My Project

The microphone cords in this project will help students be able to use the brand new equipment on the stage at our brand new school. Some of the cords will be used to connect microphones and other cords will be used to connect sound equipment to play music and audio into the sound system.

There are often times that more equipment is needed to make things sound better on the stage.

Some other new equipment has been purchased, but there was not enough cords to connect everything and so we are in need of more cords to have the best sound that we can for our fine arts department at the new school.
