Power Studio Manual
Power Studio is broadcast automation software for radio stations. It can assist live presenters, run automated playlists, manage music and imaging, schedule formats, record voice tracks, process dynamic content, and integrate with studio hardware and online services.
This manual is written for station administrators and power users. It focuses on what you need to install, configure, maintain and operate the system.
Use the manual in the same order as a station rollout. Start with installation and first-run checks, then learn the core concepts and main modules, then apply the workflow chapters for daily operation, remote work, dynamic content and continuity. The tools and plugin chapters are reference material for the integrations the station actually uses.
