TWiRT 264 - Live Mixing for Engineers with Larry Wilkins

More radio stations and larger podcasters are building and using performance studios.  Mixing live audio is once again a needed skill.  Indeed, it’s critical for the performers’ monitors, in-studio audience, and for the live broadcast itself.  Larry Wilkins is retired from a broadcast engineering career and now teaching the fundamentals and the fine points of live audio mixing.

TWiRT 263 - RDS & RDS2 with Alan Jurison

The Radio Data System - RDS - has been on-air in the US since the mid 1980’s.  Good for what it does - identifying FM stations and providing call letters and basic program information.  What if we could double or triple the data rate, allowing more text, graphics and even supporting return data via IP or SMS? iHeart Media Senior Operations Engineer, Alan Jurison, joins Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack to find out about RDS2.

TWiRT 262 - Braden Pickett and IP STLs

More radio engineers are installing IP radios as Studio-Transmitter Links - or STLs.  Even in - and perhaps especially in - rural areas like Altus, Oklahoma, where the terrain is flat and unlicensed WiFi bands are relatively uncluttered. Braden Pickett joins Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack, talking about IP radio equipment selection and configuration.

TWiRT 261 - Remote Possibilities

TV stations are doing it.  TV networks are doing it.  Big corporations and SMBs are doing it. So why aren’t radio stations doing it?  We’re talking about IP connections with remote offices, moving vehicles, concerts and sports venues, and just about anywhere you’d want to broadcast from - and do it reliably with bonded wireless data connections. Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack explore the affordable tech that makes this possible.
