We’re back with the last part of this series of articles on how to build your own radio studio! Today we’ll be showing you how we finished the preparations of the table\u00a0and installed\u00a0<\/strong>all of the technical equipment.<\/p>\n

Let’s finish the table!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

As you probably saw in Part<\/strong> 1<\/strong><\/a>, we drilled 5 holes in the table to insert the microphone arms. Once we tested it and checked that the arms fitted perfectly, we took them off in order to sand down the table <\/strong>to make sure that it was nice and smooth. We were then able to begin painting the first undercoat. <\/strong>We repeated this process (alternating between sanding and painting) 3 times.\"\"

Building our rack<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The top part of the rack (1)<\/strong> corresponds to our headphones amplifier.<\/strong> The bottom of the rack (2)<\/strong> corresponds to our microphone amplifier.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that the table has been sanded and covered in an undercoat, we moved onto painting it with our\u00a0grey resin finish. <\/strong>Bearing in mind that it takes around 6 hours to dry properly, we did the first coat in the morning and then a second coat at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Acoustic treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

While we waited for our table to dry, we began working on the acoustic treatment<\/strong> of the room. Teddy, our studio expert, analysed the room and decided that we’d need to put some\u00a0acoustic mousse<\/strong>\u00a0on the walls to help absorb the reverb. We simply used a special glue, adapted for this purpose, to put it up on the wall.\"\"

Connecting our equipment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that our resin finish is dry, we added a final finishing coat on the table for protection. We can now\u00a0permanently install the table<\/strong> in our studio. We decided to attach our table directly to the wall, with\u00a0the rack underneath (placed by the host’s chair) which will also help support the table.\"\"

Here’s a reminder of our technical set up that we explained in Part 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Here is what our new home-made radio studio looks like!\u00a0<\/span>\"\"
