TODO: figure out rough estimates of run lengths/types based on room dimensions (already collected, not yet published)

=== DI boxes, etc ===

* 2 x laptop out -> xlr transformer/isolator
* 1 x balanced mixer out -> interschool unbalanced a/v rack inputs (speakers mounted on wall _should_ be adequate for PA)
