Presentation
The Waves IONIC 24 represents the pinnacle of live audio technology, designed to meet the demands of professional sound engineers and musicians who demand exceptional sound quality.
Built with high-precision components and an architecture optimized for digital mixing, it integrates perfectly into SoundGrid systems and offers immediate connectivity with the eMotion LV1 console. This 3U stagebox features 24 mic/line inputs and 18 analog outputs, allowing total flexibility for managing concerts, live recording or international tours.
At the heart of the IONIC 24 are the Waves Signature preamps, developed with fully discrete analog circuitry to ensure ultra-fast transient response and wide dynamic range.
These preamps guarantee total sonic transparency, and their HMX harmonic modeling option allows to add warmth and character to incoming signals. In addition, each channel benefits from an impedance selector (2kΩ or 7kΩ), offering perfect adaptation to different sound sources.
The IONIC 24 does not only provide high-quality inputs, it also guarantees ultra-precise outputs. With 18 analogue outputs selectable between +18 dBu and +24 dBu, this stagebox adapts to all broadcasting and monitoring systems. Its stereo AES input and output, as well as its two independent headphone outputs, allow precise control in all circumstances.
The integration with eMotion LV1 is a major asset of the IONIC 24. Thanks to its 1Gb Ethernet connection, all control of preamps, outputs and gain levels can be carried out directly from the console, without the need for complex manual configuration. This advantage considerably reduces installation time and optimizes the live workflow.
In terms of robustness, the IONIC 24 is designed to withstand the rigors of touring. Its 3U rack-mountable chassis, combined with an internal auto-switching power supply, guarantees maximum reliability. An optional redundant power supply input is also available, reinforcing safety in the event of a power failure.
The Waves IONIC 24 is an essential choice for sound professionals looking for a high-performance, reliable stagebox with impeccable audio quality. Whether for a large concert, a studio production or a world tour, it offers an incomparable sound experience, combined with seamless integration with SoundGrid.
