KVSC Studios

KVSC-FM is located in Stewart Hall on the campus of St. Cloud State University. The current facility was built in 1989 as part of a major renovation to the building. KVSC features (8) studio spaces including; the on-air master control studio, news studio, forum studio, (2) production studios, and a multitrack recording studio with a 20 X 25 performance space and vocal booth. All of the studios are linked to on-air control allowing for broadcast capability. Another unique feature is a connection between the multitrack recording studio and the recently renovated Kimberly Ritsche Auditorium. This 1000 seat auditorium has been the site of several live broadcasts from political debates to sold out concerts. KVSC also has remote broadcast capabilities including Marti RPU systems, phone hybrid equipment, as well as a fiber optic audio link to the National Hockey Center, home of the Division 1 SCSU Husky Hockey team.

Digital Audio Technology KVSC uses "The Force", a digital audio system for on-air playback of station promos, PSA's, underwriters, ID's, news, features and music produced at the station. The system stores digital audio on high capacity hard drives and is networked through out the facility for production and on-air access.
