mc²36 Audio Production Console
Big performance in a compact size: that’s Lawo’s new second-generation mc²36 audio production console, an incredibly powerful yet compact mixer, now even more capable with a new dual-fader operating bay that allows 48 faders in the same space as a 32-fader board. This makes the new mc²36 even more of an all-rounder for theater, houses of worship, corporate, live and broadcast audio applications – wherever ultra-high audio performance in close quarters is demanded.
With DSP more than doubled from its predecessor, the new mc²36 with built-in A__UHD Core functionality offers 256 processing channels, available at both 48 and 96 kHz, and natively supports ST2110, AES67, RAVENNA, and Ember+. It provides an I/O capacity of 864 channels, with local connections that include 3 redundant IP network interfaces, 16 Lawo-grade mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs, 8 AES3 inputs and outputs, 8 GPIO connections, and an SFP MADI port.
Operating and visualizing features include Button-Glow and touch-sensitive rotary controls, color TFT fader-strip displays, LiveView™ video thumbnails, and super-precise 21.5” full HD touchscreen controls. Its built-in full loudness control is compliant with the ITU 1770 (EBU/R128 or ATSC/A85) standard, featuring peak and loudness metering which can measure individual channels as well as summing busses.
The new mc²36 offers seamless integration of third-party solutions like recording systems, effects engines, and other systems running on external PCs, into its user interface. Applications display right in the console’s screen, while console keyboard, touchpad and touchscreen provide control.
Last but not least: mc²36 offers best-in-class integration of Waves SuperRack SoundGrid, providing operators with access to Waves’ extensive plug-in selection of real-time signal processing alongside the console’s internal processing engine — no additional screens or control devices required.
Moving the mc²36 to the A__UHD Core means that all developments in the future will happen on a single, unified platform, and Lawo continues to provide production file compatibility between all mc² consoles. For instance, a production file from an mc²36 can be used on an mc²96 for post-production — opening the door to a whole new level of performance.
The new mc²36 is based on Lawo’s A__UHD technology and includes Lawo’s innovative new IP Easy functionality that makes IP setup as simple as analog. IP Easy, based on Lawo’s innovative HOME management platform for IP-based media infrastructures, makes connecting IP audio and I/O devices as easy as if they were baseband – the console automatically detects new devices and makes them available at the touch of a button. IP Easy even manages IP addresses, multicast ranges, and VLANs, and includes security features like access control and quarantining of unknown devices to protect your network. HOME is natively built on a cloud-ready microservices architecture, enabling users to connect, manage and secure networked production setups from the ground up. Furthermore, it provides centralized access and control for all Lawo gear within a setup. HOME helps broadcast professionals address some of the most demanding requirements of modern IP infrastructures, including automated discovery and registration of devices, connection management, flow control, software & firmware management, scalability and security.

Lawo A__line nodes are designed to serve as IP audio stageboxes for mc² consoles, audio extensions for the V__matrix ecosystem, or as stand-alone IP audio gateways.
A__line devices provide distributed audio connectivity that makes it easy to scale audio I/O capacity in a networked system — temporarily or permanently. SMPTE ST2110-compliant, A__line offers a granular audio format selection similar to the flexibility found in baseband modular I/O systems, but eliminates system design limitations like maximum channel count per frame, fixed channel capacity per device interconnect, or fixed overall system size. Audio endpoints connected to A__line nodes can be seamlessly shared on LAN or WAN, and thanks to their fully standardized streaming technology, can interconnect to a wide variety of IP-enabled broadcast devices — A__line nodes are brand-agnostic.
A__line devices boast exceptional audio quality. Discrete, Class-A microphone preamplifiers deliver a superb dynamic range of 119dB(A), ultra low noise at all gain levels and a perfectly flat frequency response. Versatile analog I/O accommodates levels as high as +24dBu before clipping. Insertable, precise sample rate conversion is available on each AES3 input. For multichannel baseband interfacing, A__line features bi-directional MADI access via SFP. All devices employ the ST2110-30/31 and AES67 standards to transport uncompressed audio in real-time on Layer-3 IP networks, with ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching with dual-redundant network interfaces and ample receive buffer capacity to meet ST2022-7 class C specs for LAN and WAN deployment. Two redundant power inlets complete the package, along with PPM metering for all Analog and AES3 interfaces and PTP/Wordclock sync and conversion.

RP1
Many of these events might be of restricted interest, and may be broadcast to a narrow audience demographic. They may be regional news events which require a lot of content generation in a short space of time. They may require temporary infrastructures which need to be highly portable.
Remote production technology provides a realistic alternative for these events – the production of high quality content with fewer resources.
The barriers to effective remote broadcasting are speed (or latency), control and infrastructure.
1. Speed; the single biggest issue. Broadcast audio workflows rely on effective monitor mixes with no latency. This can be difficult to achieve when your studio is hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
2. Control; operators need real-time control over mic gains, fader levels and monitor mix levels.
3. Infrastructure; transport is always an issue. Multiple synced signals need to be moved in real time, and all down the same physical infrastructure. Audio, data and video all need to be considered, as well as multiple control protocols.
