The day has finally arrived: The Makerspace Eight Speaker Super Surround Sound System (MESSSSS) is fully installed, wired and amplified.  This morning MESSSSS reproduced its first 8 channel audio piece, authored using adobe audition and played back by four android devices through four 1/8″ stereo cables feeding the bank of amplifiers.  More integration work remains to be completed (a dedicated computer with an 8 channel sound card plus a patch bay) but the MESSSSS is up and running!
