We understand you may be concerned about sharing microphones with other faculty who teach in your space. We would like to reassure you that 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes are present in your space; please use them to disinfect your microphone at the start and end of class.
If you prefer, you may choose to bring your own microphone or windscreen. We recommend you pick one of the following 3 options:
Windscreen: You can apply it on the existing microphone after wiping it. At the end of teaching you can wipe your windscreen and put it away. It is then reusable.
Lavalier microphone: You need to disconnect the existing piece from the bodypack and connect yours.
Ear set microphone: Same as above: You need to disconnect the existing piece from the bodypack and connect yours.
You or your department can purchase directly from BHPhoto. The Brown bookstore will soon carry these same items. It is important you buy only the models we recommend to ensure they work with the technology already present in the space.
If you would like to review your space and do a test run, please schedule a Classroom Orientation with us. In case we do not manage to see you before your first class, please request we assist you with setting up using the same form. We will arrive 10 minutes before your class start time, or earlier if there is a time buffer, to assist you.
