[AG-TECH] Hursley AG Node - Room Design, please comment.

[Steve Gallo]

It's also important to keep in mind that the node op has to be able to
react to problems in the other room, adjust sound levels, adjust individual
mic gains, etc. for different speakers.  As long as the op can get the
feedback necessary to do that, it would be nice to put them away from the
group as it were.
