TechKno Camp teens visit Shure Incorporated!

Shure Incorporated, the microphone manufacturer, is a proud sponsor of The MEMa Studio! They just happen to be based in Niles, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Our After School Matters, TechKno Camp teens went on a field trip to visit Shure and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating! The teens got to tour the entire facility and experience an anechoic chamber (photography wasn't allowed in some sections of the facility), an Rf chamber (where wireless microphones radio frequencies are tested) and the recording studio. They were also able to shoot a scene for their video project!
