WAVES eMotion LV1 Bundle 2 — Mixer

Best for

Touring front-of-house and monitor engineers, houses of worship, and broadcast facilities that need a complete 64-channel plugin-based live mixing system with 64 remote digitally controlled preamps: the retailer describes it as built for touring professionals, houses of worship, and broadcast environments, and the LV1 engine supports FOH, monitor, broadcast, and recording workflows at 44.1-96 kHz with eight plugin inserts per channel.

Who should skip

Anyone who wants a traditional all-in-one hardware console: the LV1 mixer itself is software running on the included Axis Scope computer, with the FIT surface providing only 17 motorized faders of tactile control. Small-format users are also over-served — Waves offers 16- and 32-channel LV1 configurations, and this system's two 4U stageboxes plus server, computer, and controller represent a full rack of touring hardware. Buyers who want Waves' newer integrated LV1 Classic console (built-in 21.5-inch touchscreen and preamps) are looking at a different product.

Watchouts

"Bundle 2" is verified retail listing's own bundle name, not a Waves catalog SKU — the listed contents (LV1 64-channel mixer, FIT, Extreme Server-C, 2x StageGrid 4000, Axis Scope) resemble Waves' 64-channel system bundles sold elsewhere, but those bundles (e.g., FrontEndAudio's 'LV1 64 System') include an Axis One computer plus a network switch, CAT6 cables, and a rack shelf, none of which Economik's description mentions; confirm exact accessories with the retailer before purchase. Axis Scope CPU/RAM specs here come from a retailer listing (Intel i5-10600, 16 GB), not a Waves-published datasheet. The Waves LV1 user guide describes the bus architecture as up to 8 stereo groups, 16 stereo auxes, L/R/C/M mains, and an 8 stereo matrix, while some retailer pages summarize it as '44 mix busses' — figures may reflect different software versions. Waves has since repositioned its LV1 line around the LV1 Classic hardware console, and the Economik listing was indexed as unavailable in mid-2026, so availability should be verified.
