Sometimes we originate a TWiRT episode from a newly-built radio studio. Today, however, we’re visiting beautiful studios that are under construction. Bill Jackson works with K-Love, a nationwide Christian radio group. He’s in charge of the design and build-out of a couple dozen radio studios, podcast rooms, edit, and news booths. Bill is absolutely maximizing Audio over IP technology throughout. Let’s take a “cook’s tour” of a couple large studios, plus look at a data closet and the broadcast portion of the restricted-access data center.
Show notes:
- Cisco Media over IP – At–a-Glance – Explainer page from Cisco
- K-Love studios use the Axia Quasar family of AoIP audio mixing consoles
- Bill Jackson mentioned the Angry Audio Mic Tally Gadget and the Headphone Gizmo
- Wikipedia article on Room Acoustics
