PO Box 437 ACT Minister for Multicultural Affairs,Housing and Territory and Municipal Services,John Hargreaves MLA awarded 2XXfm $70,000 to upgrade essential on-air equipment Some of this equipment – including the studio console – has been with the station since 2xx began in 1976 2XX is set to receive a makeover in 2008 after the Board was successful in securing funding from the ACT government. The ACT Minister for Multicultural Affairs,John Hargreaves,announced live on-air that the station would receive $70,000,allowing it to replace studio equipment which,as he pointed out,in some cases is already 30 years old. “2XX is a very important community radio in this city,especially for the multicultural community,” Hargreaves said. “Without it,many members of the community face the risk of feeling isolated,and of being cut off from news and broadcasts in their own language.” “2XX broadcasts programs in 22 different languages and aims to provide a voice for people who are often voiceless.” Hargreaves painted a bright picture for 2XX’s future. With the much needed funding the station will now upgrade to digital radio technology by purchasing computerised mixing panels,as well as further recording and broadcasting equipment. “In this electronic age,with the right equipment,a community radio station can provide internet streaming to all parts of the world and enjoy far greater connectivity with the broader community radio network,” he said. “New equipment for 2XX means a new era for the radio station. I’m sure this additional funding will now allow 2XX to reach a greater audience base.” In partnership with fellow 2XX Board members,Vic Rebikoff and Vice Chair Sylvie Stern played a major role in the stations successful application for additional funds. “We’re extremely thrilled to receive this important recognition from the government,with the upgrade of our equipment,” Sylvie said. “It’s a wonderful acknowledgement of the committed work we do at 2XX,and of the service we provide,which includes the social,cultural and educational interests of the Canberra community through broadcasting.” 2XX replaced the old loudspeakers with three pairs of what are called Mackie HR824 Mk2s ‘Active Loud Speakers’,and they’ve got amplifiers built into them,which is really good because it means that they can’t be damaged so easily and they’re of a similar quality to what we had originally. As well as the replacing the old consoles with new Elan Audio Kestrel 16 mixing consoles,and the loud speakers,we’re also replacing our CD players with Denon DNC635’s. After some years of heavy usage the CD players wear out. They don’t have as long a life time,they’re not meant to last thirty years. We’re also buying a really accurate clock system,so that when people say the time on 2XX it really will be correct. When we’re dependent on external things,like the news and crossovers,we can be sure that we get things to air on time. The official Community Radio 2XX Equipment Up-grade Launch of the new re-fit of 2XX’s recording,training and on-air studios,was held on Tuesday 8th July 2008 at 11.00am by The Minister for Multicultural Affairs,Minister John Hargreaves MLA. |     | |
