Lawo Introduces Waves SoundGrid Integration

Lawo and Waves have jointly unveiled the integration of Waves SoundGrid servers with Lawo mc2 consoles.

As a result of the collaboration, Lawo's mc²36 all-in-one console now offers extensive real-time signal processing, as well as an internal processing engine. The system provides operators access to Waves' comprehensive plug-in library, allowing them to control reverbs, multi-tap delays, graphic equalizers and multiband compressors directly via the console's keyboard and touch-screen. No additional monitors or controls are needed. All plug-in settings can be easily stored and recalled with the console's snapshots.

Mick Olesh, Waves EVP Sales & Marketing, said: "Waves is delighted to collaborate with Lawo and is pleased to give their users easy access to Waves plug-ins on Lawo consoles. This cooperation with Lawo realizes our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with the freedom to use Waves plug-ins in all settings and environments."

"The cooperation with Waves is very fruitful and also extremely enjoyable. Both companies are very focused and so our R&D teams were able to achieve the integration of Waves plug-ins with our consoles in very short time," added 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."

The mc²36 consoles are designed to provide 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 also 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 RAVENNA audio-over-IP technology as well as full support for AES67.
