5 Reasons LV1 Classic Is the Perfect Mixing Console for Houses of Worship

[@bThomps]

This console will change the medium channel count digital mixing market. Such a great value. Easy to interface with other systems including Digico (Waves port included on many of them). Use your Digico system as is and then copy audio out to the Waves network for the LV1 Classic to mix from. Looking forward to using one of these soon!

[@NateJDrums]

I already put in a request for 2 (Live stream and FOH) as soon as I saw the first post!

[@BrianSimmons]

Waves is definitely going to get some traction with this device. At 8k, it is very well priced IMHO. I think the closest competitor is the A&H Avantis Solo which retails for nearly 11k with the DPack plugins (which get it close to the Waves offering, but are still lacking compared to the 16 plugins offered with the Waves LV1 Classic). That being said, the Waves stage boxes tend to be more expensive so the overall cost might be similar to other options depending on what I/O you actually need.

When did Tom Arnold start working for Waves?

[@apologiajosecarlos]

God bless. Great software console. Looking for donations to adquire Waves LV1 Classic.

[@SoMyungJung]

Hope there's a LV1 Rack version someday

[@jcabanaw]

LV1 has been "Lv1 Rack" from the beginning.

[@SoMyungJung]

@@jcabanaw "console in a rack" there you go

[@brybigdog]

LV1 is a software mixer. It just runs on a computer. This is just them putting it into a traditional package. You can get all the different pieces separately if you want.

[@fkmobile1]

Will you do the same in a all-in-one rack version?

[@kristophermurrell]

Our church audio team saw this. Immediately we’re excited, but then disappointed as there are only 64channels

[@AndrewRaia]

Barrier is going to be most churches (ok many) are in the x32/m32 eco-system and swapping to a board like this without any ultranet support will also require a completely new in ear system or some sort of analog conversion of outputs. Are there any other options?

[@jcabanaw]

A waves card in your x32. Use x32 for Mons, and LV1 for FOH

[@johnmcvicker6728]

Yes, for us, would a dual swap X32 FoH and X32R for IEM mixes. Then it requires at least a 32-in 16-out stage box which is what, 3500 or so? Just guessing on that. An Avantis Solo still only has 8 inputs so you need just as much stage-box ports added for that. Target market absolutely is the X/M32 user who wants to upgrade. My church is one of them - but honestly, I think we need to first hear such a console on our PA. It may not be worth doing anything until we have a modern PA. Ours does "ok" and we have three pretty full services on Sundays (800 or so regular attendees across 3).

[@AndrewRaia]

Ehhhh I don't want to run two systems in our small rooms. We really need an item audio standard.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

And this is now an even harder sell with the WING Compact for 2.4k and the WING Rack for 3.4k

[@johnmcvicker6728]

@@BrunodeSouzaLino i have seen prices lower than that in USA dollars. X32 ecosystems definitely now have more options. LV1 systems are a bit complex for smaller churches, but even x32 can be too complex for them to make work at their best sound.

[@atwomey12]

What is the approximate cost? Looks like an awesome unit.

[@weddingsbyhamilton]

8k

[@TerenceKearns]

Most people will also need at least 1 stage box.

[@jwillbassist]

plug-in from other brands can be installed ?

[@BrianSimmons]

Not at this time.

[@johnmcvicker6728]

Are there any possibilities of try-before-buy? Will integrators possibly have samples to let customers try out? Also, these videos state "expandability" - why not show it in the video itself with a 2nd faderbank added or 2nd screen with "A2 position" or "monitor mix" position displayed.

[@waves]

You can reach out to your local dealer and see if they offer that.

[@jok3r9807]

🔥🔥

[@AK-IT]

Does Waves support Dante?

[@BrianSimmons]

No. Now that being said, there are several "bridges" or Waves/Dante converters offered by different manufactures, but that is an external device that must be purchased separately.

[@zaharishtonov]

@1:33 - What's up with the lens effect you guys? It's like I am looking at a wizard's crystal ball or something 😂

[@osiastedian]

I think it would much more impactful if they support existing stage boxes like the DL-32 from Midas natively so that House of Worship could slowly upgrade their gear, piece by priece.

[@DrGrooveBeat]

What’s the song? 😉

[@sanyetartar8704]

❤🇲🇲

[@trixdropd]

$8k, super affordable to small churches lol

[@brybigdog]

Right? And don’t forget the stage boxes, oh and a server for when you run out of processing power.

[@isaiahbernal]

bang for the buck , booooo. get the new wing and they don't Nickel and dime you for add ons

[@AlexeyF-hb2]

Those preamps on a FOH board are useless to pay for. Most of the cases on FOH you need 1 input for talkback and 2 inputs for background music/playback. Could be a more affordable unit without these useless I/O. We need them on stage, not on FOH!
