Fig. 20: Diagram of the Community Radio Station
Also in this configuration a PC with radio play-back and editing software is connected to the mixing
console. The PC has substituted costly recording and playback equipment such as tape recorders
and CD players. It is possible to operate the Community Radio with only one computer, but we
recommend two, because it will create the possibility of pre-producing programmes on one
computer while using the other for on-air.
In order to keep cost down it is recommended to use free computer software such as
www.winamp.com for Play List broadcasting and ProTools free version editing software from
www.digigram.com.
The output of the studio passes through a compressor/ limiter before reaching the transmitter
ensuring best output performance with no distortions. All equipment is 220/110 volts mains
supplied via an UPS 500 VA for voltage safety.
For a detailed list of equipment please refer to Chapter 4.
WorldSpace Satellite Receiver
We have included a WorldSpace digital satellite radio receiver with permanent antenna for the
ability of receiving music, news and other information. See www.worldspace.com.
