Item / Project Name: mackie powered subwoofers
Quantity: 2
Description: powered bass speakers with amplifiers
Estimated Cost : $1400.00 ea
(per item and total - attached detailed cost estimate)
(Note any additional costs to operating budget as well. (ex. maintenance cost etc.) )
Justification / Benefit: We currently do not have bass speakers. Purchasing a full system
all at one time would have been extremely expensive. So each year
we add items to the system so that eventually it will be complete.
By purchasing powered speakers, we save money.
Otherwise we would need to not only purchase speakers
but a separate amplifier which would cost over $2000.
There are less maintance issues with the powered apeakers
Bass speakers will allow us to provide more balanced sound.
Allowing the sound engineer to lower the volume for the
same audience coverage
