One of the three Pacific Recorders &
Engineering BMX-III audio consoles donated to WDFH by The New York
Times. This one is shown while it was still installed in
WQXR's on-air studio.

In the late 1980s, WQXR,
the legendary classical radio station owned by
The New York Times, built a new studio facility that was extraordinary
in its acoustics, equipment, and capabilities.
In the Fall of 2009, WQXR
was sold and this incredible facility was decommissioned, and in early
2010, The Times generously donated a great deal of equipment from the
facility to WDFH. Among other things, we received mixing consoles
from WQXR's air studio and two of its production studios.
We have always taken pride
in our commitment to audio quality, but our community radio budget has
often forced us to keep older equipment in service longer than we might
have liked. These consoles from WQXR, along with two Wheatstone
consoles donated by NPR, have enabled us to retire our much-loved but aged
RCA consoles.

the WQXR facility, see the articles in

Magazine and
