The PRODUCTION STUDIO
[attachment=28296]
Layout of a Production Studio
In a small radio station, the production studio is usually located where ever it fits (record library, engineering area)
A top-of-the-line studio is a setup with multi-track mixing capabilities for recording and remixing original music.
Before, most large studio setups feature a glassed-in area between the main control room and the studio
The glass divides the performance area of the studio from the control area
The glass is typically double-layered and the panes are not set parallel to each other or to the studio wall, to prevent internal and external reflections of sound.
THE PRODUCTION STUDIO EQUIPMENT
A production studio’s equipment duplicates what’s in an on-air studio. The minimum equipment usually includes:
A console CD players
Microphone MP3 Players
Two cart machines Computers
Tape recorders
Turntables
THE PRODUCTION STUDIO FURNITURE
A computer monitor should be about 2 feet away from the announcer and the top-most
screen line should fall slightly below eye level
Monitors that are placed too high, perhaps on top of a studio module,
can cause neck strain.
Some monitors can be kept off the studio furniture by using a special wall-mounted or ceiling mounted TV boom.
Flat screen monitors offer more mounting options, take up less space, and are aesthetically
pleasing in the audio studio.
The computer keyboard should be placed in line with the monitor rather than
off to the side.
Most studio furniture is manufactured of plywood or particleboard
with a laminate surface;
A few modern radio counters are employing a solid-surface countertop of
Corian or similar kitchen-counter type material
Both custom-built and modular cabinets and counters are also designed to provide easy access to the numerous cables necessary to wire all the studio equipment together while maintaining an attractive image for the look of the studio.
Other cabinets or storage modules are also available for CDs, records, tapes, and other material that’s kept in the production studio. (Examples: Monitor Speaker, Audio Console Mic ,CD Audio Recorder)
Studio Sound Considerations
The radio production’s physical make up will affect the sound produced in it.
The goal in studio design is to manipulate these sound characteristics to create a proper sound environment for production work.
Sound isolation, noise and vibration control, and room acoustics are some characteristics of sound that needs to be considered in designing a radio production studio.
Studio Construction Materials
Radio studios utilize soundproofing to achieve sound isolation.
Doors are heavy-duty and tightly sealed;
Windows are often double glass with the interior pane slanted downward to minimize reflected sounds;
Walls, ceiling, and flooring use special sound-treatment materials.
Example: studio walls may be covered with acoustically treated and designed panels that both absorb and trap reflected sounds.
