SMPTE Tutorial: Designing a Mobile Audio Facility

Steven R. Colby

In May, 1982, WGBH Educational Foundation began operation of a mobile audio facility designed and built to its own specifications. This article discusses philosophical and design considerations, including selection of vehicle, functional versatility, speed and ease of setup and strike, trouble-free interface with ac power and sound reinforcement systems, and operator and client comfort. The vehicle can accommodate television, radio, simulcast, cable, film, and recording industry projects.
