Thanks to the generosity of our listeners during the 2018 fundraiser, we were able to purchase over $34,000 worth of new equipment to improve WRUW’s sound during the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

As you do your telethon show this year, please thank our listeners for making all of these purchases possible. Their money was put to very good use and they can hear it!

We Purchased a New Mixing Console for the Air Studio (Installed June 2019!)

Our current mixing console, and the associated equipment that connects all our equipment, was over 13 years old. At the time we bought it in late 2005, it was state of the art. Since then, we have been using it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and it’s starting to show its age.

Some of the associated equipment that connects the mixing board to our CD players, turntables and other audio sources, is so outdated it can’t be fixed anymore. In fact, the last piece we took in for repair was so broken and out of date, it ended up being recycled!

In January 2019, we put in an order for over $34,000 of equipment to purchase a new Axia Fusion console, and 12 all-new interconnection boxes for our main broadcast studio! We’ve already received the 12 boxes, and are simply waiting for the mixing console. That’s due to arrive in June!

What it means to our listeners: A better sounding station thanks to the all-digital technology.

What it means to our staff: More mixing channels. More options for what you play on the air. Better control of your show and the air signal!

Donations this year (2019) will go towards buying a similar set of equipment next year for our backup/production studio!
