Kronehit in Austria has awarded a radio infrastructure modernization contract to console company Lawo and system integrator SLG Broadcast.
The firms finalized the deal with a handshake at the spring NAB Show.
Kronehit studios will be equipped with Lawo diamond audio mixing consoles, according to a press release. SLG Broadcast, Kronehit technical partner, will oversee system design, configuration and project implementation.
Kronehit has used SLG Broadcast since 2015 for various projects including the technical infrastructure of its broadcast center based on Lawo sapphire mixing consoles; an OB van equipped with a Lawo sapphire Compact; expansion of existing studios with additional I/O capacity; and enhancement of its audio platform with Power Core–based structures.
“Between 2018 and 2024, multiple migration and expansion phases supported the transition to IP‑based audio production. These included the integration of the Lawo A__UHD Core, the deployment of a Ravenna‑based audio‑over‑IP network, and the adaptation of the infrastructure to evolving production and distribution requirements.”
Kronehit now will deploy five Lawo diamond consoles, paired with five Power Core audio engines. The existing Lawo A__UHD Core will be expanded into a fully redundant setup, forming the central backbone of the audio production environment.
