 Identify the basic recording equipment of

a digital radio studio

 Classify whether devices use electricity
and/or magnetism when used in recording
studio.
 Start a literature search on
electromagnetic induction’s role in
recording technology.

PART A. Virtual Tour of a Radio Broadcasting Studio

1. Read the scenario and study the video clip

or pictures selected by your teacher, similar
to what is shown in figure 1 to 3.
Figure 1. A control room of a local radio broadcast studio commonly known as the annnouncer’s
booth. (Used with permission from the RPN-DXKO Radio and television Broadcast Station in
Cagayan de Oro City.)
1. On your science activity notebook, make a table,
similar to Table 1. List all the equipment that you can
identify in the photo shown in Figure 1. Indicate with
a check mark whether the equipment/device needs
electricity and/or magnetism to operate.

Q1. How many of the devices you
identified inside the control room need
electricity to operate?
There are 11 devices need electricity to
operate
Q2. How many of the devices you identified inside
the control room need magnetism to operate?
There are 6 devices need magnetism to operate
3. On your science activity notebook, make another table similar
to Table 2. List also all the equipment that you can identify in the
pictures shown in Figure 2 and 3. Indicate with a check mark
whether the equipment/device needs electricity and/or magnetism
to operate.

1. You could be an aspiring singer, a
music artist, a student who needs to
record audio presentations or simply
one planning to have a start-up home
recording studio. Use Table 3 and
extend your understanding of the
recording industry by matching the
devices in Column B and their
respective functions in Column C with
the items in Column A. Write the letter
and number for coding your answer.

Q6. Which devices on Table 3 are powered, entirely
or partially, by electromagnetic induction ( the
phenomenon of a changing magnetic or electricity
magnetism)?

The devices that are powered, entirely or

partially by electromagnetic induction are
microphone, computer unit, headphone, studio
monitor, and the audio interface.
