Welcome to the Mercedes Benz of Digital Audio Consoles…
With experience gathered over more than 40 years, Lawo is distinguished by its engineering and manufacturing of most reliable and most advanced audio mixing consoles available. Originally developed for broadcast environments with zero tolerance for failure, Lawo consoles are also widely chosen for their audio quality in theater, studio and live performance applications.
Easy – versatile – reliable. The new mc²36 is the German company’s first all-in-one console, designed for maximum ease-of-use and “unbelievable” value-for-money, to make the benefit of this expertise available for an even broader group of users. The compact size, in-built DSP and I/0 make the new console equally perfect for permanent installations with limited space and rental companies’ transportation demands.

Product Description
The mc² Compact I/O is a convenient and cost-efficient way to expand the mc²36’s connectivity and to provide a distant stagebox solution in addition to the Onboard I/O. Connected via CAT5 or fiber (optional), the ruggedized 5RU stagebox provides 32 Mic/Line inputs, 32 Line outputs, 8 digital AES3 inputs, 8 digital AES3 outputs, 8 GPIO and a MADI (SFP) port. The mc²36 allows for connecting up to three mc² Compact I/O.
Integrated DSP Micro-Core
The Lawo mc²36 features a new, integrated DSP micro-core with an internal 512×512 port audio matrix. lt is super-compact and optimized for low power consumption using inaudible, low-spinning fans for cooling. This is especially important in environments such as concert halls, where fan noise is obtrusive.
To provide maximum reliability, the mc²36 is not only equipped with redundant power-supplies but also redundant DSP cards – unprecedented at this price point. The DSP resources are fully flexible and can be allocated according to application. Depending on the selected DSP mode, the processing capacity ranges from 48 DSP channels (Recording Mode, providing 96kHz*/48kHz with DSP redundancy) to 192 DSP channels (Broadcast Mode, at 48kHz without DSP redundancy). Independent from the selected DSP mode, the engines provide completely independent algorithms at all time, with no compromise in quality even when all channels are in use. With internal headroom of >1OOOdB and Lawo algorithms, the audio quality of further processing is guaranteed throughout the signal chain.
As a result, the DSP flexibility and internal audio quality make the console truly universal: set it up to record a symphonic orchestra one day, and run a TV production the next.
