Studio’s get a makeover
Studios 1 and 2 have undergone a makeover to accommodate the new Psquared Myriad playout system. This allows the station to compete with the output quality of commercial stations, as well as in the future broadcast 24 hours. Studio 1 was totally transformed with the need for a new desk and wooden boxes to be made for housing the new equipment. Dave Thompson (Studio Manager) spent weeks designing and constructing the new desk and boxes also manufacturing the steel brackets to support the box containing the mini disc player, twin CD players and monitor stand. A big thank you to Silverwood Grinding of Stockport for supplying the steel and use of the workshop.
Sunday 3rd June Paul, Dave and Ian set about unwiring all the studio equipment and clearing both studios, taking everything out of Studio 1 and only leaving the worktops in Studio 2. After lunch we started installing the new desk into Studio 1 then re fitting all the studio equipment in both studios and wiring it all up again, eventually installing the new computer equipment for the play out system into both studios. It was a very long day finishing the installation at 2.15am on the Monday so that broadcasting could take place that day.
