Besides the on-air studio, every radio station has a Production studio (overseen by the Production Director) where commercials are assembled, music is recorded, promotional announcements are created, etc.

The production studio is more of a workhorse studio and generally aesthetics are less an issue than functionality. Notice the special soundproofing on the walls (upper right)

In this picture, the monitor in the center is for the recording computer. The black rectangular object on the right is actually this studio's "console" or mixer. The inset on the bottom left is CD player and other misc. controls and the inset in the upper left is a studio speaker.
