Description
The Waves CMBAXISLV64 64-Channel Mixer with Axis One Custom Computer delivers the powerful core of a world-class live mixing system designed for large, professional environments such as concert venues, clubs, theaters, and houses of worship. At its heart is the eMotion LV1 live mixer software, offering 64 mono/stereo input channels, a 32-bit floating-point mix engine, sample rates up to 96 kHz, and ultra-low latency performance down to 0.8 ms. Built on the SoundGrid audio networking platform, it provides an intuitive, fast workflow with extensive routing, auxes, groups, matrices, scenes, and deep plug-in integration for demanding live sound applications.
The system is powered by the Waves Axis One custom-designed computer, purpose-built and rigorously tested to run Waves audio applications with maximum stability. Housed in a rugged rack-mountable chassis, Axis One features a six-core Intel i5 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a fast 256 GB SSD, ensuring smooth performance even in high-pressure live scenarios. With support for up to three displays and extensive USB, Ethernet, and SoundGrid connectivity, it serves as the central control hub for front-of-house, monitor, broadcast, or studio environments.
Completing the core system is a SoundGrid-approved Netgear 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and all required network cabling, providing reliable, low-latency connectivity between system components. The package also includes essential Waves eMo plug-ins for dynamics, filtering, tone shaping, and signal generation, enabling professional signal control straight out of the box. Together, these elements form a scalable, powerful, and flexible live mixing foundation capable of handling the most complex modern audio productions.
