For times where loud studio playback is necessary, you can perform the following temporary modifications:
Easy: Adjust volume of studio announce speaker
text here. remind them to set it back
Medium: Install portable PA
text here. I gave Keefe a toDo to operationalize the checkout of the JBL PA system. Larry also has a Bose system available for checkout. remind them to reconnect KRK and check levels.
Advanced: Connect studio announce to AV system
text here: remind them to use great caution. I suggest you show a mackie between the KRK XLR source and the RCA input into the classroom AV aux in. This would give them a easy to grab volume knob and would handle the conversion from balanced to RCA and any necessary trims. Suggest they contact staff for assistance. Remind them to reconnect KRK and check levels. Alternately, we have some Rolls MB15b upstairs in CMB7 which could be operationalized into checkout / proctors.
