Revision as of 16:11, 26 December 2019
The STAR studio has been through many iterations since the station was founded.
Contents
2005 Trial Spaces
STAR began in February 2005, using the Union's cloakroom as a makeshift studio for a two-week trial of live broadcasting. Following the success of this trial period, the two-week broadcasts became more regular, and the studio moved to the Union's former laundry room. The setup appears to have included two SM58 microphones on boom arms, a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixer, and another mixer. Turntables were also available. Other audio hardware included a BSS Audio oPal FCS-966 Constant Q Graphic EQ. More info on the formation of STAR is available at on the 2005/06 page.
(At least) 2007-2009
The 2008/09 studio used three Audio-Technica AT4040 microphones, two of which were still in use for external recordings in 2019/20. The microphones had a pop filter, and were attached to the original (silver) Røde PSA1 boom arms.

2009 Studio
Studio 144 (2011)
I have no idea what this is but there's a photo album on STAR's Facebook page from April 2011. Looks like some kind of external event.
20??-2013 Studio
At some point the studio was painted red. Gorilla Joe was painted on the wall of this studio, which caused anger within building manager Bruce.
March 2014 Studio
If this photo really is from March 2014, it appears the studio was painted white soon before it was destroyed. (Citation needed.)
Gateway Studio
During the Union redevelopment of 2014, a temporary studio was set up in the Gateway building.

Current Studio
Since the Union redevelopment of 2014, the STAR studio has been situated on the middle floor of the building, next to The Saint's office. The space includes a large studio with four Shure SM7B microphones on boom arms, and the SRM v1 mixer. There is an adjacent control room, with four dbx 286s microphone preamps, and all of STAR's computers. STAR also occupies a cupboard in The Saint's office, which is used to store merch, spare copies of Hearing Aid, starTV equipment, and old studio equipment. A detailed list of current studio equipment is available on the Studio Equipment page.
