Our group is working on getting our Instructor Led Classes online. In order to enrichen this effort, we have started recording presentations. These get spliced down to manageable chunks of listening time. Well, last week, we were trying to determine how to record the presenter without having her hold the new digital recorder that was purchased. (It's a nice recorder - Olympus VN-3100PC - and allows quick download to the computer in .wav files.)
We found an older lavaliere microphone system in the tech closet. I pulled it out and said surely this must be able to connect. I took the kit home over the weekend, only to realize that the jacks were not compatible.
As you know, I'm a bit of a tech nerd. Despite that fact, I have not enjoyed or ever been really enthusiastic about going to FRY'S -- the mega mart for all things tech. This morning I reluctantly drove myself up to Fry's before driving 1.5 hours to a class. Within 10 minutes of walking into the store, I explained what I needed (a connector from an old style stereo microphone jack to one that would fit into an Ipod-size device), was led to the product, and was in line to purchase it.
As I write this, the solution is in use by the presenter and within the next coupled days I will be downloading the audio files to my computer.
