[Trainer-talk] 2nd Generation Victor Reader Stream and External Microphone

[Mauricio Molina]

Hi All, 

 

For anyone who has worked with both the first generation and second
generation Victor Reader, you are probably aware that the recording quality
of the second generation is very poor, especially  when compared to the
first generation of the device. I am working with a student who is hard of
hearing and wears hearing aids. He would like to use the Victor Reader in
class to record lectures, but after using the recorder for just this
purpose, despite sitting in the front row, his instructors can barely be
heard on the recording. Listening to the recorded lectures using headphones
helps only slightly. Placing the recording on the instructor's podium is not
the solution. Does anyone have any recommendations for an external
microphone that would work well with the Victor? Thank you in advance for
any assistance provided.
