Lawo has announced the Virtual Sound Card (VSC) for macOS 14 (Sonoma and later) enabling seamless integration of Apple desktops and laptops into Ravenna/AES67 AoIP networks.
Lawo VSC supports advanced workflows in broadcast and studio environments. Running as a background service, it converts local audio into Ravenna/AES67 streams, fully compliant with open AoIP standards. The licensed VSC version offers support for up to 128 audio devices, 128 senders and receivers, and sampling rates up to 96kHz. It also includes features like PTP synchronisation for precise timing, multicast and unicast streaming, and adherence to SMPTE ST2110 and ST2022-7 standards for redundancy.
For streamlined control, Lawo VSC integrates with Lawo Home, providing centralised management and easy discovery of devices via mDNS and SAP.
The free version is now available for download, offering basic functionality with one virtual audio device and two channels. Whether for AoIP infrastructure or studio applications, Lawo VSC enhances flexibility and scalability, bringing professional-grade audio to macOS users.
