The Lawo diamond broadcast console combines modularity, scalability and IP-native design. Based on Ravenna/AES67 standards and compliant with ST 2110-30/-31 and ST 2022-7, diamond integrates into modern IP workflows. Powered by the software-defined Power Core Engine, it provides 96 DSP processing channels and supports AES67, MADI, analog, AES3 and Dante audio formats.
diamond’s modular structure accommodates from two to 60 faders in tabletop or countersunk frames. Each fader strip includes two full-color displays for source data and dual-fader layer operation, enabling efficient multitasking. Lawo says that the consistent UI design and workflow principles across its diamond, crystal, crystal Clear and audio production applications, such as mc² systems and Power Core RPv2, ensure seamless operation for broadcasters.
The optional Virtual Extension module augments the console with real-time bargraphs, processing indicators and customizable slots for program meters, loudness metering, clocks, timers and real-time video feeds. Interactive touch controls facilitate fine-tuning and snapshot recall. The Virtual Extension App integrates with third-party systems, including automation/playout systems, codec management and social media platforms, creating a comprehensive self-op radio solution.
