Description
The Waves IONIC 24 is the ultimate stagebox for live performances. Designed for clarity, punch, and flexibility, it delivers pristine audio quality across all inputs and outputs. Whether powering stage monitors, in-ear systems, or a full PA rig, IONIC 24 ensures your sound remains exceptional in any environment.
Unmatched Preamp Performance with Waves Signature Preamps
At the heart of IONIC 24 are the Waves Signature Preamps, fully discrete analog circuits engineered for high-end audio performance. With meticulously designed gain structure, these preamps provide wide dynamic range, ample headroom, and a low noise floor. Lightning-fast transient response ensures every detail of your performance is captured with precision.
Analog Warmth and Flexible Control
The HMX harmonic enhancer adds rich, analog-modeled warmth to each input, which can be enabled or bypassed per channel for ultimate tonal flexibility. The preamp section also features an impedance selector, letting you choose between classic 2 kΩ and modern 7 kΩ settings for tailored mic response. IONIC 24 empowers engineers to get the most out of every stage microphone.Seamless Integration with eMotion LV1
IONIC 24 works effortlessly with the eMotion LV1 live mixer, allowing control of preamps, outputs, and other parameters directly from the mixer’s device rack. Quick setup, intuitive workflow, and full remote control mean less time configuring gear and more time focusing on your mix, making IONIC 24 the perfect complement to the LV1 console.
