Waves IONIC 16 Stagebox
The Waves IONIC 16 is a 16-in / 12-out SoundGrid stagebox in a 2U rack chassis, built as an I/O expansion for the eMotion LV1 live mixer. It uses the same Waves Signature Preamps as the LV1 Classic, with switchable HMX harmonic enhancement and selectable input impedance. It connects over etherCON and also works as a SoundGrid audio interface with Mac or PC drivers.
Features
- 16 mic/line inputs on XLR/TRS combo connectors with Waves Signature Preamps
- 12 XLR line outputs, switchable between +18 dBu and +24 dBu maximum level
- Stereo AES3 input and output, plus two independent headphone outputs
- HMX harmonic enhancer, 48 V phantom power and 2 kΩ / 7 kΩ impedance, per input
- etherCON SoundGrid connection up to 100 meters from the switch; Mac and PC driver support
- Mains power plus optional 24 VDC external supply for auto-switching redundancy
Applications
For stage or FOH I/O in eMotion LV1 systems: Waves examples use it next to an IONIC 24 on stage, or as local I/O at FOH in modular LV1 rigs. Its outputs can feed stage wedges, in-ear transmitters or the PA.
