No portable equipment (easy training, low maintenance)
Preferable fix, stationary equipment.

Responsibility

Setting up and test the audio equipment that is necessary to do the PA from the different locations:
- In front of the main shrine
- In front of the secondary shrine (niche)
- In the monk eating area
- In the cloister
- Note: ~~Audio~~in ~~Mixer~~our ~~desk,~~current ~~amp and wireless and wired (?) microphones need to be provided by us. (this contradicts the previous information I was given) Contractor provide up to the socket (ceiling speaker are included) "I need to clarify this~~contract with ~~our~~Jigsaw, AVthey ~~team - Tan Karunno in particular. My understanding was that our AV team had asked to procure many items ourselves, and Jigsaw~~have to provide ~~items that needs to be installed into~~ the ~~fabric~~complete installation and even a demonstration of the building ie the internal and external speakers. I'm surprised to see that according to MXF's list, Jigsaw will provide the amplifier, the microphone, etc. too. First, I'll check with Jigsaw if they have already included those items in the price. Second, we need to check with Tan Karunno if there is any old items that we can reuse." A straightforward option will be to have JIgsaw buy everything, OR ~~we buy everything (except the speakers). Pick and choose from the list will be very confusing." ~ RK. 28-Aug-24 9pm.~~product.

~~Note~~Notes

Suggestions were given for the construction and separation of the (currently) shared cupboard space in the Monks Eating Area, so as to separate the audio equipment space from the cushion storage space. This is to ensure that the dust from the cushion storage does not have a negative impact on the life expectancy of the electronics (especially the rotary/linear pots on the mixer) in the audio equipment.

Another suggestion was a change of the location for the audio inputs/outputs for the Cloister, thereby connecting the audio from the Temple, Sala and the Outdoor areas. Something that was not practically feasible before.

The dual mic is digital, and it would be better to have radio UHF one less prone to interference

[Q] Can we remove it from the list and buy it ourself
