Sound Studio

The sound studio is equipped with the latest technologies. This studio consists of two acoustically isolated rooms: a collection room for sound captation, equipped with microphones and the control room, with devices for recording (mixer, multitrack, computers, racks of process, computer monitors, etc). One of the most important conditions is the soundproofing design, in order to avoid inner sound from spreading outward or penetrating the outer sound and interfering recordings. This is achieved through the implementation of various special materials.


 

Radio Studio


The radio studio of the University consists of two technical and professional different spaces. The radio laboratory is a space used for students who new to the world of radio to experiment the main tools of the media. Later, they will go to the main radio studio, with a call center and a primary and secondary control. In the parlor we have 8 microphones in a soundproof room made as in professional studios. There is the analog main control to develop the role of technical director. And finally, the second control, also called self-control, allowing the performance of autonomous work where the same person blends in the voice and sound to his work.
