Voice Radio can now broadcast outside thanks to the Big Lottery Fund!  Voice Radio applied to the Big Lottery Fund to purchase a portable broadcasting kit to get out into the heart of the community.  A bid was submitted in January 2008, and after three months of nervous waiting, we were pleased to receive the news that we were to receive £4,800 to purchase the equipment.  A huge thank you to the support from the Big Lottery Fund!

The outside broadcasting kit is of the very highest standards, purchased directly from the specialists at Psquared.  

The kit (which is all connected to a high-spec PA System when at events) comprises of the following equipment :

• 1 D&R Airmate eight triple channel audio mixer housed in secure Mixer Flight Case
• 1 19” rack flight case rack pod containing twin CD players & 1 rack mount playout Myriad  PC with multi-channel sound card
• Myriad professional playout software used throughout the broadcast radio industry, and Myriad Voice Tracking Module allowing you to add voice links either locally or remotely
• 1 17” LCD computer monitor
• 1 K500 Myriad special keyboard for use with Myriad playout software
• 1 pair of active studio monitor powered speakers
• 1 studio main presenter microphone
• 2 guest microphones for 2nd presenter or guests
• 2 angle poise mic arms fitted with desk clamps
• 2 headphones
• 1 mic live light sign that illuminates when the mic is on
• 1 radio wall clock synchronised via radio for perfect time

The equipment is used whilst out on the Road in the Mobile Road Show and Broadcasting Unit, and you can find out more by clicking here!
