These all look like they will do exactly what we need them to do. The
only thing to note is that the Spirit only has Jack outputs, and our
cabling will have to take that into account.

* Can you confirm that we can re-cable?
* Does Room 1 have any speakers?

The hissing could also indicate other issues, can the university fix it
before we arrive? I don't really want to rest an entire room's audio on
2 days troubleshoot right before DebConf... If the university is
unwilling to fix it, I suggest we hire in equipment for this room.

Plenty for the mics we need. According to the Internet searches I've run
these each allow 4 mics (what we need).

These are fine.
* Do we have access to 6?
* What batteries do they use?

>   Wearing Mic: didn't check, supposed to be WM-1320

My searches turned up two versions for this model number - one headset
and one lapel. We need 6 headset mics.
* Which are these?
* What batteries they use?

That is exactly how many we need.

We may need to bank on long ethernet runs for projectors then to get
HDMI input.
