When larger shows require more inputs and buses, eMotion LV1 80-Channel Expansion grows the system to 80 stereo channels and 52 buses.
Mix bigger shows than ever with LV1: With the eMotion LV1 80-Channel Expansion option, LV1 can grow from 64 to 80 stereo channels (up to 160 inputs) and from 44 to 52 buses. The extra 8 buses can be used flexibly: either as groups, for a total of 16 audio groups, or as auxes, for a total of 24 monitor auxes. This optional software upgrade is available to owners of LV1 Classic or LV1 64-ch. licenses (v16).
eMotion LV1 Classic boasts a double-precision 32-bit float mix engine that delivers unmatched clarity and headroom at 44.1-96 kHz. Renowned in the live sound industry, the proprietary LV1 mix engine leverages Waves' Tech Grammy-winning expertise in digital signal processing to deliver industry-leading sound quality.
LV1 Classic's 16 inputs are powered by original-design, digitally controlled Waves Signature Preamps. With fully discrete analog circuits, these pristine preamps deliver maximum clarity and headroom, an incredibly low noise floor, and lightning-fast transient response. The added HMX feature allows you to choose between pure transparent preamp sound and rich harmonic enhancement per input.
In addition to the 16 Waves Signature Preamp inputs, the back of the console includes 12 line outputs, 1 AES3 SRC in, 2 AES3 out, 4 SoundGrid ports (2 Ethercon + 2 Rj45), a Hi-power H/P output with 1/4" jack + minijack, HDMI / 8 USBs / remote network, a 12v XLR4 lamp option, and dual power supply for redundancy.
With a large 21.5" multi-touch screen, a carefully designed tactile surface with 17 100 mm faders, and smart software/hardware design that ensures quick access to essential mixer functions and user-defined actions, eMotion LV1 Classic is built for efficiency and speed in live sound scenarios.
LV1 Classic's all-new tactile control surface is built for comfort and speed. The 17 newly designed motorized faders are designed for an organic feel, with optimal resistance to ensure both reliability and responsiveness. 17 multi-purpose encoders allow extensive customization of important mixer functions and user-defined actions, including mapped plugin control. Integrated LCD metering per channel provides extra instant visual feedback.
Control eMotion LV1 Classic from anywhere in the house: MixTwin gives you full remote control over your mixer & plugin settings from an iPad by mirroring the LV1 screen. MyFOH offers independent iPad control of the mixer levels, panning and sends from anywhere in the venue. MyMon gives performers mobile control over their own monitor mixes.
16 industry-favorite Waves processors come built into LV1 Classic, with processing handled by the console's internal powerful DSP engine. Processors include F6 Dynamic EQ; Waves Tune Real-Time for live vocal tuning; X-FDBK and PSE for feedback and mic bleed control; the eMO D5, Q4 and F2 channel strip plugins covering dynamics, EQ and filtering; GEQ 30-band EQ; R-Comp; Magma Tube Channel Strip; H-Delay, R-Verb, TrueVerb, Doubler, and GTR3 for effects; and R-Bass for low end control.
Some digital mixers limit you to a pre-defined channel strip for processing. In LV1 Classic processors can be chained flexibly, on any channel, via the 8-slot processing rack per channel. All processors are available for use on all input channels and on all other mix channels-that is, directly on any channel or group/bus-for maximum control of your sound.
The processing included in eMotion LV1 Classic is already powerful. But if you want yet more power, you can reach even deeper. Waves processors are staples in both studio production and live sound-and you can upgrade to your choice of over 160 live-optimized plugins, individually or in convenient Live Sound Bundles. Upgrades range from analog models of SSL, API and Abbey Road processors, to classic compression like CLA-2A and CLA-76, to Dugan auto-mixing.
Bring clarity, openness and comfort to in-ear monitors: The eMo IEM plugin is a software-only upgrade to LV1 consoles, turning your LV1 monitor outputs to immersive at the click of a button. No external hardware is required-simply set any of the LV1's monitor outputs to IEM, and your performers will receive monitor sound in their in-ears, via the Waves MyMon remote control app for LV1.
Powered by the same Waves Signature Preamps as LV1 Classic's own inputs, Waves IONIC stageboxes boast the same superior sound, with maximum headroom, exquisite dynamics, and an incredibly low noise floor. With IONIC 24 and IONIC 16, your LV1 Classic gets the pristine-sounding stageboxes it deserves.
Easily expand as your needs grow: eMotion LV1 Classic is built for easy expansion. Add more I/O with Waves IONIC stageboxes; more DSP if needed, with up to 3 additional SoundGrid servers (plus 4 more for backup); Dante and MADI expansions; an external touch screen; or more tactile fader banks. Easily network multiple LV1 Classic consoles at different mix positions (FOH, monitors, broadcast), with easy I/O sharing and real-time gain tracking.
LV1 Classic's immense power is packed into a compact form factor, for easy travel and convenient placement at any venue: only 15.8 x 22.1 x 22" (402 x 561 x 560 mm). Lightweight at just 38 lbs. (17.2 kg), it can be checked in on regular commercial flights, given appropriate casing.
LV1 Classic comes with 64 stereo channels (128 inputs) and 44 buses out of the box, and can be expanded to 80 stereo channels (160 inputs) and 52 buses with the optional 80-channel Expansion:
| LV1 64-Ch (No Expansion) | LV1 80-Ch (With Expansion) | |
|---|---|---|
| Channels (mono/stereo) | 64 | 80 |
| Inputs (maximum, if all mono) | 128 | 160 |
| Buses | 44 | 52 |
| Auxes (stereo/mono): Total | 24 | 32 (8 are flexible: Monitor Auxes or Audio Groups) |
| Monitor Auxes | 16 | 16 or 24 |
| Audio Groups | 8 | 8 or 16 |
| FX Auxes | 8 | 8 |
| Master Channels | L/R/C/Mono | L/R/C/Mono |
| Matrices (Stereo/Mono) | 8 | 8 |

This is a straightforward small/medium venue setup, where the FOH engineer handles both the PA mix and Monitor sends. IONIC stageboxes complete the IO on stage with two cable runs.
In this example, a medium event or venue requires 48 Inputs on stage. A single eMotion LV1 Classic console is utilized with optional additions: a secondary touchscreen for more control, and a Titan DSP server for extra plugin processing.
In this setup, three eMotion LV1 Classic consoles are deployed at FOH, on stage, and in a broadcast room, to provide complete coverage for an event being performed at the venue but also streamed or broadcasted live.
Alongside the eMotion LV1 Classic console, LV1 systems can also be configured in a modular fashion. In such modular systems, the LV1 mixer software runs on a dedicated computer that connects to several components for I/O and DSP processing, using the Waves SoundGrid network.
Expansion paths for LV1 systems across channel count, stage I/O, DSP load, control surfaces, network interfaces, plugins and monitoring.
Expand from 64 to 80 channels for larger input counts and bus structures.
Choose SoundGrid I/O by stage input count, installation location and cabling needs.
