Using Portable Recorder Overview SoniClear Portable Recorder is an integrated hardware and software system for recording meetings and administrative hearings. SoniClear software runs on a Windows laptop computer using an external audio interface. No installation steps are required for the computer. Simply plug in the system and audio sources, and start using it. Using Samson GoMic USB Microphone To use the Samson GoMic included with your Portable Recorder, connect the microphone to a USB 2.
Using SoniClear SC10 USB Microphone If the Portable Recorder was supplied with the SC10 microphone kit, connect the SC10 base microphone to a USB 2.0 port on the computer before starting SoniClear. DO NOT USE A USB 3.0 PORT (USB 3.0 ports have a blue color jack). SC10D microphone kit includes one extension microphone. The SC10Q includes three extension microphones. The extension microphone(s) are connected to the base microphone.
Using Built-In Microphone When recording with the microphone built into the computer, do not plug in any external microphone or USB audio adapters before starting SoniClear. Sound quality of the builtin microphone is not as high as that provided by an external microphone; however, in some situations you may find the built-in microphone is adequate. For some configurations, using the Built-In Microphone will require changes to the SoniClear preferences configuration.
Video Recording Portable Recorder can be used with the SoniClear Video Recording Kit to capture video synchronized with the audio recording from the Portable Recorder microphone(s). Consult with the Video Recording Kit Operation Guide for more information.
