Hello, Im the founder of my schools up and coming radio station. An my school are really keen on setting it up. So i need people to price things up and say what equipment i need.

Could you lot price up equipment please? Thanks

(Note: The Schools budget is around 500 pound)

[Mickword]

Well Radio Licence will cost around 200 - 300 Pound

You need:
Microphone
Sam Broadcaster v2 or v3 (Not in production so find it on random sites)

Thanks it really!

Erm you can find the Sam Broadcaster code on HabboxForum some where. Also, I would use Advent Microphones for a Microphone!

[Richie]

Well firstly is the radio an online radio or an fm radio, everyone seems to think its an online radio, if its an fm radio the prices for a licence are going to be greater and you will have to go through a different company.


@Mickword
Why do you recommend out-dated software? if he wants all this to be legit and if it is for an online radio, he will be only able to purchase Sam broadcaster 4.6, which will cost $279.00.

Offerall you will need for an online radio is:
Webhosting with decent bandwhich - £20 a year (www.sawhosting.com (http://www.sawhosting.com))
Shoutcast - 128kbs would be the best way to go, Price varys depending on listener count. (www.myshoutserver.com (http://www.myshoutserver.com))
Website - Varys
Sam Broadcaster 4 - 279$ (http://www.spacialaudio.com/?page=sam-broadcaster-buy)
Microphone - Professional microphones would be the best (http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/)

Im unsure wheather it should be FM or Online? I want it so it can be played all around school from small speakers.

Well your hardly going to be able to purchase everything for a FM radio with just £500

[KyleSmith]

I could push it too 1000 pound.

[Recursion]

If you're going to use this in a school use completely legal software, do not steal the license key from HXF, schools can be taken to court and fined just as easily as a person, the school can then put the blame on you.

Run it on a shoutcast then is the obvious choice.

FM: Radio Station on a Radio.
Online: Only on Computer through shoutcast.

True.


I could push it too 1000 pound.

That would be best.

Oo didn't know that.

Yeeah LOL!

[KyleSmith]

[Jordy]

Okay, Umm can anyone price up around 15 small speakers please i need it to play like the music im streaming.What's your budget for the speakers cause I can see this eating most of it up?

[Richie]

can u get wireless usb speakers? thatd be soo much easier

[KyleSmith]

1k Including the kit.

[KyleSmith]

Ive managed to push the budget to 5k With a youthbank thing?

Where do i get 15 speakers from?

[adaym]

Should you be doing this if you don't even know where to buy speakers from..?

[KyleSmith]

Yes, I have a rough idea of where to get them from but im struggling to find what once would i need USB Ones? Wireless ones? Wired ones?

[Luke]

Well that all depends whether your school is willing to put a "speaker system" through the school for you..

[KyleSmith]

Yes they are thats pointless if there wasnt, Anyway they need to be 4 indoor speakers and 6 outdoor.

[adaym]

I believe you are lying if I'm perfectly honest.

[KyleSmith]

Let me take a photograph of the youth bank form.

[KyleSmith]

Do your own market research.

[Jordy]

While I appreciate what you're trying to do, perhaps you should reconsider judging by your lack of experience with this. It's a big project and you really can't afford to get everyone else to do it for you. If things go wrong will you know what to do? You don't seem to know the most basic of things when it comes to this and sadly Habboxforum can't help you with everything.

My two cents.

I agree

[KyleSmith]

We all start from somewhere?

[today]

Yeah, but there's a difference in what your doing, and what you should be doing.

[adaym]

We all start from somewhere?
by being a number 2 to someone who knows what they hell they're doing.

[Jordy]

You don't start straight away on a rather complicated £5k project.

[Richie]

We all start from somewhere?

Yeah I agree we do, but your starting the wrong way and at such a big budget, that's like me becoming a hairdresser who never held a pair of scissors before.

[CleanFilm]

Yeah I agree we do, but your starting the wrong way and at such a big budget, that's like me becoming a hairdresser who never held a pair of scissors before.

I agree, dude you seem like you lack experience with this type of thing. Seriously you should not be doing this and starting to learn doing this type of thing from a 5k budget is abit extreme, would you even know how to setup and configure the local shoutcast stream and get it to playout on all the speakers?

[KyleSmith]

Yes i would be able to, I can do like 2 speakera but unsure on like 10 speakers but thats what we have computer technitions for.

[Tomm]

Will you also be able to get power to the speakers?

[KyleSmith]

Yep, They have power surges all around the school for the fingerprint register system thing n cashless cafeteria thing.

[CleanFilm]

Amplifier

[Tomm]

Um, you sure you mean power surges? :P

Anyway, if you have power you can use active speakers rather than passive ones. This means you don't need an amplifier to power all the speakers.

[KyleSmith]

What kit would i need, I can get power source. Note they need to be outside speakers aswell.

[Robbinz]

why would the school get a 14 year old to set this up anyway..

[KyleSmith]

In year 7 i used to own my own radio site. An i wanted to bring it into school i spoke to the deputy head and she said yes its a great idea. They got Notebook Macs in for the editing and things but the thing that failed it was the lack of money. But now i have 5k to spend on it, It is possible that it will happen.

[Adamm]

You don't have £5,000 (yet) and even if you did you wouldn't know what to do with it (hence this thread). It's a bad idea and if you get the funding, a waste of my tax.

[Kevin]

I'd really like to speak to you're principal, as this sounds like an idea out of the movie 'accepted'

You quite clearly haven't a rats clue about how to approach this project, and reading this project I cringed numerous times.

I beg you not to take on this project, as you will most definitely mess it up, and it will come back to you.

If you're school has serious money to spend on radio equipment, I suggest that they seek the advice of professionals, and not 8-18 year olds on habboxforum.

[KyleSmith]

Ive spoke to my teacher and it was already in the pipework. We have a radio station (mobile one) came into school about it and there on about buying kit on a smaller scale im just going to be involed in it now. Not like the main person thanks for all help.
