Big Performance, Compact Size:
Lawo Introduces mc²36 in a
48-Fader Layout
L

awo's new second-generation
mc²36 audio production console,
an incredibly powerful yet compact
mixer, is now even more capable with
the announcement of a new dual-fader
operating bay that allows 48 faders in
the same space as a 32-fader board.
This makes the new mc²36 even more
of an all-rounder for theater, houses of
worship, corporate, live and broadcast
audio applications - wherever ultrahigh audio performance in close
quarters is demanded.
Performance
With DSP more than doubled from its
predecessor, the new mc²36 with builtin A__UHD Core functionality offers 256
processing channels, available at both
48 and 96 kHz, and natively supports
ST2110, AES67, RAVENNA, and
Ember+. It provides an I/O capacity of
864 channels, with local connections

that include 3 redundant IP network
interfaces, 16 Lawo-grade mic/line
inputs, 16 line outputs, 8 AES3 inputs
and outputs, 8 GPIO connections, and
an SFP MADI port.
Operation
Operating and visualizing features
include Button-Glow and touchsensitive rotary controls, color TFT
fader-strip displays, LiveView™ video
thumbnails, and super-precise 21.5 "
full HD touchscreen controls. Its builtin full loudness control is compliant
with the ITU 1770 (EBU/R128 or ATSC/
A85) standard, featuring peak and
loudness metering which can measure
individual channels as well as summing
busses.

best-in-class integration of Waves
SuperRack
SoundGrid,
providing
operators with access to Waves'
extensive plug-in selection of realtime signal processing alongside the
console's internal processing engine
- no additional screens or control
devices required.

Integration
The new mc²36 offers seamless
integration of third-party solutions
like recording systems, effects
engines, and other systems running
on external PCs, into its user
interface. Applications display right
in the console's screen, while console
keyboard, touchpad and touchscreen
provide control.
Last but not least: mc²36 offers

Innovation
Moving the mc²36 to the A__UHD
Core means that all developments
in the future will happen on a single,
unified platform, and Lawo continues
to provide production file compatibility
between all mc² consoles. For instance,
a production file from an mc²36 can be
used on an mc²96 for post-production
- opening the door to a whole new
level of performance.

Easy IP Setup
Management
The new Lawo mc²36 with A__UHD
technology includes Lawo's innovative
new IP Easy functionality that makes IP
setup as simple as analog.
IP Easy, based on Lawo's innovative
HOME management platform for IPbased media infrastructures, makes
connecting IP audio and I/O devices
as easy as if they were baseband - the
console automatically detects new
devices and makes them available at
the touch of a button.
IP Easy even manages IP addresses,
multicast ranges, and VLANs, and
includes security features like access
control and quarantining of unknown
devices to protect your network.

Reaching a new galaxy: Lawo HOME revolutionizes
management of IP broadcast infrastructures
A

t NAB Amplify, Lawo recently
debuted HOME, an innovative
new management platform for IP
based media infrastructures. HOME
is natively built on a cloud-ready
microservices architecture, enabling
users to connect, manage and secure
networked production setups from the
ground up.
Furthermore, it provides centralized
access and control for all Lawo gear
within a setup. HOME helps broadcast
professionals address some of the
most demanding requirements of
modern IP infrastructures, including
automated discovery and registration
of devices, connection management,
flow control, software & firmware
management, scalability and security.

" In
today's
IP
project
implementations, the physical build
and cabling is only half of the way. The
other half consists of configuration.
HOME significantly increases efficiency
in setting up IP system installs " says
Axel Kern, Lawo's Senior Product
Manager Media Infrastructure Control.
" Broadcasters and service providers

HOME's device management comes with
a built-in quarantining process to
separate unknown devices from the
operational network

are faced with constantly changing
production demands, and setups need
to adapt, no matter if on-premise or
off-premise, local or remote, or even
cloud. This new management platform
provides the architecture for our
customers to scale with their agile
business requirements. "
Lawo's HOME platform is based on

User authentication is key to
access resources, manage devices
and operate device parameters
within HOME

open standards such as ST2110, NMOS,
IEEE802.1x and RADIUS and follows
LUX, Lawo's unified experience design
principles, which provide a consistent
workflow across all Lawo IP products.
