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, will enable us to finally retire our much-loved but aged RCA consoles when we relocate our studios.
