Product Code: Radio , Price: 9
Despite the massive growth in media channels and technologies, radio continues to be the world’s most sought after medium. Easy to establish, inexpensive to operate, accessible and powerful. Radio is a valuable asset in education, whether it is as a teaching tool, for institutional communication, or simply as a recreational activity for students.
With the growth of digital radio, and emerging concepts of personalisation via the internet and mobile phone, the medium is about to undergo a further revolution. As a means of mass communication radio remains and is likely to remain one of the most cost-effective and readily accessible mediums.
Studio Considerations and Information
Designes for Purpose
SYNERGY and S-RADIO Packages have been designed through a partnership between Clyde Broadcast Products, Commercial Broadcasters and UK Educationalists. For the first time, ANY teacher or pupil can produce a professional sounding radio show on day one!
Fully integrated, SYNERGY and S-RADIO studios are quick to learn, have touch screens as standard and are un-intimidating for first time broadcasters, helping to challenge creativity rather than create a ‘barrier to learning’
Connectivity - Synergy
All SYNERGY Radio Studios come complete with a 22” touch screen, SYNERGY’s FULLY digital mixing desk, Digital Audio Router (MPU), Networkable PC with 500GB storage and streaming facility built-in. SYNERGY Professional Broadcast Software Suite for; Play-out, Podcast Recording, Scheduling, Production, Editing and Administration. Microphones, Headphones and monitor speakers. Two days ‘on-site’ training.
Due to it’s unique digital design, you can have up to thirty-three input sources connected to SYNERGY at anyone time, then pick and chose which eight you want to access for your radio broadcast. Default and user profiles are set-up so that at the press of a button, your classroom teacher can have a simple set-up with perhaps a couple of microphones and access to the playlist music, while your ‘radio club’ could have access to a telephone, audio from the internet, CD players, even a connection to your music technology department for a ‘live lounge’ broadcast.
What is so unique about SYNERGY is that on the surface it is extremely simple and easy to use, but its digital design makes it virtually unlimited to features and capabilities.
Connectivity - S-Radio
ALL S-RADIO Studios come complete with a 22” touch screen, S-RADIO Professional Hybrid mixing desk, Networkable PC with 250GB storage and streaming facility built-in, S-RADIO Professional Broadcast Software Suite for; Play-out, Podcast Recording, Scheduling, Production and Editing. Microphones, Headphones and Monitor Speakers. Four x one hour on-line training sessions.
The S-RADIO mixing desk has been specifically designed to overcome the traditional pitfalls of analogue mixing desks when used for radio broadcasting in an education environment. Removing all the ‘Don’t Need’ features of an analogue mixing desk when used in an education environment, ensures a simple to use interface that is no longer intimidating for first time broadcasters and easy to reset when fingers stray!
S-RADIO is a hybrid product as it does not have a digital router like SYNERGY. This means that you can connect a total of eight sources to S-RADIO with dedicated channels enabling you to connect 3 x microphones, 1 x telephone, S-RADIO’s PC and Software leaving a Channel spare for the CD Player or other line audio-in.
Easy to Ship, Easy to Install
The SYNERGY Portable and S-RADIO Compact are skilfully integrated with specialist technical furniture requiring no installation. Designed and manufactured in-house, the core-components are pre-wired and securely rack-mounted into the furniture requiring just minutes to plug-in the headphones and microphones.
The larger SYNERGY and S-RADIO Studio systems are also extremely simple to ‘assemble’ with common ‘flat-pack’ style instructions or assembly on-site by
