Despite the hot weather, we know that summer will be fading into fall for us in the northern hemisphere. Josh Jones with Maxx Konnext Group joins us to talk about a production room he’s just finishing up. Chris Tarr is on the show, live from Magnum Media’s data center, and Kirk shares photos and thoughts on a new FM station that’s built with everything at the transmitter site, including the on-air phone system and the audio console. What are your thoughts on Kirk's “main studio” build?
Show notes:
- Chris praises the IT connectivity services of Christen Roberts at iQWired.net
- Josh Jones is part of Maxx Konnect Group’s expanding technical services for broadcasters
- Kirk is installing an Axia Altus mixing console that operates in a software container, accessible from anywhere.
- A Telos VXs broadcast phone system lives on the same server as the Axia Altus.
- WBZK-FM (The Buzz) is installing and modifying a 10-year-old Nautel VS 2.5 FM transmitter to serve as an FM+HD transmitter.
- Opening that transmitter, Kirk was reminded that he had repaired it almost 7 years ago. Here’s a video of that repair when this same transmitter was at WKXY-FM.
