Glasgow Caledonian University by Les Johnstone

Digital vs AnalogueSynergy 2 Systems are fully digital. This means that rather than connecting the various sources such as microphones, CD players and telephone balance units to dedicated channels on a mixer, all sources connect to a digital router called a Master Processing Unit (MPU).

The advantage of this is that any source can be routed to any one of the eight or sixteen faders on Synergy’s digital mixing desk. Users can save and load their configuration and additional sources can easily be added to the router without having to re-cable or run untidy wires to the mixing desk on a regular basis.

Key features

Support like no otherBecause Clyde Broadcast manufacture the Synergy 2 Master Processing Unit (MPU), the digital mixing desk and also the Synergy 2 Software suite, our customer support team can access all of the hardware to test, diagnose and perform updates, all via an internet connection. No bouncing around suppliers when equipment is updated or you have a question about any part of the technology.

Simple, yet sophisticatedEase of use is at the heart of Synergy 2 technology. Unmatched integration between the mixer, router and software makes Synergy incredibly simple to operate, whilst being extremely upgradable and feature rich.

Traditional mixing desks often feature lots of buttons. The Synergy 2 digital mixing desk is the ONLY radio broadcast mixer that is designed and manufactured by the same company who develop the software, Clyde Broadcast products.

Synergy installations can be found extensively within commercial, community, government and education facilities. It is the most popular all-in-one digital radio solution in the world!

Mixing DeskCD/USB Player

PC

Telephone Balance Unit

Credible radio broadcast mixing desks are very

different to music production or midi-controller

mixers. Professional broadcast mixers have the

ability to control not just the PC’s software but also

popular external sources such as CD/USB players

and telephone balance units, both industry standard

equipment.

All of our radio station packages include a

Professional radio broadcast mixing desk as

standard.

Mixing DeskBoth presenters and guests wi l l require

microphones if they are to be heard on the radio.

Microphones can differ in price and quality with the

presenter usually having a higher quality

microphone. While speaking, both presenter and

guest will always be wearing headphones as the

studio speakers switch-off automatically when the

microphones are in use.

All of our education packages come with at

least two microphones and headphones.

Microphones and Headphones

Modern radio studios use touch screen monitors.

They are better than the traditional ‘clunky’

keyboard operation as they reduce noise, are not

limited by the number of available buttons and help

to keep the presenters operation of the equipment

central to the playlist they will be following.

All of our education packages include a 22”

wide, touch screen monitor as standard.

Touch Screen

The Mic Live indicator is an essential part of

any radio station. It connects to the

professional radio broadcast mixing desk and

automatically illuminates when a microphone

fader is open, to warn those close by that any

noise, could be recorded or broadcast.

All of our education packages include a

Dual Mic Live/On-Air indicator as

standard. All Premium packages include

two Dual Mic Live/On-Air Indicators so

one can be mounted outside of the studio

room.

Mic Live/On Air Indicator

All S-radio and Synergy systems include an

industrial, rack-mountable PC. Unlike off-the-shelf

PC’s, a radio studios PC requires more than just one

sound card to give the presenter the tools they

require to host a live radio show.

Our studio PC’s include two digital dual sound-cards

and are able to broadcast a pre-recorded show, at

the same time as recording an interview or

telephone call for later broadcast. It is also possible

to preview audio, without it being broadcast, so you

can practice your links for upcoming music tracks

without disturbing the listeners.

PC

Also known as TBU’s, this clever hardware

enables you to make and receive phone calls

while on-air. Broadcast your caller ‘live’ or

simply record them ‘off-air’ for later broadcast.

TBU’s enable phone-in’s for competitions and

interviews with guests who may not be able to

make it to the school.

All of our Premium packages include a

Telephone Balance Unit as standard.

How is the radio station broadcast

StreamingStreaming is a great way to listen

to your radio broadcasts via an

internet or local network

connection.

All S-Radio and Synergy education

systems include streaming software

so that you can listen to the radio

station from day one, live, via a

web-browser or connected media

player within your school.

PA and SpeakersOne of the most popular and

reliable ways to broadcast around

the school is to install an amplifier

and speakers in locations where

you would like your radio shows to

be heard.

Speakers are commonly located in

corridors, canteen areas and

outside, playground areas.

A

On the AirwavesIf you plan to broadcast on FM or

AM, all of our radio packages for

education are compatible with

transmission equipment that can be

hired or purchased.

We can assit you with the license

application, the equipment you will

require and the training you will

need to make for a successful RSL

(Restricted Service License) project

Save to MP3On Air, the radio play-out software

that comes pre-installed with all

education packages, has been

specifically designed to make

recording easy.

At the press of a button, the ‘Quick

Record’ feature enables you to

record your live radio show, or just

record the microphones and

telephone lines ‘off air’ without

disrupting a live show.

Do I need a license to broadcast?If you plan to play copyright music on your radio station, then you are likely to need a license. The type of license required

is determined by how and where you plan to broadcast. Below is a list of popular licenses that are required for a school to play

copyright music within their own building through to broadcasting over the airwaves on AM or FM.

• Performing Rights Society (PRS for music) - Required to listen to copyright music within a publicly licensed building

• Public Performance License (PPL) - Required to listen to copyright music within a publicly licensed building

• Student Radio License - Required to broadcast copyright music within a schools building using wired speakers or a network connection

• Limited On-line Music License (LOML) - Required to broadcast copyright music to the world wide web

• Restricted Service License (RSL) - Required for FM or AM broadcasts

For more information about licensing please visit our website: www.synergyschoolradio.com or contact us: 0141 565 2418
