Echo Rooms
For years, I've know about "Echo Chambers", bits of kit you route your audio through to add an echo effect. However, in the basement of TVC are three "Echo Rooms". These would have been rooms with various acoustic properties, containing a speaker and a microphone, which could be positioned differently according to the required effect. I'm sure the input/output of these rooms would have been plugged through CAR (my control room), as would have the "On-Air" red-light control.
Now, they're just house-hold stores, but the signs and lights remain. I'm guessing they don't work too well as Echo Rooms now that they're full of paper hand-towels...
