Find information about the LDC's soundbooth and microphone inventory. Describe the key features of the soundbooth designed for noise reduction and audio quality. List at least five distinct microphone types, including their diaphragm size, polar pattern, and primary use case as described on the website.
Navigate to the main page of catalog.ldc.upenn.edu. Explore the main navigation links (e.g., 'About', 'Language Resources', 'Data Management') to find sections related to data collection facilities or equipment. Alternatively, use the website's internal search function with broader terms like 'soundbooth' or 'microphones' if direct navigation is unsuccessful. Once on the relevant page, locate and read the description of the 'Soundbooth'. Identify and list the key features of the soundbooth for noise isolation and audio quality. Scroll down to the 'LDC maintains a library of microphones' section or similar. Extract at least five distinct microphone types, noting their diaphragm size, polar pattern, and primary use case. Synthesize the collected information into a concise answer.
Successfully locate the soundbooth description and microphone inventory information on the website. State that the soundbooth has an acoustical seal and drop sweep on the door, a multi-pane window, and two layers of acoustic treatment on walls and ceiling. Mention that audio and control signals are routed via customized wallplates to a rackmounted digital audio workstation outside the soundbooth to minimize noise. Identify at least five distinct microphone types from the list. For each identified microphone, accurately state its diaphragm size (small/large), polar pattern (omnidirectional/cardioid/stereo), and primary use case (e.g., studio use, broadcaster use, general purpose, lavaliere, shotgun).
