Tech Talk

KWAQ is currently in a test phase and at times you will hear odd things going over the air.  This is due to changing cables and sometimes equipment to help learn what gear will work best and allow for the best signal and audio quality at this location.   Also, changes to the automation software or audio processing will at times result in dead air or changes in the audio quality of our on air presentation.

A new mixing console will be purchased to replace the existing model sometime this Summer.  This should eliminate the "out of phase" sound of some of the stereo audio files that don't convert to monaural broadcasting signal.  At times you will hear songs that seem to be missing instruments or vocals and this is due to only one channel of the two channel audo being played over the air.  A new mixing console with the appropriate cables should remedy the problem.