Calrec’s RP1 Remote Broadcast unit addresses all these challenges.
RP1 is a broadcast mixing system in a 2U rackmount box, containing Calrec’s award-winning Bluefin2 processing.
Calrec’s RP1 provides local DSP to enable the generation of monitor mixes and IFBs with no latency. It gives an operator in a remote studio direct control over channel functions such as mic gains, aux send/monitor mix levels and fader levels. It also provides a mechanism to embed audio into existing backhaul technologies, such as SDI.
All DSP and bus configuration can be carried out on-site using Assist, Calrec’s web-based configuration tool. Assist makes it simple for on-site engineers to set-up all IFB routing and remote monitor mix levels at the venue.
Versatile
This enables venue infrastructure, routing and monitor feeds to be tested prior to transmission. Local DSP processing also means there is no latency for commentary or talent monitoring.
With all DSP processing for monitor mixes taken care of on-site, the studio transmission console is able to concentrate purely on the main programme mix.
RP1 can embed all the transmission audio into existing video transport mechanisms, and in doing so ensures that there are no synchronisation issues. Its modular I/O backbone accepts any of Calrec’s I/O cards.
This versatility means RP1 can connect via a range of transports. The studio console mixing the transmission is able to assign these signals where required on the desk, so workflows are exactly the same as any other broadcast. Calrec’s unique True Control system makes it simple to control the RP1 from a control room located many miles away, giving the operator control over RP1’s channels and busses from a Calrec control surface.
In other words, the operator sits behind a console that he is already familiar with and assigns remote channel paths from the RP1 to local faders, just like any other channel.
True Control includes channel path fader levels and cuts, as well as aux send levels and ons, and aux master levels and cuts.
Future development includes VCA linking via the studio console, and control over EQ, dynamics and direct outputs via Calrec Assist.
True Control allows an operator to independently mix all the remote site IFBs and aux buses in addition to the local transmission mix on the studio console.
This is unique to RP1.
In fact, Calrec’s True Control provides the ability to link five independent RP1 units to the same studio-based console – all of which can be controlled from a single console surface.
RP1 is simple to set up and easy to use and enables broadcasters to cover a greater number of specialised events, such as regional or college sports and smaller entertainment events, at significantly reduced cost, making it possible to maintain an increasingly wide range of content.
';
Brio
The smallest in Calrec’s Bluefin2 family, Brio’s control surface is unlike any other console. Available in two sizes; Brio 36 with a 36 fader dual-layer surface at 892mm wide, or Brio 12 with a 12 fader dual-layer surface at only 484mm wide, they provide more faders in a given footprint than any other comparable audio console.
Based on Calrec’s 20 years of digital development, Brio’s uncluttered, compact and configurable surface gives instant access to a large number of audio paths, whilst an intuitive 15.6” HD touchscreen UI provides quick access to more in-depth control. A bank of illuminating hardware rotary controls give fast and precise control over parameters displayed in the touchscreen UI.
Brio is a mixing console completely focused on the needs of broadcasters. This level of scalable and managed I/O, comprehensive monitoring, surround sound and high bus quantities provides a level of dedicated broadcast functionality that has never been available at this level.
As the market calls for more and more audio mixes to support online content, smaller consoles that possess pure live broadcast features are increasingly desirable. Products in this sector have traditionally had basic capabilities and are not ideally suited to broadcast environments. Brio is the first application-specific alternative.
Brio’s compact size means it is extremely portable and quick to install, making it ideal as a general purpose workhorse that can be used as and when needed, and its connectivity with other Hydra2-compatible equipment makes it even more versatile.
Brio is entirely self-contained. Brio 36 even provides analogue and digital I/O, and GPIO, built into the surface. Additional expansion I/O slots are also fitted to allow for further I/O to be connected. A Hydra2 module can also be fitted to connect to and share audio over Calrec’s Hydra2 network. This means Hydra2’s sophisticated management facilities can be utilised
for network-wide control, including interfacing with multiple IP networks. This protects the system against any future formats that may emerge and allows the console to sit on multiple networks simultaneously if desired.
';
Summa
Its design keeps the user interface simple and straightforward. Calrec has focused on ensuring that Summa’s highly intuitive GUI would be suitable for a broad range of operator levels. Users control the console via a 17-inch multitouch screen inspired by familiar tablet technology, with a straightforward interface that uses established finger gestures to navigate the system. The crisp, high-resolution display provides elegant controls and clear presentation of information.
Designed for live broadcast applications and with a focus on intuitive operation, Summa simplifies even complex workflow tasks, such as creating mix-minus feeds, with common procedures that are just one tap away.
Summa’s other large displays are fully configurable to display bus, output,and loudness meters, and feature dedicated
metering, routing, and processing information per fader.
The physical control surface is available in fixed 12+8, 24+8 and 36+8 fader configurations with a new streamlined layout. Each channel strip has only the most essential mechanical controls, featuring a fader, two flexible control cells, and a dedicated gain pot.
