Here is the photo of the large black AV box:
The old Hackitorium AV podium has been repurposed as a project enclosure for Noisebridge's '''FM radio transmitter''', which broadcasts on '''87.9 FM'''. The transmitter is off by default but can easily be switched on. Its antenna is mounted in the stairwell and has a range of roughly 2 blocks around the space.

For example, if you want to play music via Apple TV, set the HDMI SWitcher to "appleTV", and set the output device to "Apple TV Hackatorium" on your machine. Play your favorite music, and dance dance dance! 🕺💃
 
A RaspberryPi is plugged into the mixer too. It's located on the network at '''hackitorium-rpi.noise''' and plays [https://somafm.com/ Somafm], most of the time, which can be accessed via the command line tool mpc. To find out the current song and channel, enter into your command line the command <pre>mpc -h hackitorium-rpi.noise</pre>


Noisebridge also has its own internet radio station, '''[[Beyla|KNOB]]''', running on [[Beyla]]. Listen at [http://beyla.noise/nbradio beyla.noise/nbradio] on the local network, or [https://nthmost.com/nbradio/ nthmost.com/nbradio] from anywhere.

Audio systems around Noisebridge. Most are part of Music guild, but there are also audio systems for everyone at Noisebridge to use for events or other times you want to play things aloud.

Sound Systems

The physical space has a number of sound systems in various rooms. Please be considerate of those around you when playing music in the space. Asking before blasting.

Musicians?

You can learn about musicians and specifics about music playing options over on Music Guild. This page is for sound systems.

Hackitorium

The old Hackitorium AV podium has been repurposed as a project enclosure for Noisebridge's FM radio transmitter, which broadcasts on 87.9 FM. The transmitter is off by default but can easily be switched on. Its antenna is mounted in the stairwell and has a range of roughly 2 blocks around the space.

Noisebridge also has its own internet radio station, KNOB, running on Beyla. Listen at beyla.noise/nbradio on the local network, or nthmost.com/nbradio from anywhere.

For historical info about the old Hackitorium AV setup (HDMI switcher, Apple TV, SomaFM RPi) from 2169 Mission St, see Audio_2169.

Turing and Church Classrooms

You can Chromecast or AirTunes to the sound system in the classrooms. The speakers are always on and turned up to some appropriate volume level. Make sure you switch the switcher in the AV box to the correct device.

There is a line in cable coming out of the AV box you can plug into a random music making device.

Dirty Shop

There's a speaker system above the shelves. A line in should be dangled near the door.

There's a Chromecast plugged into the system but it's a little busted right now, sorry. Hugs.

Sewing Area

There's a Bluetooth enabled speaker sitting near by most of the time.

Drum Circle

No.
