Waves Audio is displaying its eMotion LV1 Classic, mixing console for live production and broadcast workflows at this year’s NAB Show.
Recently selected as winner of the 41st Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Award for outstanding technical achievement in the Small Format Console Technology category, the mixer offers up to 80 stereo channels (160 inputs) and 52 buses with flexible routing for broadcast and live streaming environments. The LV1 Classic is well-suited for managing complex audio feeds from multiple sources – such as commentators, field audio, music beds and remote contributors.
The LV1 Classic functions as a compact, all-in-one broadcast mixing solution, combining the familiarity of a traditional console with the scalability and processing flexibility required for modern live-to-air, streaming and hybrid production environments.
The 32-bit floating-point mix engine, as well as its 16 inputs powered by the onboard Waves Signature Preamps, provide the headroom and precision needed for consistent on-air sound. Native integration with Waves plugins allows engineers to apply broadcast-ready processing, EQ, dynamics, noise reduction, and loudness control, directly within the console. This reduces the need for external processing racks and streamlines signal flow.
LV1 Classic’s seamless integration of Waves’ processing catalog makes it a powerful console in terms of processing capabilities. Each LV1 channel can be populated by the user’s processors of choice (up to 8 plugins per channel), without being ‘locked in’ to any particular channel-strip processing. This enables engineers to tailor the sound to the unique requirements of the specific production, without limitations. LV1 Classic includes 16 of Waves’ most powerful live sound processors, included as part of the console – including trusted tools for live pitch correction, dynamic EQ, feedback elimination, and much more. There is also the option of adding any of Waves’ 160 live-enabled processors.
LV1 Classic features 64 stereo channels (128 inputs) and 44 stereo buses and can expand to 80 stereo channels (160 inputs), 52 buses, 32 auxes (including up to 24 monitor aux sends), via an optional software expansion. The physical fader count can also be expanded via an optional control surface that doubles LV1 Classic’s fader count from 17 to 34.
With these updates and improvements, Waves’ LV1 is now “bigger, faster and more powerful than ever” It can be found at NAB booth 2722.
