-3- Eurthermore (and EM transmitter manufacturers are not going to like this) the EM transmitter design isn’t too well stabilized as yet, and a heavy investment now may prove unwise if the transmitter becomes obsolete in a year or two. Think seriously of having your own Engineering College build the transmitter if you have a faculty member or advanced student sufficiently talented and ambitious. It has been done, and to the institution’s complete satisfaction; but in case you want a factory job, a 250 watt EM transmitter will cost around $5,500. With the transmitter you’ll need a combination frequency and modulation moniter. This is required by the ECC, and you’ll not find anyone in your institution that will want to build one. The cost of a good one will be around $850. For speech input equipment and microphones, I strongly recommend getting good, standard items. The use of hgine-made equipment or attempts to adapt public-address system amplifiers and microphones are serious mistakes. Don’t do it! The desirable equipment to control one studio, one announcer booth, remotes, and recordings, with prices, is as follows: 1 multi-studio console, including line amplifier, monitor amplifier, seven pre-amplifiers $1,150.00 3 high quality microphones, stands and cords 320.00 2 medium quality microphones, stands find cords 100,00 Plugs and outlet sockets for microphones 25.00 1 remote outfit 275.00 2 turntables, dual speed, lateral and verticle, complete 800,00 1 program rack 100.00 1 line equalizer 60.00 2 double jack panels 120,00 4 loudspeakers 250.00 Jack cords 30.00 1 monitor amplifier 100.00 Total cost of basic speech-input equipment $3,330.00 The above equipment will adequately take care of usual needs. Later it might be desirable to add such equipment as an extra remote outfit, additional microphones, sound effects (filter) panel, and recording units, Your antenna and antenna tower pose a problem when it comes to general¬ ization. Although the higher the latter the better, there must be a limit as to what can be spent, and this wi^l limit the tower’s height. Suppose you are able to locate your studio on the topographical hump mentioned earlier in this article, and you can see out at least a mile from your roof. Let’s be conservative, at least for a while, and let your maintenance department fabri¬ cate for you a 50-foot section of four-inch pipe, to be mounted on the roof directly over your transmitter and to be guyed to three points. Cost of tower and erection combined should not exceed $100,
