Waves AIOCL eMotion LV1 Classic 64-Channel Live Mixer 16 Signature

The Waves AIOCL eMotion LV1 Classic features a double-precision 32-bit floating-point mix engine, delivering pristine clarity and extraordinary headroom at sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. Powered by Waves’ Grammy®-winning digital signal processing technology, the LV1 mix engine ensures industry-leading sound quality, making it a trusted solution for front-of-house, monitor, and broadcast applications.

Signature Preamps and Flexible Connectivity:

LV1 Classic’s 16 inputs are driven by Waves Signature Preamps, offering ultra-low noise, lightning-fast transient response, and selectable harmonic enhancement via HMX per channel. Connectivity is extensive: 12-line outputs, AES3 I/O, four SoundGrid ports, high-power headphone outputs, HDMI, USB ports, dual power supply for redundancy, and remote network access. This flexibility allows engineers to integrate the console into diverse live setups effortlessly.

Expandable Channels, Buses, and Processing:

The LV1 Classic can be expanded to 80 stereo channels (160 inputs) and 52 buses, including up to 24 monitor auxes or 16 audio groups. Its 21.5” multi-touch display, 17 motorized faders, and 17 multi-purpose encoders offer fast, intuitive control over every channel parameter. The internal DSP engine hosts 16 Waves processors per channel, including F6 Dynamic EQ, Tune Real-Time, X-FDBK, and eMo D5/Q4/F2, all available on any channel or bus, with further expansion to over 160 live-optimized plugins if desired.

Advanced Monitoring and Remote Control:

LV1 Classic supports immersive in-ear mixing with the eMo IEM plugin and remote control via Waves apps. MixTwin mirrors the LV1 interface on an iPad, MyFOH allows FOH control from anywhere in the venue, and MyMon gives performers personal control of their monitor mixes. These features ensure seamless communication and flexible workflows for live sound engineers and performers alike.

Compact, Portable, and Scalable:

Despite its immense power, LV1 Classic is compact and portable, measuring just 15.8 × 22.1 × 22” (402 × 561 × 560 mm) and weighing 38 lbs (17.2 kg), making it easy to transport and fly with. The console scales effortlessly with additional SoundGrid servers, I/O expansions, Dante/MADI integration, extra touchscreens, and more tactile fader banks. LV1 Classic combines unmatched sound quality, deep onboard processing, and intuitive tactile control into a versatile, travel-ready live mixing console.
