a
detailed evaluation of Lawo's latest
mc² console offering at PAT's demo
facility in Sydney, where one of the
very first mc²36 MKII consoles arrived
fresh off the production line from
Germany late last year.
The new mc²36 represents
Lawo's desire to shrink the console
footprint in every way possible, while
increasing its feature set. This new
member of the mc² family of consoles
completely redefines what a compact
mixing console must
deliver. An
all-in-one console at heart, the new
mc²36 boasts double the number of
DSP channels than its predecessor,
both at 48 kHz and 96 kHz. It delivers
the same superb convenience as its
larger siblings: all industry-standard
audio inputs and outputs are builtin,
with native IP connectivity at its
center.
Powered

Lawo's
A__UHD Core with its unrivalled
sound processing quality, local I/O
featuring Lawo-grade microphone
pre-amps, and the most compact
mc² console surface ever built.
" This is the first Lawo mc² console
based on Lawo's native IP control
called HOME, an intuitive easy
to use web GUI which simplifies
the AoIP experience for the user "

latest
generation of A__UHD Core softwaredefined
processing technology, this
console delivers all the incredible
flexibility offered by IP technology,
but with intuitive tools that make
setup and management as simple
as in baseband days. The console is
fully equipped to handle any kind of
application and provides operational
ease for all kinds
