TBS purchases Lawo mc290

Turner Broadcasting System has purchased the Lawo mc290 digital audio production console — one of the first in the United States.

The 64-fader mc290, the newest addition to the Lawo product range, was selected for its ability to increase the number of channels available to production staff producing “Inside The NBA,” which airs in 5.1 surround sound on Turner Network Television.

The new audio console, including a Nova73 HD digital audio routing system, will expand the local I/O infrastructure and provide a higher level of redundancy for the live show.

The planned configuration will provide 288 fully configured DSP paths and 144 summing busses. It will also include up to 96 mic/line inputs using two stage boxes, with full networking and system redundancy.
