Tech Notes from the Field

We’ve been busy. We took delivery of the studio furniture last week. As of today we are about 85% complete. Almost all the audio is wired and we have a little bit of control to do. All in all, I would say we are on target to be complete by the end of next week if all continues smoothly.

Even though it is a basic studio, it is amazing the amount of cable that is used. We created a split console situation using an SAS SL-24 and SL-8. We have studio monitors, producer monitor, and screener monitor. There is even a monitor for the studio audience when they have one. It is quite a configuration.

Our next task is turning up the ENCO DAD computer, VoxPro, and DAW. We are running two VoxPro controllers on one machine. All are networked. As the main studio and producer will share the same devices we are splitting the computer monitors for them. We intend to KVM one monitor to be the screener software monitor for the main talent. Logistics, my boy.

It is sweet to watch your creation come to life. I see it in the talent’s response. I’ll be satisfied when it is done. I’ll even post some pictures.
