Waves Audio, a leading developer of professional audio signal processing technologies and maker of audio plugins for mixing, music production, mastering, sound design, broadcast, post-production and live sound, introduces the eMotion LV1 Proton 16-Channel Live Mixing System. This is Waves’ most affordable complete live mixing system, designed for 16-channel live setups.
“With the eMotion LV1 Proton 16-Channel Live Mixing System, it is now the time to completely change the way you think about your live mixing system,” states the Waves news release. “Never before has such a system been offered for an unprecedented cost of under $5K. Forget about heavy, cumbersome mixing boards. You can now switch to a lightweight digital system, with everything you need to deliver captivating live sound experiences at a cost-effective price, easy portability and a small footprint. Best of all: the eMotion LV1 Proton system gives you access to the world’s largest selection of audio plugins, which you can run directly inside your eMotion LV1 mixer, all for under $5000.”
This complete system includes the eMotion LV1 16-channel live software mixer, a SoundStudio STG-1608 SoundGrid-compatible stagebox, a SoundGrid Proton server, the Axis Proton Waves-optimized computer, a 24-inch Dell touchscreen, a 1U rack shelf, an 8-port network switch and network cables, plus three plugins specifically designed and optimized for live sound: eMo F2 Filter, eMo D5 Dynamics and eMo Q4 Equalizer.
The touch-optimized eMotion LV1 software mixer features 16 mono/stereo channels, each with a plugin rack that can host up to eight SoundGrid-compatible plugins for real-time processing. The included SoundStudio STG-1608 is a sturdy SoundGrid stage box, featuring 16 mic/line inputs with high-end preamps that can be controlled directly from the LV1 mixer.
All audio coming from the stage and through the plugins is processed on the included super-compact SoundGrid Proton server. Users can send processed audio out to the PA system and back to the stage via eight line outputs at speeds of 0.8 ms at 48 kHz.
For stability, the Axis Proton computer is optimized to handle eMotion LV1’s processing power and designed to perform reliably in challenging environments. It features an Intel Celeron processor, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, one HDMI port, one display port, three USB ports, and a rugged 1U half-rack chassis.
The combo comes with a 24-inch Dell touchscreen, an eight-port SoundGrid switch, CAT6 Ethernet cables, and a 1U rack shelf, designed for everything needed to run 16-channel live shows with studio-grade sound at a more affordable price.
