Concert de Paris 2026 showcases Lawo IP audio system

The 2026 Concert de Paris, held on the Champ de Mars for France’s Bastille Day celebrations, featured the Orchestre National de France, the Radio France Choir and soloists under the baton of conductor Daniel Harding. Radio France deployed a fully redundant Lawo audio‑over‑IP infrastructure, centering on three mc²56 production consoles linked to a pair of A__UHD Core audio engines via a RAVENNA network and managed by a HOME device‑management cluster.

Live‑sound mixing was performed by head of sound Christophe Lukaszewski using two 48‑fader mc²56 consoles at front‑of‑house, with additional consoles on stage for monitor mixes. The event marked the first use of Lawo’s Dynamic EQ functionality. The concert was broadcast live on France 2, France Inter and the Eurovision/Euroradio networks, reaching audiences in more than 70 countries and attracting millions of viewers and listeners worldwide.
