Studios of the Experimental Radio

Since 2008, the Chair of Experimental Radio has had a professional broadcasting and production studio for radio art, film sound and sound design, funded by the STIFT. The radio studio M5 is located in room 303 under the roof of Marienstraße 5. M5 is the main contact point for voice recordings for feature and radio play productions. A four-person voiceover room and separate workstations for live broadcasts and production allow for flexible recording, broadcasting and experimentation. Loudspeakers from ME Geithain serve as monitoring monitors. A high-quality Focusrite ISA 428 preamplifier ensures crystal-clear sound. The recording systems used are primarily Reaper and Ableton Live with audio interfaces from RME. In addition, various plug-ins are available for sound processing. Two Technics turntables and a mixer for DJs as well as extensive possibilities for integrating your own hardware and computers allow you to loop in a wide variety of sound generators, instruments and players.

The student initiative Bauhaus.fm (www.bauhaus.fm) broadcasts weekly on Mondays from 7 - 11 pm from Studio M5. Interested students can contact bauhaus.fm at bauhausfm[at]m18.uni-weimar.de.

There is also the possibility of recording in the television studio of the media house. Especially when working with actors in the room, the wood-paneled room offers an interesting alternative to the recording booth. Recordings can be made either via mobile recording equipment of the chair or the Mediapoint.
