Lawo In On Window to World
A Lawo mc266 has been installed in one of the key
production studios at Arirang, South Korea’s cable and
satellite channel, as the broadcaster moves across to
HD technology.
The 16+8+8 fader, 32-frame size mc266 is the first Lawo
console to be installed at the facilities, where it will take
position in Studio D of the broadcast station, where news,
live talk shows, and general entertainment programmes
are made. The broadcaster is the country’s premier
domestically-produced English-language TV network,
fondly dubbed ‘the world’s window into Korea’.
Arirang’s main audio engineer, Mr Choong-Hwan
Choi, said that competition to supply the console system
was tough. “We were looking for a very reliable, high
quality system with an intuitive operational interface…
Lawo systems have the advantage when it comes to
redundancy, and the powerful DSP capabilities within the
console.” He commented that: “The Lawo mc266 provides
complete satisfaction of our criteria.”

What is MADI?
Multichannel
Audio
Digital
Interface
MADI is the Pro Audio Industry standard for
multichannel audio and the perfect solution for
the transmission of multiple digital audio channels.
MADI avoids the technical problems of standard
multicore cables: shortness, aging, high weight
and costs, stray pick-up, cable loss, cumbersome
handling.
A thin cable transmits
up to 64 audio channels - lossless -
over distances of
up to 2000 meters!
Two MADI cables only will interface a full
64-channel application, a stage, a theatre, or a
conference hall.
Example
2 x optical cable
2 x 64 channels . up to 2000 m
Analog . AES/EBU . ADAT . TDIF
Integrating MADI solutions into an audio network
not only increases more than just reliability. The
setup and cabling is simple, too. Routings are
remote controllable without any physical switching
or swapping of connections. MADI simplifies and
speeds up any configuration changes. MADI saves
time and therefore costs.
