High End TV’s production truck hits the right notes with Lawo support

Symphony, a flagship mobile production truck from High End TV, a provider of mobile broadcast and recording services, has hit the road. Designed for high-end concert and event, as well as cinematic production, Symphony’s audio workflow is powered by a mc²56 MkIII console. 

High End TV specialises in producing live concerts, where premium sound quality and reliable performance are critical. The company’s previous audio console had reached its limits, prompting an extensive search for a solution that could meet growing production demands.

Lawo’s mc²56 MkIII quickly emerged as the ideal choice, as David Habegger, Lead Audio Engineer & System Integrator, High End TV, explained, “We needed a console that could handle high input counts, deliver pristine audio at 96kHz, and provide seamless integration with our existing infrastructure.

“Lawo not only met those criteria but exceeded our expectations with its workflow efficiency and networked audio capabilities.”

The mc²56 MkIII console, equipped with an Ultra HD (UHD) core, delivers up to 256 processing channels and full support for 96kHz operation. Its routing capabilities, IP integration, and redundant multi-track recording make it an invaluable asset for High End TV’s productions.

A major factor in choosing Lawo was the ability to integrate effortlessly with the rest of Symphony’s audio infrastructure. The truck is equipped with A-stage64 stageboxes and a Power Core Rev3 AP Gateway, ensuring high-quality analogue and Dante connectivity.

Beyond its audio performance, the mc²56 MkIII console was chosen for its build quality and durability, while its modular digital signal processing (DSP) allows engineers to reallocate processing resources as needed, ensuring that the system can adapt to different production requirements.

Habegger concluded, “Every element of this truck was designed to be best-in-class, from cameras to lenses, from switchers to speakers. Lawo sits right at the heart of it all, giving us the audio performance we need to deliver flawless productions, every time.”
