WavesIONIC 24 Digital Stage Box

Waves' IONIC 24 is a cutting-edge digital stage box that delivers uncompromising sound quality for live performances. This ensures your vocals, instruments and drum kit cut through the mix with unparalleled punch and clarity. With its 24 studio-grade mic preamps featuring discrete analog circuitry and selectable harmonic enhancement, you can capture every nuance of your performance with rich analog warmth. Capture Every Detail At the heart of the IONIC 24 are Waves' proprietary Signature Preamps—meticulously designed discrete analog circuits that provide maximum headroom, lightning-fast transient response and an incredibly low noise floor. You'll experience superior signal integrity as the preamps effortlessly handle hot inputs from close-miked sources like vocals and drums without clipping. The result is a clean, punchy sound that preserves all the dynamics and detail of your performance. Dial in Rich Analog Warmth While the Signature Preamps deliver pristine transparency when needed, you can also dial in timeless analog warmth and harmonics thanks to the HMX harmonic enhancement circuit. Inspired by high-end mixing consoles, this analog-modeled enhancement enriches your sources with a full-bodied, dimensional character—adding just the right amount of saturation and grit without compromising clarity. You have the flexibility to enable it per input, letting you shape your tone with precision. Versatile Live Sound Reinforcement With 24 inputs and 18 crystal-clear line outputs, the IONIC 24 acts as a versatile stagebox for live sound reinforcement. You can easily patch in a full drum kit, multiple guitars, keyboards and vocals to power stage wedges and front-of-house speakers. Selectable output levels, stereo AES connectivity and dual headphone outputs provide the I/O you need to build a complete live rig that sounds phenomenal. Seamless Integration With eMotion LV1 The IONIC 24 integrates seamlessly with Waves' eMotion LV1 live mixing console, complementing the LV1's exceptional sonic performance while ensuring quick and easy setup for shows. Its road-ready 3U chassis with rugged steel construction is built to withstand the rigors of the road.
