Ruby Mixing Console
Radio never looked so good. Meet Ruby.
Intuitive. Uncluttered. Powerful — yet so refined. Ruby is Lawo's AES67-native radio mixing console, designed and built in Rastatt, Germany. With context-sensitive controls and color-programmable visual cues, Ruby puts exactly what you need at your fingertips — and nothing you don't.
Simply striking
When you're live, there's no time to search for the right control. Ruby's sleek, uncluttered surface stands just 5 cm (2 inches) tall from the bottom of its side frames to the tops of its rotary selectors — one of the slimmest profiles in broadcast. Every control is context-sensitive, adapting to the channel and task at hand so the operator stays focused on the show.
Built for AoIP
Native AES67 networking means Ruby integrates directly into standards-based AoIP infrastructures. No proprietary bridges, no awkward workarounds — just clean, routable audio across your facility. Ruby works hand-in-glove with Lawo's Power Core audio node and VisTool virtual studio environment for a complete, networked radio studio.
Smart mixing with AutoMix
Ruby includes Lawo's DSP-based AutoMix system — a hands-free automatic mixing algorithm that rides gain across selected sources with assignable priority weighting. Host mics can duck guest mics, phone callers, and remote contributors smoothly and virtually unnoticeably, freeing operators to manage the whole program rather than chasing faders.

Explore the Ruby ecosystem
Ruby's streamlined design philosophy extends beyond its physical profile into every interaction a broadcaster makes during a live show. The console's AES67-native architecture integrates seamlessly with modern IP-based studio infrastructures, allowing engineers to route audio with unprecedented flexibility while keeping the operator experience clean and focused. Color-programmable visual cues turn complex signal flows into instantly readable information, so a presenter or producer can identify active paths, assigned sources, and active processing at a glance. This emphasis on clarity reduces training time and minimizes the risk of on-air errors, which matters most when every second counts. Built in Germany, Ruby represents Lawo's commitment to marrying precision engineering with genuine usability, giving radio professionals a surface that feels as natural as it looks sophisticated.
