Install a hearing loop inside event rooms

We should install a hearing loop inside the new event rooms, when we get them!

My pal adrian riffo made a DIY hearing loop for a hiphop gig when the venue forgot to provide, I could ask him if he could do a more permanent version for us? Obviously there's risks on reliability but he might like to contribute...

AIUI they're not the most complicated thing. An amplifier and a loop of wire (I guess a resistor or something so that you don't short things out). I may even have access to an old one, will check.

Now that we have a PA set up it seems like it would be worth progressing this, especially as it would be good to have in place before any flooring goes down (I'm pretty certain it'll work ok through flooring, at least just the carpet level).

If this is easy to do, can we get it moved forward?
