The integration company Professional Audio & Television has recently deployed a Lawo mc²36 MkII 32-fader production console to the NINE Network for their ST2110 IP broadcast facility in North Sydney. Native SMPTE2110-30 capabilities of the console were one of the main reasons of this choice.

The new mc²36 represents Lawo’s desire to reduce the size of the console as much as possible while increasing its feature set. The console boasts double the number of DSP channels than its predecessor, both at 48 kHz and 96 kHz. It delivers the same superb convenience as its larger siblings: all industry-standard audio inputs and outputs are built-in, with native IP connectivity at its center.

“This is the first Lawo mc² console based on Lawo’s native IP control called HOME, an intuitive easy to use web GUI which simplifies the AoIP experience for the user” outlines PAT’s Managing Director, Patrick Salloch. “We are delighted and honored that NINE have chosen Lawo technology again to expand on their already impressive Lawo video processing, Multiviewer and control solutions at 1D Street. To have been able to provide a mc² console to this world class facility is certainly the icing on the cake for us.”

“The NINE Network has a long-standing relationship with Lawo and PAT and it made perfect sense to consider Lawo’s mc² audio solutions when expanding our audio production facilities in 1 Denison Street. The Lawo mc2 36 MKII met all of our technical requirements and is the right choice for our ST2110 facility” said NINE Network’s Broadcast CTO, David Bowers.
