Description
The mc²36 brings Lawo's networking know-how into a compact, self-contained frame. Above all, it's a broadcast-ready console: 256 DSP paths, a huge I/O capacity for its size, and native ST2110/AES67/Ravenna support that plugs it straight into modern IP infrastructures, no external router required.
