So many stations these days have neither the space nor the budget for an announce booth for their talent, let alone for guests.
That’s where something smaller like our IP-networked TS-22 or TS-4 Talent Stations makes sense. These are small turrets that can fit just about anywhere, either on the countertop or mounted inside a countertop, and include mic, headphone, and other talent controls. The TS-4 and larger TS-22 plug into our WheatNet-IP audio network to extend all shared sources and destinations into the producer booth or guest, talent host or co-host positions.
For syndicated morning shows like Free Beer & Hot Wings, for example, the producers are able to access any source or destination that any other WheatNet-IP control surface can, plus check the satellite syndication feed at any time from their TS-22 turret panels.
The TS-22 has six programmable soft buttons, six source preselect buttons, microphone control, speaker and headphone level controls (w/built-in headphone amp and front panel jack), timer, and a source select knob with color OLED display that can access any signal on the network (source visibility software controlled).
