Lawo's all-new diamond
Broadcast Console deployed
wiss private radio stations
Radio 24 and Virgin Radio
Switzerland, owned by CH Media,
have become the first stations to
install Lawo's newly introduced
diamond
S
radio
consoles.
Consulting, installation and
integration of the IP-based radio
consoles was handled by Swiss
systems integrator SLG Broadcast,
based near Zurich. So far, a total of
seven new diamond consoles have been
installed in the control and production
rooms.
Each of the three identically
equipped broadcast control rooms
provides workstations for an anchor
and a co-host, plus a news position
and two guest positions. The anchor
works at a 12-fader split console,
while the co-host uses a 4-fader unit;
a 2-fader module for the news reader
rounds out the installation. diamond's
modular design allows the intuitive,
flexible controls to be tailored to
the exact needs of the show hosts
and technicians, optimizing station
workflows.
CH Media, a Lawo customer since
2011, was very excited to be the first
customers to install the diamond
console system and test it live on-theair
- even before its official launch.
The IP-native diamond is based on
the open AES67/RAVENNA audioover-IP
network standards and also
complies with ST2110-30/-31 and
ST2022-7 standards. The Power Core
mixing engine provides expandable
I/O connectivity for AES67, MADI,
analog, AES3 and Dante®.
With its modular design, diamond
consoles can be sized from 2 to
60 physical faders, available in
desktop or flush-mount versions.
Fader-adjacent color displays
provide advanced source information,
and two fader layers allow direct
switching between different tasks.
Quiet motorized faders and precise
rotary encoders, adopted from Lawo's
renowned mc² audio production
consoles, enable smooth integration
with program automation and playout
systems - perfect for multi-layer
operations such as voice tracking,
remote production or DAW control.
Programmable color-coded LED button
and encoder lights highlight common
control functions.
