> Subject: Re: Focus group equipment > From: Andrea Litva <[log in to unmask]> > I have a super wizzy tape recorder (the same one used by > journalists) with two excellent microphones and the best bit of advice > I can give is be sure to place the microphones on something soft (eg. > carpeting). You will get a much better sound than if you just place > them on a hard surface. Foam is good if you don't have mic. stands. You can usually get little bits free from any kind of upholstery place/foam shop that you can cut into whatver shape you like. Then place on table and away you go.
