The studio contains 1 microphone, 1 small speaker, 1 built-in tape player (tapes not included), 4 sound effects knobs, 1 ground wire, 1 coiled antenna, and an “On Air” signal light. To fully operate, the ground wire is attached to a metallic object (a cookie sheet is suggested) and the coiled antenna is unwound and hung from a high place. A radio (not included) is then tuned to 1620 A.M., which allows the broadcast voice of the item’s user to be heard over the radio from a distance up to 30 feet.
