Radio studio
We got 2 Behringer DDX3216 mixers for a total of 24x phantom powered XLR inputs and 8x 6.3mm jack inputs.
These two mixers are dedicated for voice processing, this basically means all microphones and any voicecomms to voip/skype/mumble/youname it.
A seperate mixing desk (type tbd) will be used for any other audio devices like the fixed music pc,laptops,dj setups etc.
A third mixing desk (type tbd) will be used for main outputs to the transmitter and streams.

Daytime show requirements
Historically daytime shows have been anything from 1-10 guests. So we should be able to cover that.
12 microphones (1 tech + 11 guest mics) , can be processed by one ddx3216 mixer
Microphones will be dynamic cardiod types because of durability.
Filters may be placed over them to avoid human mouth output devices from soaking the membrame.
Each mic will be placed on a flexible boomarm or some fixture
For headphones we are looking into a better and more flexible way than previous events.
We should still have enough headphones laying around, but they need to be checked for defects.
Each headphones should be individually adjustable.
The small headphone amps we used for this have a small lifespan and high failure rate. Replacement and upgrade might be required.
Same story goes for the devices people bring to the studio, usually laptops , phones etc.
A better system for plugging them into the studio gear and providing better (ground loop) filtering would save a lot of trouble.
A playout system will be provided with the possibility to play station calls, jingles, fillers and music.

Nighttime show requirements
Nighttime shows have historically been visited by quite a lot of people, although they tend to peter out after 03:00. So the daytime studio should suffice.
