Waves Audio eMotion LV1 Digital Mixing Console Ushers In New Era Of Live Sound Mixing

Waves have branched out in an interest direction with a new multi-touch digital mixer for broadcast and live sound mixing. It comes with 4 eMo plugins and is based on SoundGrid technology.  

Here's what Waves Audio tell us about the new eMotion LV1 digital mixing console:

The eMotion LV1 mixer is available in three configurations: 64, 32 or 16 stereo channels. eMotion LV1 includes four Waves eMo plugins: eMo D5 Dynamics (Gate, Compressor, DeEsser, Limiter, Leveler), eMo F2 Filter, eMo Q4 Equalizer, and eMo Generator. For online operation, eMotion LV1 must be connected to a SoundGrid interface and a SoundGrid server.

eMotion LV1 is a revolutionary digital mixing console for front-of-house, monitor and broadcast engineers. Based on Waves SoundGrid technology, this software mixer delivers the superior sound quality for which Waves is renowned, as well as the quick and convenient workflow needed in demanding live environments.

Limitless Control over Your Live Sound

eMotion LV1 gives you unprecedented control over every aspect of your live sound. Each of the mixer’s channels has its own plugin rack capable of running up to eight Waves and third-party plugins. This means you can mix live with hundreds of your favorite plugins—all running inside the mixer itself. All plugin presets and chains saved in eMotion LV1 can be shared with the Waves MultiRack and StudioRack plugin hosts, enabling you to move seamlessly between live and studio environments.

LV1 Channel Strip – Waves eMo Plugins

The mixer’s channel strip—its standard EQ, filters and dynamics processing—is provided by Waves eMo plugins: eMo D5 Dynamics, eMo F2 Filter and eMo Q4 Equalizer. All three are designed for maximum clarity and efficiency in a live environment. All three are included with the eMotion LV1 mixer.

Intuitive Workflow, Diverse Control

You can control eMotion LV1 using industry-standard hardware controllers, multi-touch screens and diverse portable devices, ranging from four touchscreens to a single laptop or tablet. No matter which device you are using, eMotion LV1 has the same intuitive workflow, with a user interface built for flexibility and speed.
