Österreichischer Rundfunk, Austria’s national broadcaster, has announced the installation of a Lawo mc256 MkIII console at its sound control in the Vienna Musikverein sound control room. It joins a the installed Lawo IP audio network.
The console is powered by a Lawo A_UHD Core engine licensed for 256 channels.
ORF Project Manager Audio Technology Reinhard Tomek said, “This new setup is more than just an upgrade — it’s our gateway into next-generation audio IP technology. It offers us tremendous flexibility for future expansions and seamless integration of external devices. The incorporation of Lawo’s Home platform simplifies system management, while keeping interfaces to external IP-enabled systems open and adaptable.”
The console and system are kitted out in the latest Lawo features including a new seven-band EQ Waves SuperRack 15 for maxxing out the audio possibilities including surround formats up to 9.1.4.
Tomek explained, “Native control of Waves processing within the console streamlines live operations significantly. It allows complex sound processing to be embedded directly into the workflow, eliminating the need for external workstations or workaround solutions.”
Lawo also provided three days of training for ORF personnel in August.
