    Pristine Sound, Maximum Dynamics

    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

    Waves eMo Channel Strips Plugins—Designed for the Stage

  • 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.

    Tactile Fader and Touch Control Options

  • 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.

    Prepare for the Show, Anytime, Anywhere

  • 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.

    Build a Super System

  • Remote Control Apps and Personal Monitor Mixing

    The eMotion LV1 mixer includes apps to control a variety of tasks remotely. 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 provides up to 10 performers mobile control over their own monitor mixes.

    Personal Monitor Mixing and Remote Control Apps

  • Upgrade to Immersive In-Ear Mixing

    Bring clarity and comfort to in-ear monitors: eMo IEM is a paid software upgrade to eMotion LV1, offering immersive 360-degree panning for in-ear mixing. No external hardware required: simply set the LV1’s monitor output to immersive, and your performers will receive immersive monitor sound in their in-ears.
