The Waves eMotion LV1 16 Stereo Channels is a powerful digital mixing solution tailored for front-of-house, broadcast, and monitor engineers working in live sound environments. Built on the low-latency SoundGrid platform, this software mixer offers pristine 32-bit floating-point audio processing at up to 96 kHz with as little as 0.8 ms of latency. Its modular architecture lets you build a portable or stationary rig using compatible SoundGrid I/O devices and servers, making it ideal for both mobile and fixed installations.
With 16 stereo or mono input channels, eight aux sends, and support for up to eight plug-ins per channel, the LV1 mixer gives engineers precise control over every aspect of their mix. The software includes Waves' eMo series plug-ins (D5 Dynamics, F2 Filter, Generator, and Q4 Equalizer) and provides features such as DCA groups, mute groups, scene recall, touch control with up to four multitouch screens, and intuitive routing. It also supports both Waves and third-party SoundGrid plug-ins, and integrates easily with MIDI and iPad control for a customizable and scalable live mixing experience.
