Lawo has announced the integration of Waves SoundGrid servers into its mc2 series of digital mixing consoles. As a result of the companies’ collaboration, Lawo’s mc²36 all-in-one console now provides extensive real-time signal processing in addition to its internal processing engine.
The system gives operators access to Waves’ plug-in library, adding control of reverbs, multi-tap delays, graphic equalisers and multiband compressors via the console’s keyboard and touchscreen. All plug-in settings can easily stored and recalled with the console’s snapshots.
The mc²36 console provides 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.
‘The cooperation with Waves is very fruitful and also extremely enjoyable, as both companies’ R&D teams were able to achieve the integration of Waves plug-ins with our consoles in very short time’, says 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.’
