The current system inputs are a collection of 12 wired microphones on the dais, two wired presenter microphones, two wireless table microphones for staff tables, one wired microphone in the control room, audio input from a computer, audio input from a desk IP phone, one handheld wireless microphone and 4 lapel microphones. These all run back to a pair of digital mixers in the control room. The current outputs are to 12 in-room ceiling speakers and the Urbana Public Television's broadcast system for recording and streaming the audio and video feeds. The current system includes an assistive listening system for hearing impaired individuals that uses a dedicated wireless receiver. There are also XLR outputs in the chambers for members of the media to connect to room audio when recording a meeting. We are not upgrading our video system at this time. At a minimum the mixers, control board, and four of the wireless microphones need to be replaced. Additionally, the replacement system should have an integrated Teams or SIP (RingCentral) processing capability that could be used to replace the IP phon...
