ABSTRACT

The reader knows that one of the control console’s functions is to route program signal to wherever necessary. The console output is fed by wire circuits to wherever its use is required. A one-studio radio station might have lines out only to its transmitter. A recording company could employ internal lines from its control room console, one line for each program channel, to an input of its mastering tape recorder. The loudspeakers used for various rooms are chosen based on reproductive quality needed in a particular area. A console monitoring circuit output, usually of the program on the air, is fed to a monitor buss. This buss then feeds loudspeakers throughout the station, in the station manager’s office, the program director’s office, the chief engineer’s office, employee lounge, sponsor’s auditioning room, and the station’s reception room. Warning light lines are not console outputs, but because they are operated by relays within the console.
