+
+<h2>Basic Design</h2>
+Arduino microcontrollers output audio via PWM method (see links). Signal is
+amplified by audio amp then output to speaker over variable length cables. 4
+potentiometers per board allow adjustment of volume, timing, and two
+software adjustments. There are two amps/speakers for each arduino and 5
+arduinos total. Each board/package is powered by a 5v wall wart.
+
+<h2>Notes</h2>
+<p />
+Arduinos and protoboards were chosen in the interest of time and reusability;
+the cost will be about $37 each for those units (could drive at least 4
+speakers each if they had to?); chosing cheaper components like PICs and
+plain grid boards could bring the cost down to $10-15 but would require a lot
+of design, assembly, debuging, and would not be as easily reused afterwards.
+<p />
+The number of power supplies could be reduced if we ran power wires between
+the units.
+<p />
+The amount of "power wire" will depend on the physical situation, but this
+should be super cheap and we could get more at a hardware store last minute.
+<p />
+This all assumes tools and consumables like solder are availble (I have plenty).
+
+<h2>Parts list</h2>
+<p />
+N is the number of distinct microcontoller "units" (5?); M is the
+number of speakers with distinct outputs (5?). I say +1 on the cheap stuff in
+case something breaks or gets lost.
