94.3 Royal FM Kigali Opens Cutting-Edge Broadcasting Studio with Integration of Lawo Virtual Radio Solutions
The new studio at 94.3 Royal FM represents a monumental leap in broadcasting technology. By eliminating the traditional XLR cables, the station, with this new concept, now relies on a Cisco switch for the distribution of video and audio signals (AES67) and control throughout the facility. Heart of this state-of-the-art setup is a Lawo virtual mixer, seamlessly integrating the studio components. The inclusion of the Multicam video system, which automatically responds to microphone signals and is controlled by the audio mixer, offers listeners and viewers an immersive experience unparalleled in the region.
Flexibility and efficiency are further enhanced by the AVT IP telephone hybrid, which manages all incoming calls with ease. The studioās design ensures minimal power consumption, fewer cables, and reduced equipment, all while significantly boosting productivity. Social media platforms like WhatsApp can be effortlessly integrated, transforming any gaming PC into a media source. This revolutionary setup allows for remote control of the system and enables customized audio experiences for different shows, making cutting-edge production dreams a reality today and for the future.
āAt Royal FM, we are not just adopting the latest technology but redefining the future of broadcasting in Rwanda. By integrating cutting-edge systems like Lawo, MultiCAM, AVT, RAVENNA, and AES67, we challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what radio can be. This innovation reflects our commitment to excellence and our vision for a more connected, dynamic, and forward-thinking Rwanda. Our new studio is a testament to our belief
