LO1: Radio equipment

 Radio Equipment




What equipment you would need:

A computer with radio software. This will transmit the audio from the microphone to the radio station.

 A microphone, an arm to hold it and a shockmount. The arm stops the microphone falling or moving so it doesn't effect the audio quality when you are moving it or speaking into it. The microphone should be of good quality. The shockmount stops any vibrations.

Headphones or speakers so you can hear what is going on and you can check how your voice sounds and the audio in general.

A mixer or broadcasting desk to control the audio and piece it together so it broadcasts to the radio station smoothly.

Audio interface to create good audio and so the computer can read the audio. 

A Talent Panel is like a mixer for the radio guests (although not optional) so they can change their own audio settings and switch the mic on and off if they need to.

Microphone processor so the microphone audio levels are consistent and don't go dodgy. And to make your voice sound clearer and better for the radio.
