Location

relax for radio

  • Noise: Choose the quietest room for broadcasting, preferably one where you can make as much noise as you want.
  • Size: Choose a room that fits your needs, with an area for equipment and free space in case you need it.
  • Acoustics: Choose a carpeted room with few or small windows to minimise reverberations.

Equipment

relax for radio

  1. Computer: Most computers/laptops will be fine, as long as they have USB ports and a headphone jack.
  2. Microphone: Easy to setup USB plug and play mics.
  3. Stand & Shockmount: Reduce vibrations for better sounding audio.
  4. Headphones: Basic headphones or earphones will do the trick.
