Suggestions and updates are always welcome. Feel free to post any information or questions below in our response box. Discussions of the use of specific forms of technology in field situations are welcome, as are suggestions for new categories of things useful to linguistic anthropologists such as books or ways to transfer from medium to medium.

Many thanks to Robin Shoaps, Mark Sicoli and Andy Kovolos for these initial contributions, to the members of the Technology Kit Committee, Mark, Debra Spitulnik and Jennifer Dickinson, and to Kit Woolard for her belief in this project and all her encouragement.

Special thanks to then-SLA Digital Content Editor Leila Monaghan and SLA Web Guru Alex Enkerli, who initiated the page in 2010.

    This is a useful list. I think the list of microphone types – limited largely to booms and lapels – is good mostly for recording either focused performances or interviews, but not naturally occurring interaction. However, if one is trying to record complex, interactive events with multiparty participation, I would recommend a high quality “boundary microphone.” I have had good luck with an AV U851A and a Sennheiser E912 BK.
