East Africa (August 27, 2026)—AZAM TV in East Africa has upgraded the audio infrastructure of one of its OB vehicles with an integrated Lawo IP ecosystem.
The vehicle’s new capabilities are powered by HOME, Lawo’s management platform for IP-based broadcast environments. The upgrade establishes a connected audio ecosystem in which every element works as part of a unified whole.

The new installation combines a 32-fader Lawo mc²36 MkII production console with A__stage80 and A__stage48 stageboxes, an A__digital64 Audio-over-IP gateway, and HOME-enabled control and management. Together, these components form a production environment in which signal acquisition, routing, processing and control become part of a single, streamlined workflow.
Audio enters the system through Lawo’s A__stage80 and A__stage48 stageboxes, positioned wherever signals originate. Microphones, commentary units and other sources are converted directly into IP streams and made available across the network.

All signals converge at the mc²36 MkII. Acting as the creative and operational center of the truck, the console gives operators access to all networked resources. Complementing the IP workflow, the A__digital64 gateway integrates AES3-based devices into the network.
The project was realized with German systems integrator Broadcast Solutions, a European broadcast technology integration specialist.
