The Lawo commentary unit is designed to be easy-to-use for commentators, letting them focus on their task and not on the technology. It provides an intuitive user interface for up to three commentators, allowing them to set up individual headset mixes. Turning the source’s rotary controls changes the volume, while push-and-turning changes the pan setting. Any activity is indicated in the backlit LCD, showing the control’s label and its current setting. The unit also features three coordination lines, again with individual volume and pan settings. A “Help” key completes the user interface, giving commentators easy access to a support engineer. All settings including gain can be configured remotely from the LCC software. For emergency operation the device provides an analog Mix Out and an analog input to feed the phones’ monitor mix. The Aux In can also be used to feed external sources like audio recorders locally into the LCU.
