Raycom equip Corinthian Television Studios

Raycom have completed the design and installation of an elaborate radio system for the new Corinthian Television facility in Chiswick Park, London.
As the leading supplier of professional wireless solutions, Raycom custom designed a robust frequency plan, which allowed the use of a complex mix of radio equipment.
The supplied system included four Raycom RTB3211talkback base stations. One base station is shared between Studios 1 and 2, a second is in the Green Room covering all the downstairs areas outside the studios while the third is located on the Roof Performance Area and the fourth unit is used for the Outside Performance area.
The latter two base stations used ‘down-firing’ antennas to contain the coverage of the radio signals.
Raycom also supplied and programmed 21 Icom IC-F22 UHF radios with belt packs, headsets, cases and chargers and other ancillary equipment to work with the base stations. The base station and aerial systems allow each of the belt pack radios to work in the four different areas ensuring maximum flexibility for the production teams.
Seven Lectrosonics IFB-T5 Presenter Transmitters were also supplied, four in the studios with passive antenna splitters to feed each studio, one in the GreenRoom, one in the Roof Area and the final one for the Outside Performance area. Four matching IFB-R5A's receivers were supplied and more have already been ordered to increase flexibility.
