Using Wireless Microphones

To ensure you get the best audio quality when recording your lecture use the in-room wireless microphones installed on the lectern. There are two types of microphone and the video below details how to use both types. Here are a few of our top tips:

• attach the microphone to the center of your chest on a collar or lapel,
• avoid placing the microphone where it could be rubbed or knocked by your clothing, jewellery or hair,
• perform a sound-check to ensure everything is working,
• check that your students can hear you.

Pausing a recording

If you need to pause the recording, for example to remove a gap in the presentation or to have a private discussion, this can be done via the AV touch panel found on the lectern.

While a recording is active you can pause at any time by:

1. Tap the flashing Rec button found on the top left of the touch panel, this will open the recording details.
2. Tap Pause Capture button, found at the bottom of the recording details.
3. To resume recording tap the Resume Capture button which will have replaced the Pause Capture option found in the recording details.
