Project Update

So I know I haven't given that much of an update as to project as to equipment. I've talked with Travis about what 1530/1360 uses, and they do use an ISDN line. I think it's very important for the department to get the quality that our studio provides.

I know we are better than those Marshall D-Bags, but we will never beat them in a competition until our audio quality improves immensely. I think the best methods available to us are to use something with an ISDN line, or broadcast over the internet. I think we could use something like UStream to send the signal to the studio, and continue to operate the way we do now, but just with better quality. Marshall doesn't want to answer my email because they are afraid. UC Athletics is so much better than Marshall, and they know our personnel are 20 times better than what they could get, and they have heard that Big Duane and Steve are taking over next year...they are frightened that their monopoly on sports awards is coming to an end. They should be!

So back to equipment, Travis says they use the Telos Zephyr ISDN system at the station. That certainly would be a good piece of equipment to have. There are other options in the BSW catalog, but I can't make heads or tails as to which will improve quality. I can only imagine that anything using a telephone line, is not what we want.

I will of course have other ways to improve the department in my complete project write up next week.
