B & I Engineering will demo the new sapphire digital audio mixing console from Lawo at the Mediatech Africa exhibition.
Described by Lawo as “a step ahead”, the sapphire mixing console for on-air and production applications combines the best of both worlds. The console not only incorporates proven cutting-edge technology but also features an eye-catching new design.
The advantage of sapphire is that while technicians will be convinced by the possibility of various upgrades, maximum flexibility and sophisticated functionality, broadcasters will be continually impressed by the modern control surface, which makes working with the new sapphire fun. In addition, the sapphire offers everything expected from a powerful mixing console: top quality, intuitive user guidance and clever solutions, all of which guarantee even greater working efficiency.
The sapphire delivers advanced networking features that allow for studio connectivity and studio arbitration in a remarkably seamless way. Logic states can be exchanged throughout the network, sources can be shared, and intercom functionality is included right into the system making an additional system unnecessary.
Individual requirements will determine which sapphire configuration is the right one for you. All that is needed to start broadcasting is a central module, a channel module and a couple of interfaces. However, the sapphire is also able to meet more demanding needs — with the addition of more channel modules, a sapphire can be transformed into a true production mixing console placing up to 60 motor faders at your finger tips. Or the extended channel strips or even the optional overbridge can be chosen to offer more ease of use and the best possible workflow in daily productions.
