Microphones
Room 53 has an AKG C3000 microphone inside its soundbooth. To use the microphone, both the soundbooth computer (a Windows machine located outside the soundbooth) and the pre-amp must be turned on. The pre-amp is the small box on the side desk labeled "AudioBuddy". Press the Power button on the front to turn it on, and you should see two red lights. If the Phantom red light is not on, press the Phantom Power button in the back to turn on phantom power. If you don't see two red lights, the microphone will not record anything!
On the computer itself, you can use Praat or an OpenSesame script to start and stop recording.
SpARCL has two lapel microphones and a boom microphone. To use any of these microphones, both the desktop computer (a Mac) and the pre-amp must be turned on. The pre-amp is the long black box to the right of the Mac.
On the computer itself, you can use Praat, OpenSesame, or Audacity to start and stop recording.
