Rise of the Console 

The reality is that there aren't that many analog consoles made any more, and installing them, in the old-fashioned way, just isn't that economical

Wheatstone Bridge 

The Wheatstone Bridge is built around card-configurable frames that can sample any combination of analog or digital audio sources and interface with logic control sources.

When it's time to move 

Adding rooms and extra parking spaces to an existing building doesn't always work, as Entercom Kansas City found out. Deciding to make the move was only one part of the process.

Designing an audio network 

With the explosion in computer networking over the last 10 years, audio equipment manufacturers have taken notice of the new ways in which information (whatever that information consists of) is moved from one point to another.

KPAM moves forward 

Pamplin's new studios would be extensive: two on-air studios, one control room, one news anchor booth, one full newsroom, one traffic studio, three production studios, one master control and a server room. In the end, the upgrade positions the station to be ready for the challenges of the future.

A new level of control 

Stations with one control room or modest means can still use the analog consoles, but the possibilities offered by digital make it attractive to stations that want to build an integrated audio system.

Logitek Mosaic 

Built to be rugged, the Mosaic provides a traditional console look to the flexibility of control from the Logitek Audio Engine.

Sign Off 

The patch bay once ruled supreme, but this is true no more.

Klotz Digital Aeon 

This modular audio control surface has a low profile and functions with three major components: the control surface, an electronics frame and a power supply.

Redefining a heritage 

After 79 years on the 23rd floor of its Times Square location, it was time for WOR to move its operations.

SAS Rubicon, Riolink and 32KD 

Radiovisa in Los Angeles has installed a consolidated router and console system from SAS. The system reduces the cabling needs as well as the in-studio equipment needs for the stations.

Digigram Exaudi 

Now that individual computers take care of all the tasks related to radio automation, the logical evolution is integration of audio transport for program contributions and distribution.

Connections 

The lines between audio and data are blurred further every day. Recent technology and product introductions take this even further.

The Future is now at Clear Channel Cincinnati 

After spending 15 years high atop Frog's Mountain, Clear Channel has successfully consolidated four AM stations, two FM stations, five radio networks, 250 personnel -- including 75 on-air and engineering staff -- under one roof.

Digigram Ethersound ES8in/ES8out 

The not-for-profit station WBHF-AM (1450) was faced with some challenges when it moved its studio in 2003 from a corporate location outside of town to the bucolic historical district.
