Good-looking Furniture Oozing Professionalism One of the main reasons why people keep coming back to use our Solutions packages is because of the high quality of the technical furniture, in deep solid ash with high quality, hard wearing grey nairn surfaces. The nairn surfaces are not only robust but also have good acoustic qualities - items dropped on the surface produce a dull thud to which the microphone is not sensitive. Appearances are important, even on radio ! As your customers and visitors walk into your studios, they are going to feel that they’ve walked into a professional, smooth-running, radio station. The furniture is modular, so it can be used for a small L-shaped production or talks studio, through to a larger U-shaped on-air studio. It’s easy to fit together with larger internal spaces for cable routing, so from every angle, the furniture looks neat, orderly and professional. If you need additions to the woodwork, or modifications, we can produce woodwork to your design but which can integrate with our standard furniture to save costs.

SOL-D12 12U Top Pod

Ease of Assembly and Ease of Use The furniture has been designed to be easily shipped and then quickly assembled by you on-site. The woodwork is packaged in protective cartons and simple instructions allow you to assemble the furniture rapidly and with a minimum of tools. The SOL-B12 12U support base pod has adjustable feet and provides a solid platform for the SOL-S1000 side-return. The side return can also be supported by SOL-LDD80 grey legs which have adjustable feet ensuring that the work-tops are steady and level. The studio furniture is ergonomically designed to house all of the technical equipment and to place frequently used items within easy reach of the presenter. There is a choice of top-pods to house the equipment - SOL-D8 This is an 8U high ash top-pod which can be placed virtually anywhere (*) on the work-surface to suite the presenter. It usually contains 2 x CD players and 2 x minidisc recorder/players, but can house any equipment. SOL-D12 This 12U high ash top-pod allows more space for further equipment that needs to be close to the presenter, for example, an additional cassette recorder, telephone hybrid or CD recorder. SOL-T12 This consists of 2 x 6U racks mounted on legs above the work-surface, so that you can use the space underneath for CD/minidisc storage or for paperwork. * Note that whilst the SOL-D8 and SOL-D12 are movable on the desk-top, their position needs to be relatively fixed in order to cover the cable hole underneath the units which routes cables from the top-pod to the mixer.

Pre-Wired Cabling The packages come complete with prewired cabling, each cable connecting directly from the equipment to the mixer, so that your studio can be up & running in only a few hours. Cabling includes the power distribution, remote control and audio connections to and from the mixer. All the cables can be hidden from view allowing a simple, tidy installation. The SOL-CVRC cable covers can be fitted wherever you need cable access through the desktop surface, for example, for microphone leads, or PC monitor cables. For more complex installations, the cabling can be wired to Krone blocks for ease of future adjustment and maintenance.

There are two main types of layout depending on whether you want a single large mixer, or a split console with 2 smaller mixers connected together, but leaving a centre space for PC monitors.

S2 Solutions Single Mixer Furniture This furniture is for use if you want to use a single mixer, i.e. not a split-frame. With both guest and presenter positions, the package is ideal for hospital radios, RSLs (restricted service licenses), sports grounds, colleges and university media studies departments, as well as community and commercial radio stations. The desktop into which the mixer rests can be either 1.3m (SOL-M1300) or 1.5m (SOL-M1500) in width, depending on the size of the mixer, or the space that you have available. If you need a different size desktop, then contact Sonifex sales department. The S2 Solutions Single Mixer Package features the Sonifex S2 broadcast console combined with quality broadcasting equipment. The basic furniture is L-shaped and can be installed either left or right-handed, with the SOL-CVR80 end panel protecting the end which is on display. An additional corner desktop and side return can be added to make it U-shaped, allowing more space for turntables, a PC, or a further guest position. The configuration of the S2 mixer depends on the equipment that you need for your studio. See the S2 mixer brochure for more information on the input channels available. A simple on-air studio package can consist of 1 high quality presenter microphone and 1 guest microphone on adjustable microphone arms, 2 pairs of headphones and a pair of small book-end speakers mounted on desktop speaker stands behind the mixer. There are various audio sources readily available to the presenter to create programme content. For the playback of advertisements, jingles, sweepers, trails, news items and music, 2 broadcast minidisc recorders can be provided that use low cost standard media to record digital audio. 2 broadcast CD players can play music on CD and either a cassette deck, or CD recorder are ideal for giving guests copies of interviews, or for sending commercials to clients. For playout automation systems, we can recommend manufacturers to contact and these can be integrated into the package quite easily. The 12U support base pod contains all the remaining studio equipment. An approved telephone hybrid, mixer power supply and power amplifier can be included. An opto-isolated, illuminated “mic live” sign can be located outside the studio door and lights when either the presenter’s or guest’s microphone channels are active. A studio clock is also essential, although this can be built into the S2 mixer if required. It’s worth noting that the choice, variety and quality of available equipment is large and it changes frequently with models being superseded by newer versions. So, we’ll recommend whatever equipment is available at the time of your enquiry.

Single Mixer Furniture, L-Shaped Single Mixer Furniture, U-Shaped

S2 Solutions Split Mixer Furniture This furniture is for use with an S2 split mixer (i.e. 10-15 channel frame on one side and 10-15 channel frame on the other). The S2 Solutions split mixer furniture comprises U-shaped woodwork which allows space for 1 to 3 TFT monitor screens in the centre of the presenter’s vision, for example, for automated playout, or editing, systems. This package has space for 2 guest seating positions, behind the mixers, and is useful if you have more space, or need a larger on-air studio. Ideal for small scale radio, local radio or smaller studios in larger stations. The choice of equipment is similar to that of the S2 Solutions single mixer furniture except that with the larger space available, you can expand the range and quality of the other equipment chosen, for example, you may need an additional guest microphone and pair of headphones, a headphone distribution amplifier, an additional telephone hybrid to have 2 callers on-air simultaneously, an audio codec to conduct outside broadcasts, etc. What if You Need Different Equipment? Whilst these packages offer a high quality solution for installing a radio studio, it is inevitable that there may be differences in the exact equipment that you require and generally speaking, no two installations are alike. Often, additional sources are required, such as turntables and ISDN codecs. Talkback panels can be added and, when combined with the Sonifex Station Master studio switcher and router, a number of studios can be connected together to control on-air switching. Because of this, we can offer you a complete installation service quoting any equipment that you would like. We’ve installed central technical areas as well as studios and fitted krone cabling on some installations, providing a turnkey solution for smaller radio stations. For a detailed quote on the S2 Solutions furniture and radio studio packages, contact Sonifex Ltd outlining your requirements. It’s useful to know from you the type and quantity of studios that you need, the kind of equipment that you’re looking for and an approximate budget. We can then tailor a solution to meet your needs. “From opening the boxes to connecting the last lead took exactly 65 minutes ! The best thing was that when I switched on the mains power to the system, it all worked first time.” Tim Ashburner, World Radio Network “Your Solutions studio is a delight. It was assembled ready for operation within half a day. No problems, no hitches. Rodney Wheelan, Broadcast Services
