Fully integrate Waves plug-ins into your professional live audio rig with this B&H Kit that provides one Waves eMotion LV1 Classic 64-Channel / 44 Bus Live Mixing Console and one Ionic 24 24-In /18-Out Soundgrid Stagebox. Both units feature Waves Signature preamps and the mixer offers live use of Waves plug-ins for processing your signals.
Building upon the proven quality LV1 mixer engine, the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic is the first fully integrated hardware mixer that delivers the preferred console and workflow of live sound engineers worldwide. The LV1 Classic packs the pristine-sounding sound engine into an ergonomic enclosure with a quick-access 21.5" multitouch screen and a powerful tactile control surface with 16+1 100mm Alps faders.
The mixer is capable of mixing up to 64 stereo channels with 44 stereo buses. Its double-precision 32-bit float mix engine works with sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. The rear panel includes 16 Waves Signature preamps and 12 analog line outputs + AES3 I/O for added flexibility. The system is scalable and can be expanded with more I/O, DSP, Dante, MADI, and additional physical fader banks and an external touchscreen.
Note: The LV1 requires a dedicated Ethernet cable from the host computer to the Wi-Fi router to use mobile apps on the same Wi-Fi network. Do NOT run the mobile apps network over the SoundGrid network. If the host computer does not have a second Ethernet port, use a USB-to-Ethernet (or other) adaptor.

Add 24 high-performance, Waves Signature mic preamps and 18 line outputs to your SoundGrid network with the Waves Ionic 24, a digital Soundgrid stagebox housed in a rugged 3 RU rack-mountable chassis. With a secure etherCON port designed for simple hookup to an eMotion LV1 live mixer or any other SoundGrid-compatible hardware/software, the Ionic 24 integrates easily into your stage- or studio-based setup. Its redundant PSU external input enables the stagebox to continue working, even if power to primary power supply fails.
Ionic 24 provides 24 channels of mic/line input on XLR-1/4" combo connectors and 18 line-level outputs on XLR connectors. There is also an XLR AES3 input connector and two XLR AES3 output connectors, and two 1/4" headphone jacks. Most I/O connections are on the front panel. The stagebox features Waves Signature Preamps: fast response, maximum headroom, up to 60 dB of gain, 48V phantom power, and fully discrete analog circuits. A switchable HMX harmonic enhancer adds analog warmth and harmonics without compromising punch or clarity. Preamp impedance is selectable between 2 and 7 kilohms.
- The key to Ionic 24’s professional audio quality are the Waves Signature Preamps: fully discrete, high-end analog circuits, designed to handle any signal you throw at them with full confidence.
- The gain structure is meticulously designed to deliver a wide dynamic range and handle hotter signals, with practically no restraints. The result is plenty of headroom, transients that do not clip, and an extremely low noise floor, for a clean, punchy sound.
- Waves Signature preamps deliver a rich, full-bodied warm sound usually found only in high-end mixing consoles, without compromising any of the clarity, using analog-modeled HMX harmonic enhancer technology.
- The HMX harmonic enhancer can also be turned on or off per input, with ‘off’ providing a more neutral sound.
- The preamp section’s analog-impedance selector allows you to tailor the sound of your mic. Choose between a classic 2 kilohms and a modern 7 kilohms, for greater sonic flexibility.
- Whether you are powering stage wedges that compete with the drummer, a full rack of in-ears transmitters, or a PA system of any size or quality, Ionic’s 18 powerful outputs and two independent headphones outs deliver a crystal-clear signal with plenty of headroom.
- Ionic 24 provides seamless connectivity to any eMotion LV1 system, ensuring quick and easy setup without wasting time on manual configurations. The stagebox’s control panel is available in the LV1’s device rack, letting you control various parameters in your preamps and outputs directly from the mixer, without complicated setup.
