Other Information (Phone and Speakers)

The Phone
You will find the on-air studio has a phone. You can use this phone to take calls and play the caller out live on air. The phone's number is 0117 954 5777. When the white light above the desk is flashing, the phone is ringing. You can:

(1) Pick it up like a normal phone, lift the handset and start talking.

(2) If you want the caller to go out on air, warn them the line will go dead and that they will go out on air.

(3) Press the “connect” and the “to caller” buttons in.

(4) Make sure one of your microphones is on otherwise they canʼt hear you.

(5) Turn up the phone channel and bring the slider up

The Speakers
We have two speakers above you which will play out what is currently playing out live. They will automatically cut off when any microphone is up to prevent feedback. During the day (10:00 - 18:00), the volume of these speakers must not be above 4. This is because the studio is in union office space and it would be bad for Burst to fall out with these neighbours.
