Sydney-based Professional Audio & Television has supplied a Lawo mc²36MkII 32-fader production console to NINE Network for its North Sydney IP broadcast studios.

PAT has added the new console to the network’s existing audio infrastructure and says it chose the console because of its native SMPTE2110-30 capabilities, among other features. NINE Network delegates authorized the choice after spending some time behind an mc²36 MKII desk at PAT’s demo facility in Sydney.

“This is the first Lawo mc² console based on Lawo’s native IP control called HOME, an intuitive easy-to-use web GUI which simplifies the AoIP experience for the user,” said PAT’s managing director, Patrick Salloch. “We are delighted and honored that NINE have chosen Lawo technology again to expand on their already impressive Lawo video processing, multiviewer and control solutions. Providing an mc² console to this world-class facility is certainly the icing on the cake for us,” he said.

“The NINE Network has a long-standing relationship with Lawo and PAT, and it made perfect sense to consider Lawo’s mc² audio solutions when expanding our audio production facilities. The Lawo mc2 36 MKII met all our technical requirements and is the right choice,” said NINE Network’s broadcast CTO, David Bowers.
