ABSTRACT
The design and installation of systems in a broadcast plant are a discipline that requires a set of skills that is not easily learned on the job as an engineer in a broadcast station. The skills required are both technical and business related. Fundamentally, the most important skills are technical system design analysis and implementation, skilled wiring, and project management. Understandably, one of the mistaken technical approaches often used is to replicate a design or layout that one has seen in other installations. This leads to systems that are not optimized for local needs and conditions and that will not often achieve goals.
