WAVES AIOCL | Emotion Lv1 Classic Console W/ 64 Stereo Channels

eMotion LV1 Classic

64-Channel / 44 Bus Live Mixing Console

Building upon the proven quality LV1 mixer engine, the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic is the first fully integrated hardware mixer that delivers the preferred console and workflow of live sound engineers worldwide. The LV1 Classic packs the pristine-sounding sound engine into an ergonomic enclosure with a quick-access 21.5" multitouch screen and a powerful tactile control surface with 16+1 100mm Alps faders.

The mixer is capable of mixing up to 64 stereo channels with 44 stereo buses. Its double-precision 32-bit float mix engine works with sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. The rear panel includes 16 Waves Signature preamps and 12 analog line outputs + AES3 I/O for added flexibility. The system is scalable and can be expanded with more I/O, DSP, Dante, MADI, and additional physical fader banks and an external touchscreen.

Note: The LV1 requires a dedicated Ethernet cable from the host computer to the Wi-Fi router to use mobile apps on the same Wi-Fi network. Do NOT run the mobile apps network over the SoundGrid network. If the host computer does not have a second Ethernet port, use a USB-to-Ethernet (or other) adaptor.
