Executive Quotes
"Despite its impressive specifications, Edge One is first and foremost about convenience and agility for broadcast and AV professionals," says Lucas Zwicker, Senior Director, Workflow and Integration, CTO Office, Lawo. "A single stagebox can be used to connect microphones, speakers, cameras, monitors, projectors and more."
"Most productions require a limited number of audio and video connections, and some applications can be handled more efficiently by placing compact stageboxes close to the sources and destinations in a distributed fashion," adds Christian Struck, Senior Product Manager, Audio Infrastructure, Lawo. "This is where Edge One shines."
