Step Up to the Next Level of Live Sound
Bring pristine, industry-acclaimed sound quality to any show, venue, or streaming event. With 32 stereo channels of unbeatable audio, full Waves plugin integration, and a customizable design to accommodate your personal workflow, eMotion LV1 addresses any live sound challenge.
Seamless integration with Waves’ 200+ plugins brings the award-winning signal processors used in studios around the world to live sound—for unlimited creative possibilities, and precision control.
Pristine Sound, Maximum Dynamics
LV1’s signature Waves Double-Precision, 32-bit floating point mixing engine delivers supreme sound quality, exceptional dynamic range, and the headroom that’s vital for live sound—at sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz.
Mix with Creative Freedom
LV1 offers total integration with the same award-winning, cutting-edge Waves plugins that power GRAMMY®-winning studio projects. Mix live as creatively as in the studio, with 200+ optional plugins for all production styles—up to 8 plugins hosted directly on each LV1 channel.
Precision Problem-Solving
Handle live sound challenges easily with industry-leading tools for feedback elimination, stage mic bleed control, dynamic EQ, multiple mic auto-mixing, de-essing, voice and bass gain riders, and much more.
Waves eMo Channel Strips Plugins—Designed for the Stage
Waves eMo plugins for EQ, filters, and dynamics create the ideal channel strip—with transparent sound, zero latency, and a user interface designed specifically for the uncompromising needs of live performance.
Tactile Fader and Touch Control Options
Mix with optimized multi-touch response, and/or use up to two Waves FIT controllers for tactile control, for a total of 32+2 motorized faders, multi-function rotary controls, layer switches, assignable keys, tap tempo, auto-mapped plugin parameters, and more.
Prepare for the Show, Anytime, Anywhere
With a SoundGrid-compatible audio interface and server, you can mix audio in your hotel room on a system that fits in a backpack—then expand the same system at the live venue with more I/O, servers, and interfaces. Or use the free eMotion LV1 Session Editor to configure your session’s parameters without audio, using any laptop or desktop without need for an I/O or server.
Build a Super System
Connect multiple eMotion LV1 mixers to the same network switch, and share any I/O devices—stageboxes, DAWs, computer drivers—as well as tracks, synths, etc. among multiple LV1 systems. No signal splitting required: LV1s can send your sources from the stage to multiple destinations simultaneously, with separate gain control for each engineer.
Remote Control Apps and Personal Monitor Mixing
The eMotion LV1 mixer includes apps to control a variety of tasks remotely. MixMirror 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 provides up to 10 performers mobile control over their own monitor mixes.
