Podium guide

All learning spaces at City are equipped with a podium to facilitate the delivery of teaching and presentation content. The podium is known as the Pod.

About audio

All DALI rooms have a built-in lectern microphone as well as fixed microphones in the ceiling above the pod and projection screen. If you walk round the room as you are teaching you can use a lapel microphone.

The wireless lapel microphone can be used in any DALI room so you can move between rooms with the same mic. You will need to pair the microphone before you use it.

Pair microphone

  1. Select the Wireless Mic icon from the right-hand side of Crestron panel.

  1. When successfully paired, information from the microphone will appear on the touch panel and Paired will display in the Link status.
  1. Once the microphone is paired, you can have the audio sent to the speakers by ensuring:
    • The microphone is not muted from the switch (located at the top of the mic)
    • Touch panel is not muted from the Microphone Volume control.
  2. You can also adjust the microphone volume to the speakers, these functions do not affect Lecture Capture recordings.

You have now paired the microphone to the system so all audio will be captured on the Echo360 recording. It is good practice to remember the mics in the room will only pick up your audio and not the audience so if a member of the audience asks a question, it is a good idea to repeat the question for the benefit of recording.
