Audionics have continued their long association with EMAP Radio Group by supplying key equipment for the relocation of Metro Radio to a new studio complex in Newcastle.

Metro Radio has been located at their current site since they commenced broadcasting in 1974. The new state of the art complex is located in the centre of Newcastle, overlooking the Tyne Bridge, from where they will broadcast FM, AM, DAB and Internet services.

Central to the operation are outside source and transmission routers supplied by Audionics. Based around proven core elements, the routers have been customised to meet the customer’s exact operational requirements. The outside source router has an embedded web server to enable control from standard web browsers, this reduces the amount of hard control panels required and enables any desktop PC to control the router.

Audionics also supplied a 16x16 Com2000 Talkback System, for inter area and outside source talkback.
