Concert de Paris 2020 Mixed with Lawo mc Consoles

13/10/2020

Lawo mixing consoles provided sublime audio quality for the traditional Concert de Paris at Champs du Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

Pour la version fran aise, voir ci-dessous.

All of France marks the beginning of the modern French Nation each year on 14 July, with events taking place all over the country - but this year's National Holiday was quite different due to the pandemic felt everywhere in the world. Lawo mixing consoles provided the highest possible audio quality for the traditional Concert de Paris taking place on the Champs du Mars at the foot of the Eiffel Tower - Lawo's sixth successive year serving both the live and broadcast sound requirements.

The FOH consoles used were a 48-fader mc 56 production console for the orchestra mix, and an mc 36 all-in-one console for the soloists. A 48-fader mc 56 took over the monitor tasks in a setup with a 16-fader mc extender that was used in order to allow social distancing between the two operators. Working over the Optocore fiber-optic network deployed by Radio France for the live sound system to connect the event's mixing consoles and I/O systems, the Concert de Paris proved again to shift audio standards and operating efficiencies to a new level.

Separate preamp control for FOH and monitors and a split to the Lawo mc 66 console used for the broadcast mix in a Radio France OB vehicle enabled use of the on-air console's own stageboxes and DALLIS mic preamps.

The Concert de Paris on 14th July is one of the largest classical music events held anywhere in the world with as many as 500,000 spectators on-site in pre-pandemic years, and is followed by a traditional firework display. The show - featuring the Orchestre National de France and the Ch ur de Radio France, along with internationally renowned soloists - was relayed to 2,84 million TV viewers in France and an estimated 10 million audience in Europe with the Lawo setup.

F te nationale fran aise 2020 : Concert de Paris mix avec des consoles Lawo mc pour 10 millions de t l spectateurs

Dans la France enti re, chaque ann e, le 14 juillet marque le d but de la nation fran aise moderne, avec des v nements qui se d roulent dans tout le pays. Cette ann e, la f te nationale tait toutefois bien diff rente en raison de la pand mie ressentie partout dans le monde. Les consoles de mixage de Lawo ont fourni la meilleure qualit audio possible pour le traditionnel Concert de Paris qui a eu lieu sur le Champs de Mars au pied de la Tour Eiffel la sixi me ann e cons cutive pour Lawo r pondant la fois aux exigences du live et de la diffusion.

Les consoles utilis es pour la r gie fa ade taient : une console de production 48 fader mc 56 pour le mixage de l'orchestre, et une console tout-en-un mc 36 pour les solistes. Une mc 56 48 faders tait utilis e pour la gestion des circuits de monitoring, dans une configuration avec une extension 16 faders afin de permettre une distanciation sociale appropri e entre les deux op rateurs. Avec un r seau de fibre optique Optocore d ploy par Radio France afin de connecter les consoles de mixage et les syst mes d'entr es/sorties du syst me de sonorisation, le Concert de Paris a prouv une fois de plus qu'il permettait de faire passer les normes audio et l'efficacit op rationnelle un niveau sup rieur.

Le contr le s par des pr amplis pour la salle de concert et les moniteurs, ainsi qu'une s paration vers la console Lawo mc 66 utilis e pour le mixage de diffusion dans un car r gie de Radio France ont permis d'utiliser les bo tiers de sc ne et les pr amplis micro DALLIS de la console on-air.

Le Concert de Paris du 14 juillet est l'un des plus grands v nements de musique classique organis s dans le monde entier, avec pas moins de 500 000 spectateurs sur place dans les ann es pr -pand miques, et il est suivi d'un feu d'artifice traditionnel. Le spectacle auquel participent l'Orchestre national de France et le Ch ur de Radio France, ainsi que des solistes de renomm e internationale a t retransmis 2,84 millions de t l spectateurs en France et un public estim 10 millions de personnes en Europe avec le dispositif Lawo.
