You can borrow the following recording equipment from the Library:

• Six versatile Lavalier microphones (lapel mics)

• Two Zoom H5 field recorders for field or set recording
• A Behringer 1204 USB mixer for "studio" recording

• 4 K&M 25995 table microphone stands

• 12 foam pieces to reduce reverberation in Bubbles (no reservation, upon request at the loan desk)

To reserve any of the equipment above, use this form at least 2 days in advance.

• The items will be prepared for you at the loan desk.
• Loans can last for 1-7 days and will not be renewed automatically.
• If you need special service or conditions (urgent request, long loan, workshop, etc.), please contact library@graduateinstitute.ch or come to the information desk during opening hours (Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm).
• If you do not return the items on time, you may be fined and/or barred from further loans. Contact us early in case of unexpected issues.
• If an item is damaged or after a significant delay, you will be charged for its replacement.

Sadly, the Library does not have a studio for recording. You may use the Bubbles (using foam pieces mentioned above to reduce reverberation) or take the equipment to another location of your choice. The quieter, the better.
