| Set | Not on the Devcon 8 floor — on the floor next time |
| What they do | Media artist and sound producer — Diffused Opera, at the meeting point of acoustic tradition, digital synthesis and machine listening. |
| They asked for | "High-quality stereo or quadraphonic PA (with subwoofer) · 2 stereo DI boxes · 1 table for laptop & controllers · standard power outlets · a soundcheck before the performance." |
| # | What | Out of her side | Into the floor | Board |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Interface outputs | she asked for 2 stereo DI boxes — so 4 outputs, i.e. a quadraphonic feed if the room can take it, stereo if not | 2 stereo DI → 4 × XLR | 4 ch |
Plain words: quadraphonic means four speakers around the room instead of two in front — which on a circular floor with no front is the most natural thing in the world. Her piece was built for exactly our kind of room.
(the one place we say "stage" — it's the technical word. Everywhere else: the floor, the circle.)

Nothing to patch this time. 4 channels, 2 stereo DI, a table, a soundcheck — and a room that can play in four directions. Worth building the quad rig for, whenever she can come.
On the floor next time — kept warm, not dropped
