The Tally displays and the Optasy Brick 830 have arrived. They were shipped to Kandu yesterday. We also sent a Tally display to CSSI. We are still waiting for the speakers that mount behind the Ear exhibit.

The specifications for the Systems Integration have changed. The server station in each of the booths is no longer needed. We will be purchasing an additional 10 samplecell cards which will be installed in the remaining booth systems. Each booth will now contain 3 stations each of which will have one samplecell card.

There might be one additional change to the systems in the Sound and Silence booth. Kandu is trying to get that information together. The three systems in this booth may require 2 samplecell cards each. Kandu will contact us as soon as they have the information. We will order the extra cards at that time, if necessary.

This week we continued installing and testing the computer systems. We delivered/installed two complete (with ram and samplecell card) systems, one for the CSO and one for ACC.

Contractors....please let us know if you need additional equipment.

We will be adding extra speaker, serial and data cables to all runs.

The ceiling speakers for the 1st floor have become an issue. CRI and CSO feel the weight of the speakers is going to be a problem. The ceiling is going to be drywall. We spoke with our vendor and they say it should not be a problem. We will be receiving the backbox for these speakers early next week. The backbox has a flange around the perimeter. This is where the weight of the speaker is going to be resting. If it is determined that this is not sufficient then accommodations need to be made to install a supporting structure.

Jesse is progressing. He will be ready to provide a demonstration of the instrument for ESI on their visit to us next Tuesday. Nick

Looks like the decision was made to go with the SampleCells Cards. We can now continue working on installing/testing the remaining 12 SampleCell cards. We have 10 cards right now. We will have to order 2 more along with the corresponding RAM.

The BackBoxes for the 1st floor ceiling speakers finally arrived on Wednesday. We met with Meade on Friday on site and went over the installation and placement of the speakers. These should be in place by late Friday afternoon. We are still waiting for the grille for these speakers.

We have asked Meade to begin installing all the data, serial, video and audio cabling. If there is any concern or quesitons regarding any cabling issues please let us know ASAP. Since we are going with the SampleCell cards there should be no extra cabling necessary between the Booth clusters and the equipment room. Meade should be able to complete the cable runs in 7 to 10 days.

The telephone cabling has become a possible addition to our scope of work. I will receive confirmation of this from Sandy Seim on Monday. Since Meade is already on site and pulling cabling, it makes perfect sense to just have them run the telephone cabling at the same time.

Jesse has been delayed in getting the instrument to Kandu. The hold up has been getting the circuit board back from the vendor who is burning the circuit onto it. We received the first batch of boards late Friday. Jesse needs to put all the pieces together and then test the integrity of the boards. We will try to get a completed board out to Kandu as soon as possible. Nick
