To do this evening/ was completed: Had our cinema meeting today and we're in great shape.

I thought I had my finger on the clasp to properly separate it from the wall XLR extensions but pulled on it too hard. Will need to replace this one for future DJ sets unless we have a spare here or at NWB. I left this on the desktop in...
