[kwlug-disc] Meeting Audio System - Renting? [Was Re: New locations brainstorming]

[unsolicited]

Can you summarize into a per monthly rental cost (wherein 
transportation will be a problem) vs. a purchase cost. [Wherein kwlug 
will suddenly have physical assets to manage / Fund raise / acquire / 
store / (track/dispose?)]

I assume we will ultimately want to feed not just the local audience 
with audio, but a local openmeeting type server with both audio and at 
lease a 2nd, if not a 3rd, video feed. e.g. If I put a camcorder on a 
tripod on the presenter, the audio will come from the mics, and the 
video will go to both a 2nd projector and the meeting server. Or 
something. And if we have two computer video sources, the presentation 
slides, and the sample / demonstration vm screen ... I'm now way out 
of my experience as to what's physically / technically required.

Sounds like, for the moment, we're better off with a quiet meeting 
room, or a site that provides sufficient audio equipment.
