Music Mix Mobile has completed an upgrade of the audio console in the Voyager production truck, installing a 48-fader Lawo mc²56 surface supported by an HD core.
‘Our goal was to create an even more powerful remote music truck, and the Lawo system allows us total flexibility for music recording and broadcast, along with the brilliant sound quality required for music applications,’ says Joel Singer, co-owner and chief engineer of Music Mix Mobile (M3).
‘We previously had a smaller Lawo mc²36 in this truck, but with the increase in larger input shows we’re doing, we decided to dedicate that mc²36 to one of our smaller mobiles and put a larger mc²56 into this truck. We now have three mc²56 trucks and one mc²36 truck on the road, doing some of the largest music broadcasts and recordings in this hemisphere.’
The system’s HD core has four eight-port Madi cards offering 2,048 bidirectional channels and six DSP cards supporting more than 560 DSP channels and the use of dual master cards in both the console core and all Dallis frames providing dual-star redundancy to support critical live-to-air applications. Voyager had its inaugural run with the new Lawo system at the Tidal Music Festival in Brooklyn, New York. Slated follow-up projects include the forthcoming iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina 2017 in Miami, and the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas. In addition to the mc²56, Voyager’s new audio gear complement includes two Lawo Dallis mic preamplifier racks with more I/O for larger events easily added by connecting additional Dallis modular stageboxes.
‘Working with Lawo is more than installing and using the best gear in the world,’ Singer adds. ‘It’s working with people that care about their product, and how it’s used. From day one, the interface with local and worldwide Lawo employees equals the brilliance of their products. A win-win situation for anyone working on this level.’
