Multimedia Production: Audio Equipment Available from the Library

Lightweight recommendations for creating effective audio and video content.

Equipment Reservations

ZSR Library offers a variety of equipment available for reservation.  Please see our website for details.  Reservations should be requested at least one week in advance, please keep in mind that we have limited supplies especially when many class projects are coming due! 

USB Microphones

ZSR has a number of Blue Yeti and Snowball USB Microphones available for reservation.  These plug into your computer for recording audio, using a program such as Audacity.  Each microphone comes with a windscreen and a USB Cable.  USB C adapters can be requested with these microphones as well.  

Analog Microphones

Analog microphones are also available.  We have a number of rechargeable wireless lapel (clip-on) microphones that use 35mm aux connectors compatible with our DSLR cameras, camcorders, and voice recorders.  Each of our DSLR cameras and camcorders also include an attachable boom microphone.  

ZSR also offers small and large speaker systems with microphones included.  

Voice Recorders

Voice recorders are a good alternative to microphones for audio or video recordings.  These are battery powered and do not to be plugged into a computer or camera to function, making them good for recording audio interviews or capturing sound far away from a camera.  Each of our voice recorders come with batteries and either a USB Cable or built-in USB port for exporting audio to your computer.  

We also have TASCAM professional recorders for higher quality productions and more input options.
