Room Setup A/V

The following requirements (okay...requests) will help to ensure that your group experiences the best presentation possible!

Wireless lavaliere microphone
Handheld microphone (wireless or corded, just as long as Bill can move with it around the stage)
Audio feed from Bill’s Mac laptop (1/8-inch mini plug)
Please note: These three audio sources all need to be plugged into the house audio system. This May require a separate audio mixer. Please coordinate this with your A/V contact

LCD projector to accommodate a Mac laptop (Bill will provide the adaptor cable that will connect his laptop to any modern LCD projector, as well as a wireless remote to control the Mac)
AC power for Bill’s computer
Screen, with top extended as high as possible

A/V table on stage for computer (Bill must be able to see his computer during his presentation. This may necessitate a longer cable between the computer and the projector.)
If possible, please arrange seats in a semi-circular or chevron pattern (audiences respond better when they can see each other)
Lectern removed or placed to the side of the room/stage
Distance from stage to first row of seats/tables should be no more than 10 feet
If possible, please dim or remove light bulbs above screen
House lights should be at full intensity (people tend to laugh and listen more in bright light!)
Screen should be placed to either side of the stage (this puts your speaker at the center of the program, rather than the graphics!)
Stage riser (ideal height is 6"-12" for audiences of up to 200 people; 12"-24" for audiences greater than 200). Please allow enough staging area for Bill to bring up to four audience members onto the stage.
Tall glass of room temperature, non-carbonated water on side table
