Pristine Sound Powered by
Waves Signature Preamps

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.

Step Up to Superior Stagebox Sound

  • Unmatched Preamp Performance with Waves Signature Preamps

    The key to IONIC 24’s sound are the newly designed Waves Signature Preamps: fully discreet, high-end analog circuits, designed to handle any signal you throw at them with full confidence. The gain structure is meticulously designed to deliver a wide dynamic range and handle bigger signals, with practically no restraints. The result is plenty of headroom, transients that do not clip, and an extremely low noise floor—for an incredibly clean, punchy sound.

    Features: Unmatched Preamp Performance with Waves Signature Preamps

  • Give Sources Timeless Analog Warmth

    Waves Signature Preamps deliver a rich, full-bodied sound usually found only in high-end mixing consoles, without compromising any of the punch or clarity, using its analog modeled HMX harmonic enhancer. The harmonic enhancer can also be turned on or off per input, with ‘off’ providing a more neutral sound.

    Features: Give Sources Timeless Analog Warmth

  • Crystal Clear Outputs with Extra Headroom

    Whether you are powering stage wedges that compete with the drummer, a full rack of in-ears transmitters, or a PA system of any size or quality, IONIC’s 18 powerful outputs and two independent headphone outs deliver super-clear results with plenty of headroom.

    Features: Crystal Clear Outputs with Extra Headroom

  • Seamless Integration with the eMotion LV1 Live Mixer

    IONIC 24 provides seamless connectivity to any eMotion LV1 system, ensuring quick and easy setup without wasting time on manual configurations. IONIC’s control panel is available in the LV1’s device rack, letting you control various parameters in your preamps and outputs directly from the mixer, without missing a beat.

    Features: Seamless Integration with the eMotion LV1 Live Mixer

  • Get More Out of Your Stage Mics

    The preamp section’s analog impedance selector allows you to choose the mic reaction you want. Choose between a classic 2kΩ and a modern 7kΩ, for greater sonic flexibility.
