[Academic] Online lessons learnt from Semester 1 - Visualisers & mics.

Fri Dec 11 16:55:51 GMT 2020

Dear All,

Some of you may want to use a visualizer for next semester for doing 
problems by hand etc. There are many types just now with a wide range of 
prices (some have increased by a factor of 3 since last summer!). One 
which I have been told is OK is:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0868H9NN8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is also a good idea to get a microphone as many built-in mics e.g. on 
laptops, are not that good. One such mic is:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/KLIMTM-Talk-Microphone-Compatible-Professional/dp/B072V56NKC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=15FVL0KDLCBBI&dchild=1&keywords=klim+microphone&qid=1607458877&sprefix=klim+micr%2Caps%2C160&sr=8-3

and it works well.

You may then also need a USB splitter:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-4-Port-Individual-Switches-HB-UM43/dp/B00JX1ZS5O/ref=sr_1_3?crid=24D76I0YT9HUP&dchild=1&keywords=usb+splitter&qid=1607459045&sprefix=usb+%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-3

Please order for home delivery and keep total costs below £150 
(otherwise contact me). Charge it to account TEA1054-100 and Catherine 
(cc'ed) will authorise.

Regards,

Brian.
