Ruby is a slim mixing surface — about 5 cm tall from its side frames to the tops of its rotary selectors — with context-sensitive controls, color-programmable visual cues, and native AES67 networking. It's paired with AutoMix, Lawo's DSP-based automatic mixing system that rides gain across sources with assignable priority weighting. For recurring weekly news programs, Ruby’s snapshot feature streamlines the entire production workflow. Using Ruby Snapshots For Recurring Weekly News Shows
