Engineering Team is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

What do we do?

From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

Studio 1

The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a Sonifex S2 split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

Studio 2

Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.
