MARTEL DM246 · RECORDING PACKAGE
Give four speaking positions their own microphone with this Martel DM246 courtroom recording and transcription package. It combines the four-channel recorder, four unidirectional microphones, a 32GB memory card and the T147 transcription kit for recording and later review.
Position each directional microphone toward its intended speaker. Directional pickup helps reduce sound arriving from other directions, while distance, room acoustics and overlapping speech still affect the result.
The T147 kit includes transcription software, a USB foot pedal and headset. Keep the recording channels and file sequence together so the reviewer can select the source needed for each passage.
Begin with the room layout, then assign a microphone to each priority position. Label the microphone, cable and recording channel consistently. Rehearse ordinary speaking volume from the actual seats and verify each saved channel before the first session.
Directional microphones suit arrangements where speakers use predictable positions and the microphone can be aimed toward them. The pickup pattern helps focus on that area, but it does not prevent every background sound from being recorded. Compare the four-omnidirectional-microphone package if participants speak around a shared table.
