New custom radio furniture was designed and handmade by Mager Kizziah, an expert with 15+ years working specifically in radio studio renovations.  Furniture was constructed at Mager's warehouse in Phoenix, then shipped to San Antonio for assembly.

Lots of new equipment and wiring.
A dramatic improvement in efficiency and protection for the beloved KRTU Vinly LP Library.
 
New equipment rack, including the Telos Axia digital routing nodes, ISDN codec, EAS machine and HD receiver.
New studio completed October 22, 2007.  On-air operations in this studio resumed in November.
One of the many improvements, the new studios allow for more guests and more desk space. Main control center includes the new Telos Axia Element sound board, RCS computer sound system and the "turret" with CD players and other media.

We made the placement and installation of tour turntables a high priority in the new design.  They are now easily accessible for the DJ, and can be covered for protection when not in use.
