With so much to write about, I am going to skip the Moose Convention in New Orleans for now and I will write about that in another article. For now, this weekend, we installed the first phase of a new sound system in the Social Quarters. The sound system is to replace the jukebox with a free member alternative. The new sound system is powered by a commercial 240W 5ch 100/70V Mixer Amp, 4 room speakers, and an Android TV box with Spotify and Pandora. We actually have other audio accessories, but they are for the Karaoke nights we have planned for the near future. This was the first phase of the setup. We will in our next phase be moving the volume controls behind the bar and connecting the outside speakers in the front lawn area of the lodge. This amplifier leaves us room to expand if we want into other areas of the lodge too. We are hoping that the new music and surround sound football coverage in the near future will be exciting for the members.
We would like to thank everyone that helped in making this happen including Greg Kunstbeck for helping to pull cable, mounting speakers, and the lender of tools. And to the patrons this weekend that put up with the construction sounds while they were enjoying the Social Quarters. It was an exhausting two days of work. We have lots more planned in the near future, and not just phase 2 of our audio project. We invite you to come to visit and hear the difference and to stay tuned for new projects!
