Lawo mc²66 Mixes National Symphony Orchestra at NPR

But this year’s guest performers were bigger than most which have graced that facility: on February 27^th, 2017, the 70-plus members of the U.S. capitol’s National Symphony Orchestra entered NPR Studio 1 to perform the show’s instrumental interludes, featuring pieces from Mozart and Elgar, among others.

The entire performance was mixed using NPR’s Lawo mc²66 audio production console, installed as part of a total systems project which also encompasses three broadcast studios, 10 production suites, six production booths, and the technical operations center. In addition to the MC² console in Studio 1, Lawo sapphire and crystal radio mixing consoles are used throughout the facility, networked via a MADI-based routing matrix controlled by dual-redundant Lawo Nova73 audio routing systems.

Lawo has a full line of AES67-compliant control surfaces, including sapphire, sapphire compact and crystal mixing surfaces, crystal CLEAR and RƎLAY Virtual Radio Mixers. A number of prominent North American broadcasters, including NPR, NBC, CBC, Comcast, Fox, and MTV, have installed Lawo systems.
