NEW FOR MARCH 2012
Themed Radio Workshops
New for this term, we've teamed up with some experts in their
fields to bring you a
Religious Education Radio Workshop with Sharon Artley, a
MFL Radio Workshop with Joe Dale and an
E-Safety and Digital Literacy Radio Workshop with Simon Finch.
These are whole day live radio workshops with specific curriculum themes running
right through them. We provide everything included consultancy before we
arrive to ensure that we meet all of your learning objectives on the day.
This is a fixed price workshop for up to 40 pupils or students at both primary
and secondary level, larger groups can be arranged. These well known
experts will work with Russell to bring you a live radio broadcast towards the
end of your school day. Anyone can listen into the show, typically schools
will send invitations to parents and supporters of the school or establishment
so that they can tune into the Internet Radio Station at the allotted time.
The broadcasts are available live on the world-wide Anderton Tiger Radio
Channel, so twinned schools or World Class Schools can listen in too. A
podcast of the show is given to the school at the end of the activity.
We consistently score top 5 Star marks with all of our products, there are also some great independent reviews of our School Radio
products on the
Innovate My School Website.
This is what our customers are saying about us "The children quickly acquired (within an
hour) the basic skills necessary to produce a live broadcast using jingles."
"The Broadcaster Desktop is one of the best things our school has purchased."

The Desktop Radio Station is being used for all the BETT Radio broadcasts, and live at BETT 2012 from Stephen Heppell's New Worlds of Learning Central Feature
We
have created our lowest cost product so that more of you may
benefit from the thrill of live broadcasting. Our unique
approach to having the computer do all of the complex mixing has
enabled us to offer the functionality at this incredibly low
cost. You
start with the minimum amount of equipment needed to broadcast
professionally. Then as you develop your capability and
resources permit, you can build your system up into a brilliant
fully specified Twin dual touch-screen monitor system that has
two guest capability. All without compromising your previous
investment. Flight cases can be purchased separately saving
you cost if you don't
need to regularly move your Broadcaster Desktop at first.
We've
been building Radio Stations since 2009 and our customers have experienced an
incredibly high level of reliability with our own specialised
Industrial PC and Digital Sound Control Centre so we have kept
this as the central component for our Broadcaster Desktop.
Booting from a solid state hard drive into Windows 7 is
exceptionally quick and the Two Disk RAID1 500GB Hard Disk Array
will ensure your jingles and music files remain backed up at all
times. Not one of our existing customers has lost a file
through a single hard disk failure. The 23" Touch Screen
is a joy to work with, it has increased screen real-estate that
we have been able to use to bring more functionality at a lower
cost. The ON AIR and MIC LIVE lights are now on-screen, an
external dual illuminated sign is available as a cost option and
can be added at anytime in the future. Every possible upgrade path has been
considered so we can provide you with an effective way of
growing your system when resources permit.
The M-Audio AC30 Desktop Monitor Speakers are small and
surprisingly powerful rated at 15w each. As you would expect with any
sophisticated broadcasting solution, these speakers are
automatically muted when a microphone channel is opened.
Two pairs of the XPX2000 DJ Headphones are included as standard,
they are chunky, sound amazing and have an excellent high
definition bass response. As all of the mixing is done in
a true digital state, the Behringer Flying Fader desk can be
remotely controlled by our software, allowing our unique One
Touch Autofade to assist young or inexperienced broadcasters to
have a great live show.
