Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between audio amplification microphones and audio capture microphones?
Audio amplification microphones are connected to amplifiers and speakers within large teaching spaces to amplify the voice of the speaker within the room.
The type of the microphone may be lectern, boundary, wireless lapel . Due to COVID wireless lapels are not currently in use.
Audio capture microphones are connected to a teaching room pc so that the software in use on the pc can detect audio from the speaker.
These microphones do not amplify the level of the speakers voice within the room.
The type of microphone in use are USB boundary.
Please note there is a huge range of microphones which are suitable for different room sizes, infrastructure, teaching style and therefore there is no ideal solution, however, Digital Services can provide a USB boundary microphone and working in conjunction with ODL can make recommendations for alternatives where required.
Please note that a laptop has an inbuilt camera and microphone and therefore will only require software installed to allow for audio and video capture over presentation.
