Waves SoundGrid Integration
For Lawo mc236 Consoles

L

awo, a renowned German
manufacturer of pioneering audio
and video equipment, and Waves, a
leading developer of audio plug-ins
and signal processors, premiered
the seamless integration of Waves
SoundGrid servers with Lawo mc2
consoles at this year's InfoComm.
As a result of the collaboration,
Lawo's mc236 all-in-one console now
provides extensive real-time signal
processing in
addition to

Waves SoundGrid Server One

its internal processing engine.
The system gives operators access to
Waves' comprehensive plug-in library,
allowing them to conveniently control
reverbs, multi-tap delays, graphic
equalisers and multiband compressors
directly via the console's keyboard and
touch-screen. No additional monitors
or controls are needed - which results
in a clean working space and less
external hardware. All plug-in settings
can be easily stored and recalled with
the console's snapshots.
Mick Olesh, Waves' EVP Sales &
Marketing,
commented:
"Waves is delighted to
collaborate with Lawo and
is pleased to give their
users
easy
access
to Waves plug-ins
on Lawo consoles.
This
cooperation
with Lawo realises our
ongoing commitment to provide
our customers with the freedom to

use Waves plug-ins in all settings and
environments."
"The cooperation with Waves is very
fruitful and also extremely enjoyable.
Both companies are very focused
and so our R&D teams were able to
achieve the integration of Waves plugins with our consoles in very short
time", said Christian Struck, Senior
Product Manager Audio Production
at Lawo. "Lawo mc2 consoles are
audio precision tools, and the Waves
integration gives our customers
access to Waves' comprehensive
plug-in collection. This is a perfect
complement to our system, especially
with regards to live and install sound
applications."
In the Technology for Worship
Pavilion, Lawo and Waves jointly
showcased the new Lawo mc²36
mixing consoles, including integration
of Waves SoundGrid signal processing
and effects plug-ins in a new server
configuration that supports all Lawo

mixing consoles for live production
applications. A 40-fader mc²36 was
used as the FoH console for all Worship
Pavilion main stage events, and six
additional consoles were provided as
part of the InfoComm Training Center.
The mc²36 consoles are designed
to provide an all-in-one solution for
broadcast, install and live performance
applications. Available configurations
include 16, 24 and 40 fader models,
all with built-in DSP and I/O that can
be expanded with several stagebox
configurations. All consoles include
built-in AutoMix, dynamics processing,
loudness metering, and snapshots
with external offline and configuration
control options, including remote
connection of PCs, tablets or laptops
to manage the setup and mix process.
Designed to work in an IP-based
environment, the consoles come
equipped with the latest RAVENNA
audio-over-IP technology as well as full
support for AES67.
