Lawo Power Core Goes To The MAX

Lawo has announced a new software license package for its versatile Power Core AoIP mixing engine and I/O node: Power Core MAX. 'MAX', short for Multiple Access, makes it possible for a single Power Core device to be the mixing engine for multiple on-air mixing consoles.

"Many of Lawo's customers are large public broadcasters whose workflows dictate big mixing surfaces, so Power Core was designed with a huge amount of DSP and modular I/O in just 1RU — maybe even too much for an average console," said Lawo Radio Marketing Specialist Clark Novak. "Power Core MAX lets you unlock all those resources to power two, three or even four small mixing surfaces. That’s a capability that anyone who wants to maximise their equipment budget will immediately appreciate."

Power Core is a true AoIP workhorse. Dual-redundant front-panel AES67 ports can accommodate up to 128 streams with a total of 256 audio channels. Four front-panel MADI ports can handle 64 MADI channels each, for a total of 256 channels, or 128 MADI channels in dual-redundant mode. Meanwhile, 8 rear-panel expansion slots allow mixing-and-matching analog line, AES3, Mic, MADI with sample-rate conversion, and Dante interface cards to allow tailoring a custom I/O load to nearly any operational requirement.
