XLR room microphone - Lecture capture

[CAWJames]

Hi all,

 

We are in test mode for our first lesson capture room, and I am trying to find a decent celing mounted mic we can put in the middle of the room to pick up chatter in the room(if needed).

 

Our sound setup is a Shure SCM262 stereo mixer with a Sennheiser G3 wireless mic hooked into it. We have tried a Samson hockey puck we had around with a mini-XLR connection, but I think its an omni, and not much good! the idea will be that the lecturer can adjust the dials to bring in room noise or turn down their lapel to suit the situation.

 

So, any idea what I can put into the ceiling for the all important student chatter?

 

Thanks

 

James

Depends how big the room is, you might need 2 of them.

 

This requires a reasonable level of audio installation skill and some 4pair and screen audio cable but will provide excellent audio.

Is a much more basic install but has no nice features, it's just a mic.

Oh I like the outreach system Will have to look into that, loop of 2 pair and up to 10 mix and match plates, very nice!!

i have one of these in a classroom tied into a cctv camera that was designed as a teacher training room (teacher can watch slt teach to get pointers and vice versa) put it central in the room but slightlty towards the whiteboard and it did the job nicely.
