Broadcast Studio

Radio Studio

The studio is a confined rectangular space with low ceilings that press down like the deadline of a broadcast. A sound booth squats in one corner, its glass panels reflecting the flicker of a dying fluorescent tube, its ancient mixing board lit by a single amber lamp. The walls marred by peeling paint recall post-war austerity, its surfaces holding a dense layer of dust that swirls in the stale air whenever Peri moves through. Among the clutter of cables and archaic recording equipment stands a transmitter Peri will later learn carries a hidden weapon, its controls a confusing array of switches that the DJ operates with practiced precision. The air carries the sharp odor of ozone from overworked electronics and the faint metallic tang of something lethal disguised as broadcast apparatus.
