SOUNDGRABBER
II
Should you wish to record a conference
group which is meeting without a table, the
Sound Grabber II could be placed on the
floor in the middle of the group or on a wall.
Double-faced adhesive tape can be used,
providing the wall finish will not be dam-
aged.
Interviews
For two-person interviews, see Fig. 5. If the
interview is being recorded on television, the
mic can easily be positioned out of the cam-
era range and still have excellent audio
pickup.

Pulpits, Lecterns
Because it lies flat on any surface, the Sound
Grabber II is ideal for picking up speech at a
lectern or pulpit. It is invisible to the audi-
ence and can be placed anywhere on the
surface so as not to interfere with any books
or papers. See Fig. 6.
Cassette Recording
The Sound Grabber II is equipped with an 8
foot cord with a 1/8" mic plug. A micro plug
and 1/4" phone-plug adaptors are also pro-
vided.
The Sound Grabber II
will provide an output
signal that will record easily on any standard
of recording you are doing. If the camera
will be moving, you can tape the mic to the
front of the camera or ask an assistant to
hold the mic.
Stereo Recording
Mount two Sound Grabber IIs head high on
a wall or on the floor and about 3 to 10 feet
apart, facing the performers. The mics
should be 5' to 15' from the performers (see
Figs. 7 and 8).
