How to resolve AdBlock issue? First S12T OB Van for Rwanda Broadcasting Agency features Lawo mc²56 console
The first S12T Streamline OB van for the African continent has been successfully delivered to Rwanda Broadcasting Agency (RBA). Built and outfitted by Broadcast Solutions in Germany in a mere three months, the Streamline S12T is a truck/box body combination with one extension for up to 14 workplaces. Accommodating up to 12 cameras, which is unique in this segment, it also features the first Lawo mc²56 MkIII console for the African continent.
Arthur Asiimwe, Director General at Rwanda Broadcasting Agency, on the rationale behind RBA’s order: “We were looking for a flexible OB truck that is easy to deploy and to operate. The vehicle’s fast delivery time and perfect price-performance ratio were further decisive criteria for contracting Broadcast Solutions with the production and delivery.”
At the heart of the vehicle’s audio section, Broadcast Solutions installed a Lawo mc²56 console with 32 channel strips and a Lawo Nova73 compact core router to provide a flexible user interface with a host of control options right at the audio engineer’s sweet spot. The mc²56’s pristine audio quality and full support of the open RAVENNA/AES67 and ST2110 standards were additional arguments to select the mc²56.
Ralf Schimmel, Lawo’s Sales Director for the African continent, commented: “Lawo is delighted with RBA’s choice of an S12T truck and the decision to equip it with an mc²56 console alongside other top-spec gear. With well over 1,200 models sold, Lawo’s mc² series has been a staple for OB trucks built in Europe and used the world over - and now Africa is following suit. That this should be in Rwanda, which has been avidly adopting technological evolution, comes as no surprise.”
