Whether at front-of-house, monitors or broadcast, the LV1 Classic packs studio-level capabilities into a compact, travel-ready design. Pristine Sound With the LV1 Mix Engine At the heart of the LV1 Classic is its double-precision 32-bit float mix engine, delivering unparalleled clarity and headroom at sample rates up to 96kHz. Built upon Waves' award-winning expertise in digital signal processing, the LV1 engine ensures every nuance of your live mix is captured with incredible precision. Powered by Waves Signature Preamps, each input provides exceptional clarity, ultralow noise, and fast transient response. The HMX harmonic enhancement feature lets you toggle between pure transparency or rich, warm coloration for maximum sonic flexibility. Unmatched Processing for Live Sound The LV1 Classic features the most comprehensive processing tools in the live sound industry, with 16 Waves processors included and support for over 160 plugin upgrades. Each channel features an 8-slot processing rack, enabling users to chain plugins flexibly and apply studio-quality effects directly to any input, bus, or group. Tools like F6 Dynamic EQ, H-Delay, R-Verb and X-FDBK provide creative options and precise problem-solving, while Waves Tune Real-Time ensures seamless vocal pitch correction during live performances. Intuitive Workflow and Control Designed for speed and efficiency, the LV1 Classic features a 21.5" multi-touch screen and 17 motorized faders, giving engineers fast, tactile access to essential mixer functions. Two independent mixer windows allow you to monitor different groups or settings simultaneously, whether you're adjusting preamps, panning, EQs, or aux sends. With customizable fader layouts, mixer modes and user-defined functions, LV1 Classic ensures that everything you need is at your fingertips for smooth, stress-free operation in live environments. Scalable and Expandable for Any Setup Built for scalability, the LV1 Classic integrates seamlessly with Waves' IONIC stageboxes, adding premium I/O capabilities with the same pristine sound as the console's preamps. Easily expand your setup with additional analog-to-digital converters or network multiple consoles for FOH, monitor and broadcast positions. With SoundGrid audio networking, sharing I/O and real-time gain tracking is a breeze. The console's compatibility with Dante and MADI devices further extends its integration into complex, multi-platform systems. Portable, Powerful, and Ready for the Road The LV1 Classic offers maximum portability for live sound engineers on the move. Its lightweight build makes it ideal for tight spaces and fly dates, while its durable construction ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. Supporting up to 128 channels of recording/playback and featuring stereo USB playback, the LV1 Classic streamlines live recording workflows.
