Equipment You Need For A Free Smooth Jazz Radio Streaming

By Linda Ruiz


Instead of posting videos of you and your talent in video streaming sites, starting your personal Internet radio station might be a good idea. Anybody with the right skills can actually operate their own station and promote free smooth jazz radio streaming. Not only the skills, as long as you have the following equipment, you can definitely do it.

First, remember that there is a need for a microphone and headphone. These are the two equipment that allows you to talk to broadcast. It does not really matter if you are buying an expensive one or a cheap one. What is important is that you can talk into the microphone, keeping your hands free, with you capable of moving around.

A mixer is helpful in this work too since this is what allows you to connect to multiple microphones and the telephone interface of your broadcasting system. All the audio inputs travel right into the mixer and then come out as a single combined signal. For your mixer, it is highly preferable for it to accommodate USB and other HD digital cables.

The headphone amplifiers are must-haves for this work too. This is the important thing to use when you are having multiple hosts or guests over for your broadcast. The equipment can provide each person with their own headphones with boosted output for each signal. This helps clean the signal for broadcasting.

There should also be a server computer used for the said broadcasting. If you are still on a tight budget, then the regular personal computer should do but that is not ideal. You should still have your own dedicated server that will allow you to provide your listeners with an acceptable broadcasting quality. The server is a very important one to have.

Internet connection. The person should have an Internet connection to be able to broadcast. When it comes to broadcasting, you should already know by now that your regular connection will not be enough to support you. If you want to give your listeners a good time with good quality for audio, then you better get a connection with 56 Kbps stream.

You need a computer connection as well. This is necessary when your mixer does not actually a computer-compatible interface. In this case, you will need an interface like a USB which will permit you to have a connection between two devices to pump audio from this mixer and straight into the computer you are using.

A telephone interface is necessary as well. Through this, you can take any calls. Whenever your audience calls in, you can entertain him or her during a broadcast. Most broadcasts nowadays take calls. You can choose to have a one-caller-at-a-time setup or a multiple-callers-on-hold setup. Just get the right system for it.

Have an app for the said Internet broadcast. You should be able to use website services that allow you to send your audio input to the service's web services. Live broadcasting can also be hooked up with other services that allows listeners to listen to you on an around-the-clock basis. There should be apps available for you that will allow all of these things.
