Equipments

Headphone - are used to monitor the actual output of the broadcast and for the user to clearly perceive if
the transmission of the AM broadcast is a success.

Microphone Kit professional condenser microphone that capture rich, full-bodied sound from sources
that are directly in front of the microphone. The cardioid pick-up pattern minimizes background noise and
isolates the main sound source.

Mixing console is an electronic device that process signal with amplification and EQ. It is also capable of
combining signals in a variety of ways.

Telephone hybrid can also be called as telephone balance units (TBUs) provide the interface between
professional audio equipment and the public telephone network. They provide protection for the equipment
and the public telephone lines, allowing for varying line signals and line conditions. Automatically cancelling
out the unwanted signal they also facilitate two-way communication down a single telephone line.

Distribution amplifier - a device that accepts a single input signal and provides this same signal to
multiple isolated outputs. These devices are important because they allow the signal to be distributed to
multiple destinations without signal degradation.

Stereo processor has a feature a wide range of timing control as well as integrated side chain filtering
and parallel processing. Strap it across a stereo (or mono) source, turn the drive and blend to taste.

Computer - Computers have numbers of uses in a radio station. It is a useful tool in a radio station. In this
design, computer will be used to play music and for editing purposes. The use of computer to play sound
such as recorded music or programs need to have a piece of hardware inside called soundcard.

Digital STL Transmitter & Receiver - STL sends a radio station's audio from the broadcast studio to a
radio transmitter or in another location. These are often necessary because even in flat regions, the center
of the station's allowed coverage area may not be near the studio location or within a populated area where
a transmitter would be restricted upon by the community, so the antenna must be placed several miles or
kilometers away.

15 KW Solid State transmitter is an electronic device which, when connected to an antenna, produces
an electromagnetic signal such as in radio and television broadcasting, two way communications or radar.

Monopole Antenna - a straight rod-shaped conductor, often mounted perpendicularly over some type of
conductive surface, called a ground plane. The driving signal from the transmitter is applied, or for receiving
antennas the output signal to the receiver is taken, between the lower end of the monopole and the ground
plane. One side of the antenna feed line is attached to the lower end of the monopole, and the other side is
attached to the ground plane, which is often the Earth. This contrasts with a dipole antenna which consists
of two identical rod conductors, with the signal from the transmitter applied between the two halves of the
antenna.

Uninterruptable Power Supply also known as battery/flywheel backup is an electrical apparatus that
provides emergency power to a load when the input power source, typically mains power, fails. A UPS
differs from an auxiliary or emergency power system or standby generator in that it will provide nearinstantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries, super
capacitors, or flywheels.

Flexible Coaxial - a type of transmission line used in AM broadcasting.

Acoustic Foam is use for acoustic treatment to be placed on the ceiling of the AM Studio, effectively
eliminating all resonance within the room.

Maxiboard - is a patented composite board manufactured from cement and gypsum with an acoustic
membrane core.

Acoustic Mat - is composed of light weight, closed cell, extruded polyethylene foam. It is placed between
the subfloor and a plywood or gypsum concrete overlayment to create an isolation layer for sound
vibrations and impact noises such as foot traffic.

Laminated Glass - is recommended to be use in studios because aside from the fact that it is a safety
glass which is also to be considered in designing interior spaces It can also help to lower noise levels, as its
interlayer can give the glass a higher sound insulation rating.
