Activity 1
For the Record…
(Adapted from the EMI Teaching Sequence by Jenaro Guisasola and Kristina Zuza)
Objectives:
Identify the basic recording equipment of a digital radio studio.
Classify whether devices use electricity and/or magnetism when used in recording audio.
Start a literature search on electromagnetic induction’s role in recording technology.
Materials: pictures of the radio studio control and audio room OR
video clip on a radio station tour, video player, screen, and accessories
pen and activity sheet/science notebook
Procedure:
1. You could be an aspiring singer, a music artist, a student who needs to record audio presentations
or simply one planning to have a start-up home recording studio. Use Table 3 and extend your
understanding of the recording industry by matching the devices in Column B and their respective
functions in Column C with the items in Column A. Write the letter and number for coding your
answer.
