IONIC 24

Description

Introducing Waves IONIC 24: the pinnacle of sound quality for live performances.

Experience unparalleled punch and clarity, ensuring your sound stands out in any scenario. Engineered for excellence, IONIC 24 is crafted to enhance every input, from vocals to snare drums, delivering superb sound quality with uncompromising precision.

At the heart of IONIC 24 are Waves Signature Preamps—originally designed preamps with fully discrete analog circuits. Waves Signature Preamps deliver maximum headroom, lightning-fast transient response, and an incredibly low noise floor, plus your choice between transparent preamp sound and added rich harmonic enhancement per input.

IONIC 24 is the perfect I/O expansion for the eMotion LV1 live mixing console, complementing the LV1’s already exceptional sonic performance and ensuring quick and easy setup.
