Lawo Provides Audio Infrastructure for Concert de Paris 2026

Radio France used Lawo’s IP‑based audio processing system to produce the Concert de Paris 2026, held on 13 July at the Champ de Mars beneath the Eiffel Tower. The event featured the Orchestre National de France, the Radio France choir and soloists under conductor Daniel Harding and was broadcast live on France 2, France Inter and via Eurovision and Euroradio to more than 70 countries.

Three Lawo mc² 56 production consoles, a redundant pair of A__UHD‑Core audio engines and a RAVENNA network formed a fully redundant AoIP infrastructure managed by a centralized HOME cluster. Audio teams led by Christophe Lukaszewski, Stéphane Thouvenin, Nadège Antonini and Benoît Gaspard mixed the public‑address, orchestra and international feeds, while stage monitoring was handled by Tahar Boukhlifa and Charles Bouticourt.

The concert marked the first use of Lawo’s new Dynamic‑EQ feature, adding three dynamic bands per channel to the console’s EQ module, enhancing tonal precision for this high‑profile live‑sound production.
