Philippines' ABS-CBN upgrades with Lawo mc56 consoles

Philippines' leading media and entertainment organization, ABS-CBN Corporation, has upgraded Control Rooms 3 and 10 at its TV production studios in Quezon City (close to the country's capital, Manila) with identical Lawo mc 56 audio consoles. The new consoles replaced two dated desks and were installed by Broadcast Communications International, the main contractor for the upgrade.

The IP-based Lawo production consoles - each with 64 faders and providing 270 DSP channels, a routing capacity of 5120x5120 crosspoints, integrated Waves SoundGrid servers and connectivity via four DALLIS I/O frames - mark the first Lawo equipment installations in the Philippines. After a rigorous selection process carried out by ABS-CBN in the preceding months, the order for the mc 56 consoles arrived with Lawo in February 2017.

Following delivery and several months required for installation, testing and training - all according to ABS-CBN's ambitious project schedule - the modernized IP-ready studio control rooms went on-air in January 2018.

Tan Boon Siong, Lawo's Sales Director for Southeast Asia, commented: We are proud to have our first large-scale installation in Philippines. With this, we have entered a new relationship with ABS-CBN, and are confident that we are able to provide our best support, services and technology - not only to ABS-CBN, but to all our customers in the Philippines.
