Power Core GATEWAY is a modular, networked I/O node for Lawo mc² audio consoles that easily handles the diverse audio formats found in modern production environments. In standard form, it accommodates 64 channels of MADI audio via its front-panel port, but I/O count can easily be expanded using the eight rear-panel slots which can be loaded with Mic, Line, AES3 and GPIO cards, in any combination, for a total I/O capacity of up to 128 channels. Power Core GATEWAY includes ST2022-7 compliance for network redundancy and Class C jitter / network latency robustness. Its IP interface complies with ST2110-30/-31, AES67 and RAVENNA networking standards to deliver maximum interoperability; full remote control of adjustable parameters, such as Mic preamp gain and other settings, are accessible directly from the mc² surface.
To accommodate even more sophisticated workflows, Power Core GATEWAY has a flexible license system that enables easy upgrade to the popular Lawo Power Core RP feature set to add powerful DSP audio shaping tools, elevating the unit from pure I/O device to a full-featured remote production solution for mc² consoles.
