ON AIR STUDIO
The basic requirement of a Community Radio Station would be for a common ‘On-Air’ and ‘Programme
Production Studio’, which will be acoustically treated,requirements of recording, editing and storage in the
analog and digital domains, besides meeting the requirements of an ‘On-Air Studio. The recording and
playback facilities will center around a hard disk based system assisted by compact disc and cassette players
etc.
VOICE OVER BOOTH (DISCUSSION STUDIO)
The next step is to include a voice over booth (VOB) in addition to the On-Air Cum Production Studio. VOB is
an acoustically treated booth designed to optimize on the requirements of spoken word programming. The
room will be suitable to accommodate 4 participants and the proceedings from there can either be recorded
or put live on the air through the ‘On-Air Studio’. Provision is available for the participants to listen to the
programmes on high quality headphones.
PRODUCTION STUDIO
A Separate Production Studio can be provided for the stations where more quantum of in-house production
is anticipated. The production studio will be equipped with recording / editing and storage devices. This will
enable uninterrupted production activities even while the station is on air. The production studio can also
serve the purpose of a ‘Backup Studio’ for ‘On-Air Studio’ in case of any emergency.
