The Wanganui Concert

All Ready for Long Relay HERBE is perhaps little need to give readers a. final reminder of the concert which is to be relayed from Wanganui on Friday, December 7. This will be the longest land line, 125 miles,. yet used by the Broadcasting Company, and it. will be a particularly interesting event from a broadcasting point of view. The relay will mean the conversion of the Wanganui Opera House into a studio. Much broadcasting equipment will be sent up from Wellington. This equipment will include two microphones of the condenser type, a "mixer," and-an elaborate amplifier of the studio type. ‘Mr. J. Ball, Hditor-Announcer, will visit Wanganui for the occasion, and the Company’s Chief Engineer, Mr. J. M. Bingham, will have charge of the broadcasting equipment. He will have the assistance of a well-known Wanganui amateur, Mr. George Carrad. It is anticipated that the concert pro‘gramme will be one of the finest yet broadcast. 3YA will rebroadcast 2YA.
