Radio 47 in Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi has unveiled modern IP-based radio studios, with a little help from Lawo.
A release explained, “Each of the three new on-air studios at Radio 47 features a Lawo crystal console, chosen for its compact form factor, intuitive operation, and seamless integration with IP workflows. The consoles are networked to a centralized Lawo Power Core, a high-density, modular IP I/O and mixing engine capable of managing extensive audio routing, DSP processing, and multiple studio operations from a single location.”
It added, “The integrated Lawo VisTool GUI software provides customizable touchscreen interfaces for control and visualization of sources, meters, and routing, helping operators stay focused and efficient even in complex, multiplatform productions. The new workflow allows for full remote control and monitoring of all broadcast operations, simplifying day-to-day production and enabling greater flexibility for remote and hybrid teams.”
Irene Wanjiku, head of production for Radio 47 owner Cape Media Ltd. said, “This system has revolutionized our workflow. What once took multiple teams, complex routing, and manual effort is now seamless and intuitive. From OB feeds to livestream guests, we control everything from one dashboard.”
Lawo regional partner and broadcast facility integrator Mediacity Ads Ltd. ran the project.
