Power Core
GATEWAY/RP

Modular IP
Audio I/O Node
for mc²
What is it?
The Power CoreGATEWAY and Power CoreRP are modular, networked
I/O nodes for Lawo mc² audio consoles that accomodate all audio
formats found in modern production environments.

What do they do?

Lawo’s Power CoreGATEWAY and Power CoreRP are designed to
integrate seamlessly with mc² audio production consoles. In their
standard form, they accomodates 64 channels of MADI audio via
the front-panel port. Their I/O count can easily be expanded via
the eight rear-panel slots using MIC, Line, AES3 and GPI/O cards
in any combination, for a total I/O capacity of up to 128 channels.

Designed for mission-critical applications, the Power CoreGATEWAY

and Power CoreRP include ST2022-7 seamless protection switching
compliance for network redundancy and Class-C jitter/network
latency robustness. Their IP interface complies with the ST2110-
30/-31, AES67 and RAVENNA networking standards to deliver
maximum interoperability within your production workflow. Full
remote control of adjustable parameters, such as MIC preamp gain
and other settings, is afforded directly from a mc² control surface.

To accomodate the most sophisticated workflows, the
