site at $709 for the SLX, and on Audiogear.com
at US$599). Clerly PLUG will need to put in the difference of
$242.02.<br>
<br>

<br>
At the same time, I've proposed acquiring an additional (4th)
Firewire ExpressCard at around $59 so that our existing camera can
be used (on the DVswitch host, as a static, possibly fixed (wide)
feed of the room -- <i><b>unless anyone has a firewire ExpressCard
they'd like to donate</b></i>?? We were also considering some
cable trip mats of around 10 metres in length, and we may need to
replace the Ethernet switch we purchased (I've not had time to test
it - speak up if you'd like to).<br>
<br>
So in light of these options, which wireless handheld mic should we
get? I'm tempted by the JTS for this, given the amount of use it
will get. If I can get consensus from the group for the JTS, I'll
organise picking one up ASAP, and then process the refund and inform
LotteryWest that we're finished (the other items mentioned above
were not on the original grant request).<br>
<br>
<b>I'd appreciate input from AV as ctte will need to vote on the
additional funds if AV group feels strongly we should get the
Shure handheld mic and pay the difference from PLUG funds.</b><br>
