Help with finding a compatible headset microphone for E-Prime SRbox

[Michiel Sovijärvi-Spape]

Hi,

If I remember correctly, one needs a microphone with pre-amp; I suspect you might well get good results with even a fairly low quality headset microphone – we’re not really talking high fidelity audio capture here, as long as the signal is higher than the noise. That’s of course the issue with soft-speaking participants: if their breathing is about as loud as their voice, it’s not going to become brilliant even if you tweak the sensitivity of the SRBOX (there’s a thing or two about in our E-Primer). Another thing that’s often only clear once you’re halfway through your experiment, is that the onset of vocal audio differs drastically depending on the word; so if you have a Stroop test, 

“Purple”, has a nice, loud onset with the popping P sound (annoying for audio engineers), whereas might only register at the “D”.

 

Well, it’s been a while since I last did anything with the voicekey, please do let us know what your experiences are!

Best,

Michiel Spapé

With the purchase of an E-Prime SRbox I received an Audio-Technica microphone (Model ATR20) with a desk stand. I am now looking for a headset microphone model that is compatible with the 2-pole plug of the SRbox. Has anyone in the E-Prime user community found such a microphone model? Also, in your experience, does a headset microphone resolve the problem of capturing responses from participants with a very soft voice? Thank you for taking the time to share your recommendations with me.
