If you read our first article on creating your Home Radio Studio<\/a><\/em><\/span>, you should now have all the necessary equipment to set up your studio. So, let’s dive right in and look at how to assemble<\/strong> and connect<\/strong> your very own radio studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you’re broadcasting with multiple microphones, you will also need multiple XLR Cables.<\/em><\/p>\n

Top Tip: <\/strong>Use a microphone stand as this will allow you to have your hands free during your live session.<\/em><\/p>\n

2\/ Connecting your headphones<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Simply connect your headphones to the \u00ab\u00a0PHONES<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb output on your mixer. If your headphones are not compatible, you should be able to find an adapter that will allow you to plug them in.<\/p>\n

3\/<\/strong> Connecting your computer<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Simply use the USB cable<\/strong> from your mixer to connect it directly to your computer. This cable allows you to receive the output from your mixer and use it directly from your computer’s broadcasting software<\/a><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

If your computer doesn’t have a USB port, you can purchase an adapter that will allow you to plug your mixer in. <\/p>\n

4\/ Additional audio sources for your radio studio<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Finally, if you want to use a second device to manage your music or invite one of your listeners on the air<\/strong>, connect that computer\/phone or tablet<\/strong> line directly to your mixer<\/strong> with a 6.35-mm double jack cable.<\/p>\n

Top Tip: <\/strong>When you make the connection, be sure to plug in the double jack cable based on the cable’s colours.<\/em><\/p>\n

This radio studio meets the basic needs of a mobile broadcast<\/strong>. Of course, it can be adapted to meet several needs by simply adding more microphones for example!<\/p>\n
