(By “Microphone.”) At tho present time tho Manawatu Radio Club is making alterations to the studio with a view to making its service more efficient. An announcer’s box is being constructed, so that this gentleman may attend to his duty without interference from or interfering with artists in tho studio which is being enlarged to almost double its former dimensions. A partition is being removed to enable this work to bo done. When “Microphone” saw the scene of operations yesterday afternoon, condensers, turntables, signal lamps, and amplifiers wore unceremoniously heaped together. Tho enlarged room is to bo finished with beaver board. The work is being carried out under the guidanco of Uncle Dan, who, assisted by ten carpenters, proceeded far into the night on Monday evening. Last night the work was advanced sufficiently to enable 2ZF to resume broadcasting this evening to its accustomed time-table. The enlarged studio is now approximately 30 feet by 30 feet and will easily accommodate the club’s orchestra of 20 players, while the increased size of the room will improve the acoustic properties when completed. In the announcer’s room is mounted all the microphone control apparatus as well as pick-ups and turntables for gramophone records, as well as telephonic and signalling controls from tho broadcast transmitter which is located on tho roof. A largo plate-glass window has been fitted between tho studio and the new room so that the announcer has a full view of tho studio, blit the measure of silence in the control room will enable items to be more closely monitored. To avoid taking out of the studio the existing microphone amplifiers for relays, the president of the club has just completed a portable microphone amplifier which enables two microphones to be used simultaneously, as well as special controls which are necessary for broadcasting when it has to be sent to studio by the relay line. This now portable amplifier will be used for the first time at tho broadcast of the football match next Wednesday when the English team meets Manawhcnua at the Showgrounds. The improvements to the studio when completed will be a big asset to the Manawatu Radio Club. Last Sunday evening a number of entrants at the competitions were included in the programme. Among the performers were Mr Zeigler (Napier), Miss G. Kerr (Wellington), Mr W. J. Mountjoy (Wellington), Mrs Cunningham (Wanganui) who acted as accompanisto, Mr W. J. Hall (Wellington), and Master Lund, of Wanganui. EMPIRE DAY DEMONSTRATION TO BE BROADCAST.
