Waves Audio is exhibiting its eMotion LV1 mixer, a live digital mixing console that provides real-time audio mixing for front-of-house, monitor and broadcast engineers at NAB 2018.

Based on Waves SoundGrid technology, this software mixer delivers the superior sound quality for which Waves is renowned, as well as the convenience and speed needed in demanding live environments.

Each of the mixer’s channels has its own plugin rack capable of running up to eight Waves and third-party plugins. This means you can mix live with hundreds of instances of your favorite plugins, all running inside the mixer itself. All plugin presets and chains saved in eMotion LV1 can be shared with the Waves MultiRack and StudioRack plugin hosts, allowing engineers to move seamlessly between live and studio environments.

The mixer’s channel strip – its standard EQ, filters and dynamics processing — is provided by Waves eMo plugins: eMo D5 Dynamics, eMo F2 Filter and eMo Q4 Equalizer.

eMotion LV1 comes in three configurations: 64, 32 or 16 stereo/mono input channels. The mixer can be controlled by hardware control surfaces and multi-touch devices, ranging from four touchscreens to a single laptop or tablet.

eMotion LV1 uses the SoundGrid infrastructure for audio networking. It can be configured as a portable or stationary setup, and can connect to any SoundGrid-compatible I/O or server. This means that live sound engineers can easily take their mixer with them and run it anytime, anywhere — at home, in a hotel room, on the tour bus, or at the live venue.

Features:
• Up to 64 stereo/mono input & 36 stereo buss/return channels
• Run 8 SoundGrid-compatible plugins directly on each channel
• Standard channel processing provided by Waves eMo plugins
• Up to 16 auxes, 8 audio groups (stereo/mono), L/R/C/Mono, 8 matrixes
• 16 DCA faders, 8 mute groups, 8 user-assignable function controls
• 32-bit floating point mix engine; up to 96 kHz sample rate
• Compatible with industry-standard control surfaces
• Connect to diverse SoundGrid I/Os & drivers and to multiple DAWs
• Windows/Mac 64 bit-compatible

Jünger Audio will launch its new audio processing platform on booth C3039 at the 2018 NAB Show, which is set to take place from 7 – 12 April.

The AIXpressor hardware unit acts as a base for software-defined products that are created using Jünger’s new Flexible Audio Infrastructure flexAI.

This means that by buying additional software licenses, broadcasters and post production facilities can customise the system to suit their demand for processing capabilities and channel count. flexAI enables software development on the go, and is equipped to simply cascade additional AIXpressors or servers, whenever more processing power or media interfaces become necessary.

Jünger says that all software products created using flexAI will be licensed flexibly, meaning users can easily incorporate additional functionality, increase their channel count or may even be allowed to shift licenses between devices.

At NAB 2018, AIXpressor will be released as the main basis for products utilising the new flexAI software infrastructure. The 19” 1RU device is based on x86 processors and equipped with a range of built-in interfaces, including redundant AoIP with full compatibility to AES67 and SMPTE ST2110, USB host and client interfaces as well as MADI, AES/EBU and analog I/Os. The unit also has four slots for optional interfaces, all of which are compatible with Jünger’s existing D*AP series of audio processors.

In conjunction with the new AIXpressor hardware, Jünger Audio has also developed a new optical connection called tieLight that can transmit up to 1152 audio channels in each direction. TieLight, which is said to have very low delay and compensated latency, is used for cascading multiple devices and for setting up larger systems that require several processors. It is an integral part of the AIXpressor and will be available as a PCIexpress interface card to be used in Jünger Audio’s upcoming line of servers.
