mc²96 GRAND PRODUCTION CONSOLE

PURE, PRECISE, PEERLESS. With the mc²96, the mc² platform is pushed beyond limitations, culminating in a pure, unparalleled audio production tool dedicated to those who can tell the difference. Whether its intended to be used in broadcast, theater or recording – in each of these applications it stands out with a unique set of features. The mc²96 provides optimized performance within IP video production environments with native SMPTE 2110 support.

In addition to standard channel labeling via channel numbers, individual text labels and static pictures or icons, the mc²96 also features LiveView™ video thumbnails for even more intuitive channel identification. Simply touch a fader and the LiveView™ thumbnail changes to full-screen mode, providing a more detailed view of that channel’s video source such as a camera or a replay machine.

The mc² 96 console is not just a stand-alone solution, but has been designed from the ground up for networking in complex production infrastructures via IP (SMPTE2110 / RAVENNA/AES67 / DANTE) or MADI. When using shared DALLIS I/Os, Lawo’s unique IP-Share™ Network Gain Compensation prevents unexpected gain changes for up to eight networked consoles when individual users are adjusting their gain settings.

The DALLIS I/O communicates with all networked consoles and its unique IP-Share™ algorithm sets the optimum analog gain for multi-client requirements. Furthermore IP-Share™ ensures that the corresponding gain compensation is applied to the digital gain stages of all consoles when the analog gain of the preamp is being adjusted.
