How to start your internet radio station from home?
When it gets to start an online broadcast radio station, the big majority of the newcomers to that field have two issues: asking themselves if they need the experience to start the online radio station and the information sources to be prepared to start this online business. For all newcomers, by reading this articles we will not only tell you what you will need to start a radio station, but even how to receive phone calls from your station. Yes, you heard it right, by these few steps you will be steps away to start a tremendous business.
MIXER
The first thing you need to start your radio station is a mixer. The mixer is a device that transmit audio frequency from you to your audience. As you talk with someone, or even present something on your radio station, the mixer is the main voice transmitter from your microphone to the cloud, which is then transferred to your audience. A mixer price can start as low as $80, but to ensure a good voice quality, I would say that this is where most of your primary budget should be invested in.
MICROPHONE
Your microphone is an extremely important tool. Do not rely on your computer microphone because it does not work as if you are on a skype call. Always remember that your radio station is one out of a million radio stations, so a good voice quality is the least required feature that your channel has to have. Also, the microphone is NOT plugged into your computer, it should be plugged to your mixer because the mixer generally generates better frequency level which results a better voice quality.
TELEPHONE CALLS
There are several ways to take telephone calls to and from your station, but the best remains using a tool called Wireless Audio Interface (WAI). Simply, plug in the WAI to your mixer. Now go to your phone and connect it to the WAI via Bluetooth. Lastly, connect the output of the WAI to the input called FX SEND in your mixer. The WAI doesn’t only connect you with the person on the phone, but it connects you with the person on the phone together with everyone who’s on your channel, just like the phone calls that you hear while driving your car and listening to the radio.
THE VOLUME CONTROL
Once you have everything connected, you have an ultimate level of control of the volume of every connected device. So if you want to have your fan on the phone with a music background, as most radio stations do, you have only got to set your fan output volume to its maximum, and set your music volume to a background level. You can also receive as many phone calls according to how advanced your mixer is.
