This year, the systems will be set up in two separate areas - in a live stage zone and a theatresector. Also being demonstrated, video streaming over IP can be used as a solution for orchestra conductor camera and backstage screens for ensemble and staff following theatre scenes on stage.
Live mixing will be demonstrated on the Eclipse GT, and on the mc²56 with another, networked daughter mc²56, mirroring the settings of the master console. Also an mc²66 will be set up to demo theatre applications.
In Frankfurt, Lawo will present the Innovason Eclipse GT live mixer, featuring new soundpad functionality that allows recorded sounds to be recalled at the push of a button and can be used to provide sound effects for scenes being performed on stage. Another unique feature is PANDORA* (*PAN Digitally Optimized for Real Acoustic). This innovative panning process makes it possible to create a natural listening experience even at the edges of large live music audience areas.
The compact mc²56 and mc²66 consoles boast new features, integrating the mc² AutoMix feature, which automatically adjusts the levels of active and inactive microphones while keeping a constant ambient level.
Visitors are welcome to watch presentations, take part in demos and get hands-on experience. They are also invited to socialize and network during the daily Lawo Happy Hour, from 5pm to 6pm.
