Recording Booth

What are the recording booths?

Our recording booths are wheelchair-accessible, freestanding sound isolation booths lined with sound-deadening acoustic foam. They are equipped with high-end recording studio equipment and software and are designed to provide a quiet, private space for your scholarly recording and streaming needs.

What’s in them?

The booth on the left has a Windows 10 PC with a 23” monitor. The booth on the right has a 27” iMac. Both booths feature:

• RØDE NT1 Signature Series Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone 
• MOTU M2 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface 
• Logitech C925e Webcam
• Audio-Technica ATH-M50x sound-isolating studio headphones
• Ring lights
• USB ports for charging and data transfer

What can I use them for?

• Remote interviews
• Podcasts
• Hosting/participating in a webinar
• Recording a presentation for class
• Recording lectures to post on Canvas
• Interviews/oral history projects
• Practicing public speaking/presentation skills
• Practicing interview skills
• Video for applications/portfolios
• …and more!

How do I reserve one?

Any member of the WCU community (faculty, staff and students) can reserve either booth. Just visit our online booking page.

Note on sound leaking in the booth. 

Our acoustic foam is designed to prevent outside sounds from being heard inside the booths, not the other way around. Please be aware that, depending on your volume, anyone near the booth may hear you as you record. The Scholar Studio area is not considered a quiet study area, so do not feel the need to be quiet because you are in the library.
