Waves Audio has introduced eMotion LV1 Control, a premium fader expansion for Waves LV1 live mixing consoles. Noam Raz, General Manager of Waves' Live Sound division, told us, "The LV1 Control expansion is another step in our vision of continually evolving the LV1. We are committed to having LV1 serve shows, venues and productions of diverse sizes, with diverse workflow and creative needs. This release affirms our dedication to the ongoing development and future growth of the LV1 platform."

Here's more details direct from Waves...

With LV1 Control, engineers can now easily expand their LV1 fader count. Connecting via a single USB cable, this deluxe control surface functions as a fader expansion for Waves LV1 Classic mixing consoles, and can also serve as a dedicated fader bank for modular LV1 systems.

Built on the trusted architecture of the LV1 Classic tactile surface, LV1 Control delivers premium hands-on mixing with 17 motorized 100mm faders, 17 encoders, and 17 mini-displays featuring per-channel LCD metering. Designed for ultimate flexibility, it also offers Touch-and-Turn mapping for on-screen parameters, Select/Mute/Solo toggles per channel, 8-layer keys, 8 utility keys, a tempo pad, and 16+2 user-defined keys--empowering engineers with unparalleled customization and control.

Waves continues to redefine live sound with the eMotion LV1 platform, a benchmark in flexibility and sonic excellence. Since its introduction, the LV1 Classic console has earned global acclaim among engineers and artists for its pristine audio quality and unmatched control in a compact, scalable solution. Its success reflects Waves' commitment to empowering professionals with tools that adapt to every stage and workflow.

Extending this commitment, Waves is continuously expanding the LV1 ecosystem to meet the growing demands of today's productions. The recent LV1 80-channel software upgrade enables LV1 users to handle larger, more complex shows without compromising speed or clarity. Now, with the current addition of the fader expansion, engineers gain more tactile control with enhanced ergonomics.