Summa uses Calrec’s award-winning Bluefin2 technology at its core, and the same integral Hydra2 router technology as the Apollo and Artemis consoles. Bluefin2 and Hydra2 technologies are in use 24 hours a day.
Bluefin2 provides Summa with a pool of up to 180 channel processing paths, which can be assigned as mono, stereo, or 5.1 channels. As with all Calrec consoles, there is no resource-sharing across the DSP. All facilities are available on all channels at all times. Summa has eight groups, four mains (all of which can be mono, stereo, or 5.1), 16 auxes, and 32 tracks.
The broadcast-focused feature set also includes complete system redundancy, dedicated delay on all paths with additional assignable input and output delay, PFL overpress on all faders, and three 5.1 studio monitor outputs.
Summa’s refined mechanical design and a lean construction that keeps components and materials to a minimum. Disciplined power distribution means the console is one of the most energy efficient consoles available.
';
Artemis
The Calrec Artemis provides redundant hardware for ALL critical systems, and takeover is automatic and seamless. Hot spares mirror primary hardware and in the rare event of failure automatically take over with no disruption to the audio. This intelligent system covers DSP modules, control processor modules, router modules and all PSUs. With Calrec, you can be confident that you are always in control.
Intuitive and Ergonomic
Artemis has a flexible and intuitive control surface, incorporating colour, touch and tactile controls. The surface incorporates over 25 years of refinement of Calrec’s assignable console designs while the soft nature of the panels allows the operator to reconfigure them to reflect a variety of operating setups. We’ve worked hard to enhance the Artemis control surface to incorporate operator feedback.
The result is practical and elegant, offering the same sense of assurance associated with one-knob per function control. Form and function, seamlessly matched.
Powerful Processing
Bluefin2 gives the Artemis up to 680 input channel processing paths on a single DSP card, with a secondary card providing full and automatic redundancy. As you would expect from Calrec, all these are fully featured all of the time and are available irrespective of the processing load on other channels. In other words, channel resources are not shared across the console as a whole – they are dedicated resources and available at all times on every single channel.
Powerful Networking
Hydra2 is the Artemis’s backbone, linking the control surface to an 8192² router (4096² on the Artemis Light) and on to more complex networks when required. Hydra2 is adaptive and intelligent, automatically recognising changes to the network and updating all its clients. Hydra2’s plug and play nature allows networks to be designed to meet the specific requirements of the broadcast facility and ensures future flexibility.
Interoperable
Hydra2 is more than just a signal transport system; it is a powerful management tool that provides increased network-wide control of many parameters. Virtual interfaces like H2O and Hydra Patchbays provide additional tools for control room and studio resource management, allowing remote network administrators to put control rooms “on-air” and to manage the sources available to them. Calrec is committed to an agnostic future. AoIP interconnections provide more flexible and elegant replacements than traditional transports. AoIP will save money, increase efficiency, provide additional security and redundancy, and encourage remote working. Most of all it promotes freedom of choice. But while non-proprietary AoIP solutions are commonly not able to offer the low latency, determinism, capacity, and broadcast feature-rich audio networking of Hydra2, they are a perfect companion technology to Hydra2
for wider connectivity to third-party equipment in a broadcast facility.

But while non-proprietary AoIP solutions are commonly not able to offer the low latency, determinism, capacity, and broadcast feature-rich audio networking of Hydra2, they are a perfect companion technology to Hydra2
for wider connectivity to third-party equipment in a broadcast facility.
Powerful Processing
Bluefin2 gives the Apollo a staggering 1020 input channel processing paths for the biggest 5.1 projects and is a DSP powerhouse amongst modern broadcast consoles. As you would expect from Calrec, all these are fully featured all of the time and are available irrespective of the processing load on other channels. In other words, channel resources are not shared across the console as a whole – they are dedicated resources and available at all times on every single channel.

Ovation
Live events or live broadcasts are multimedia and require a new set of tools to successfully deliver the right result. This is often in surround or immersive audio and can be a mixture of prerecorded and live action. Ovation is the answer in providing the complexity needed for the production with the simplicity needed for the live broadcast. No other system offers the flexibility of cue management, cue triggering, output configuration and compatibility with other show control or broadcast devices. Onboard mixing with automation, Pyramix in the background for cue editing and level control, as-played logs, 3D panning; the list of features goes on. The ability to add live announcements to a prerecorded show is a must for any venue.
The latest version supports VST3 plugins, adds full console automation, UDP/IP support, remote controller enhancements and a host of seemingly small but significant improvements. The choice of controller and UI and the many options for outputting commands make Ovation ideal as a show controller or equally happy working with popular video servers or show controllers. Ovation provides the ability to move far beyond the standard workstation limit of playing one sound per output. Able to sum as many layers of sound as needed to any output in the system, users can play back as many multi-track events as needed without any need for them to be linked or chased in any way. Able to sum playback information into surround and stereo buses at the same time while also providing an almost limitless amount of mix-minus buses to manage live broadcast inputs makes the Ovation the perfect audio hub for broadcast productions.
