Lawo Unveil ISE 2026 Showcase

The Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) exhibition, scheduled for February 3–6, 2026, in Barcelona, has firmly established itself as the global benchmark event for professional Audio-Visual (AV) innovation.

Lawo is capitalising on this platform to showcase how its IP-based technologies are revolutionising production environments across a wide array of applications, including live events, theatres, opera houses, and stadiums. At booth 5H700, the German manufacturer will feature its highly adaptable mc² mixing console range, which offers extensive integration capabilities, alongside its HOME Platform and HOME Apps ecosystem, which handles both Audio and Video Processing. These solutions have been specifically engineered to address the Pro-AV industry’s increasing requirement for flexibility, scalability, and modern, software-defined workflows.

The ISE premiere will focus on the remarkable scalability of the mc² series, available for both the front-end control surfaces and the back-end processing. The front-end options provide the right-sized solution for any scenario, from the smallest decentralised setup utilising a fully virtual software panel or a hardware-based mc² crystal controller, through the portable mc²56 MkIII 16-fader Extender, up to a full-sized mc²56 MkIII console surface. All these versions will be displayed in Barcelona, debuting new fader bay pop-ups featuring touch control for significantly faster and more intuitive operation in distributed configurations, which are perfectly suited for dual-operator workflows in large venues or for highly portable solutions in smaller spaces.

In combination with either the A__UHD Core or the HOME mc² DSP app, or both, the frontend is as flexible as its backend. New: HOME Apps can now run in converged setups, where HOME and HOME Apps are hosted on the same physical machine, reducing weight, rack space, and power consumption – making the overall solution more cost-effective than ever. While the physical footprint continues to shrink, mc² processing power has reached new heights with the addition of three dynamic filter bands to every EQ module.

Opera & Theater: Converged Solutions for Show Control and Automation
For venues dedicated to music and performing arts, Lawo offers native QLab integration and showcases an integration with zactrack’s premium tracking solutions for automated actor tracking and mute control, live at the booth in Barcelona. Experience, how mc2 consoles can converge multiple Show Control and Automation providers, allowing users to override data live from the mixing console surface, while continuously transferring the object data to immersive sound rendering engines.

More Apps, More Disciplines, More Value
The Lawo HOME Apps platform offers a wide range of audio and video processing tools – including Audio Shuffling and Mixing, Multiviewing, Format Conversion, Color Correction, Downstream Keying, Essence Delay, and Stream Transcoding. As the Pro-AV and broadcast industry moves towards virtualization and cloud-native workflows, Lawo’s HOME Apps ecosystem adds processing to your network, by providing modular, software-defined tools based on standard COTS servers, allowing to seamlessly process SMPTE ST2110, AES67, SRT, WebRTC and NDI signals, with native Dante® support being added moving forward.

Spin up required processing resources in seconds – when and where you need it, while utilizing the same flexible licensing, all running on commodity hardware – no matter which type of audio or video processing the particular job of the day requires.

Need to convert SDI sources to IP? Lawo has you covered with the .edge Hyper-Density SDI/IP Gateway and Processing Platform. This edge device not only bridges SDI and IP formats but also provides advanced processing capabilities, including audio embedding and de-embedding, channel shuffling, and color correction. Wherever high-density SDI/IP conversion is required, the Lawo .edge solution delivers seamless integration with powerful edge processing functions.

Proven in World-Class Venues
Lawo’s IP solutions are already setting standards in prestigious installations worldwide. Opera houses employ mc² consoles and A__UHD Cores integrated with the HOME platform to deliver immersive audio for opera and ballet events. Stadiums and large venues rely on SMPTE ST-2110 infrastructures to power 4K workflows for sports and major live events. Institutions such as parliaments use modern audio-over-IP infrastructures based on Lawo’s IP- and software-based portfolio for flexible, high-quality productions.

Visit Lawo at ISE 2026, Booth 5H700, and experience how software-based processing and IP technology can shape the future of your application.
