<div>Hello ian thanks for your comment , I used standard phones because the ip encoders I bought when we first started only take them , we encode at PCM which runs about 1400kbs through our 5.8ghz ip links and we have a throughput of around 60/70 meg so it
barely touches it this also allows us to backup pcs off site onto a nas drive ,the studio switches are key operated so only if you have the key can you switch ! Also both our broadcast desks are phone inputs and outputs and so are our soundcards , dj decks
CDjs etc , I have added a few isolating transformers to cut out any possible noise , and we also have a 6kw ups system so it conditions the electric as well to the studios , ive also installed a VoIP system and managed to fit an old Sonifex analog system on
to it saving the cost of buying a VoIP telephone interface. Google google google , then try lol , cheers <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Mark
<div>Well done for making your own switcher!<br>
I notice that some of the feeds are on phonos - hence not balanced.</div>
<div>We wouldn't risk that in a live studio.</div>
<div>Aren't you concerned that presenters by operating the switch can re-route programming without permission?<br>

<div>If you have the time to learn how to do things yourself , you can fix things , bring in new ideas , grow , don't pay to keep what you already have running , I've built a studio switch over unit from scratch , it switches between studios at the push of
a button they are both streaming to the transmission site where they are recorded , so if studio 1 is live on fm and internet studio 2 is streaming on the net and being recorded if you push a button in either studios it switches around but keeping the urls
the same so the net links don't change , this allows people to practice and pre record shows without having to set up recording software ( or hard ware ) and all the levels are set if they keep out of the reds on the meters . With a little imagination you
can build quite a lot !! <br>

<p dir="ltr">In 1991-1995 I did some work for HWD Hospital Radio in Dewsbury (and was both Engineer and Programme Manager for a short while). The organisation was fairly hand-to-mouth, but the studios looked very impressive and nothing looked Heath Robinson.
No errant wiring, neat carpet on the walls, good lighting and a decently-sized studio, with decent carpentry and everything.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a result, none of the guests ever left thinking "mickey mouse outfit"; and we were able to get significantly more donations from local businesses than we'd have had if we were in a shed or a caravan.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I also visited CFM in Carlisle once. Built in a Portakabin in the car park of Border TV, it was rather more "mickey mouse" than HWD!</p>
<p dir="ltr">A healthy office space is good for the people who work on the station, good for potential funding organisations, and in many cases makes the station sound better, too. I don't think there's much benefit in pretending otherwise.<br>
