Powered by Lawo\u2019s mc\u00b2 production consoles, A__UHD Core audio engines, RAVENNA networking, and HOME management platform, the production delivered sound for audiences on-site and across more than 70 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its 14th edition, Concert de Paris has established itself as one of the most-watched classical music events in the world. Held on July 13 this year, the concert was broadcast live on France 2, France Inter, and via the Eurovision and Euroradio networks. Ahead of the main event, the Ma\u00eetrise de Radio France, Radio France\u2019s young vocal ensemble, marked its 80th anniversary with a dedicated opening set.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.smartbrief.com\/MIX?campaign=2b6b9bae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u2022 Discover more great stories\u2014get a free Mix\u00a0SmartBrief subscription!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To meet the requirements of simultaneous live-sound reinforcement, stage monitoring, and international broadcast production, Radio France deployed a fully redundant Lawo AoIP infrastructure. The system centered on three mc\u00b256 production consoles connected to a redundant pair of A__UHD Core audio engines via a redundant RAVENNA network. A centralized HOME cluster provided system-wide device management, connection control, security, and operational monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>Radio France\u2019s live sound team, led by Christophe Lukaszewski, tackled the live sound mix using two Lawo 48-fader mc\u00b256 consoles at front-of-house. While St\u00e9phane Thouvenin handled soloists and choirs, Nad\u00e8ge Antonini mixed the orchestra and managed P.A. outputs under the guidance of Beno\u00eet Gaspard. On stage, Tahar Boukhlifa and Charles Bouticourt, coordinated by Cyprien Matheux, worked from a dual-operator mc\u00b256 setup, providing monitor mixes and communication with performers throughout the evening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixonline.com\/recording\/music-production\/robert-margouleff-recording-stevie-wonder-living-for-the-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u2022 Robert Margouleff on Recording Stevie Wonder\u2019s \u201cLiving for the City\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Broadcast audio production was handled from Radio France\u2019s OB facilities using a Lawo mc\u00b266 MkII console.
