Lawo has announced the new mc²36 xp audio production console that’s physically identical to the mc²36 MkII but without onboard processing in supporting up to 256 DSP channels and offering IP networking and processing redundancy as well as eligibility for a multi-slice console array based around a single A__UHD Core processing unit.
The mc²36 xp requires external audio processing, and in combination with the Pooling 8 license, it can share the DSP of one A__UHD Core with up to seven other virtual or physical console surfaces. It’s available with 16, 32 or 48 faders and comes equipped with the same controls and touchscreens as its bigger brothers, the mc²56 and mc²96.
Onboard I/O capability includes 16 mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs, eight AES inputs and outputs, eight GPI/Os plus a local MADI port (SFP).
The mc²36 xp supports 48kHz and 96kHz operation, immersive audio mixing and all relevant IP standards (ST2110, AES67/RAVENNA, ST2022-7). It is a HOME native and offers production file compatibility with its mc² siblings.
