INDIA: At this year’s Broadcast India exhibition (October 14 to 16, 2025, Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai), Indian systems integrator and Lawo partner Comcon Technologies Ltd. will present the Lawo mc²56 MkIII Audio Production Console in a full-fledged configuration for the first time in the country. The show brings together technology leaders and professionals to explore cutting-edge solutions for content creation and delivery.

Tan, Boon Siong, Sales Director, S.E. Asia, India & APAC (Radio) at Lawo, commented “Comcon is an outstanding partner with a deep understanding of the Indian market. Their decision to feature the mc²56 MkIII at Broadcast India demonstrates the growing importance of IP-based solutions in this region. We are excited to show visitors how our technology ensures top-quality sound, efficient workflows, and complete future-readiness.”

The Lawo mc²56 MkIII is a state-of-the-art audio production console designed for premium live and broadcast applications. It combines IP-native architecture with superior sound quality, comprehensive routing capabilities, and the ergonomic workflow that has made Lawo consoles the preferred choice for international broadcasters and OB operators. Native support for SMPTE ST2110, AES67/RAVENNA and MADI ensures seamless integration into IP-based environments, guaranteeing interoperability and future-proof scalability. For broadcasters, this delivers reduced infrastructure complexity, centralized resource sharing, and the flexibility to adapt to evolving production models, including remote and distributed workflows.

At the heart of the mc²56 MkIII is the A__UHD Core, Lawo’s powerful IP-native audio engine. This processing core provides 1,024 fully DSP-equipped channels at both 48 kHz and 96 kHz, supports true network-based operation, and enables resource sharing across multiple consoles. The A__UHD Core fits into just 1RU yet delivers enormous processing capacity, complete with SMPTE ST2110 compliance, AES67/RAVENNA connectivity, and full redundancy for mission-critical reliability. Its design allows operators to scale DSP resources dynamically and handle the most complex productions — from large-scale sports events to multi-studio entertainment shows — with great efficiency and flexibility.

The mc²56 MkIII also offers immersive audio capabilities, including Dolby Atmos and 5.1.4 mixing, enabling broadcasters to deliver rich, multidimensional soundscapes for live sports, concerts, and premium entertainment content. For operators, the console sets a benchmark in intuitive control. Features like LiveView channel thumbnails, multi-layer workflows and flexible free-control sections ensure immediate access to essential parameters, even under the pressure of fast-paced productions. These features allow engineers to maintain focus on mixing rather than navigating menus, providing confidence in dynamic environments.

Sports productions benefit significantly from the mc²56 MkIII’s feature set and its integration of Lawo’s KICK automated mixing solution. KICK uses real-time camera tracking data to automatically follow the action on the field and optimize microphone mixing for precise, consistent and immersive sound. This not only enhances the viewer experience but also reduces the operator workload during high-intensity ball sports events, making it an essential tool for OB trucks and sports control rooms.

In addition to the mc²56 MkIII, Comcon will also spotlight Lawo’s HOME management platform for IP-based media infrastructures, HOME Apps for server-based processing on demand, and VSM, the industry-leading IP broadcast control and workflow solution for seamless, multi-vendor integration. Together, these solutions represent a comprehensive ecosystem that enables broadcasters to transition to IP workflows without compromise.

Gaurav Aggarwal, Director, Comcon Technologies Ltd. concludes, “We are proud to bring the Lawo mc²56 MkIII to Broadcast India for its first full-scale presentation in India. With its IP-native design, powerful A__UHD Core processing engine, immersive audio capabilities, and features like KICK for automated sports audio, this console provides everything needed for the next generation of broadcast production.”
