Tech Focus: The Lawo diamond broadcast console combines modularity, scalability, and IP-native design for radio and TV broadcasting. 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, ensuring exceptional connectivity and flexibility.
diamond’s modular structure accommodates 2 to 60 faders in tabletop or counter-sunk frames. Each fader strip includes two full-color displays for source data and dual-fader layer operation, enabling intuitive and efficient multitasking. The consistent UI design and workflow principles across diamond, Lawo’s crystal, crystal Clear and Audio Production applications such as mc² systems, and Power Core RPv2 ensures 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.
Combining advanced technology with user-centric design, diamond offers a flexible, efficient, and futureproof answer to today’s broadcast challenges, Lawo says.
