eMotion LV1 80-Channel Expansion is an optional Waves software upgrade that grows a 64-channel LV1 console to 80 stereo channels, 160 inputs and 52 buses.
The eMotion LV1 80-Channel Expansion is built for engineers who have outgrown a 64-channel LV1 setup. It applies to both LV1 Classic and software-based LV1 64-channel systems. Once installed, the console gains 16 additional channels, and because each channel can run as mono or stereo, the total input count rises to 160. The upgrade also adds eight buses that you can assign as monitor auxes or audio groups, giving you more flexibility for large productions.
The expansion takes an LV1 64-channel console to 80 stereo channels. Because any channel can be mono (one input) or stereo (two inputs), the console can handle up to 160 inputs.
The upgrade also adds eight buses, bringing the total to 52. The console supports up to 24 monitor auxes and up to 16 audio groups, so you can allocate the new buses to whichever role your session needs.
The expansion is aimed at users who already run a 64-channel LV1 system and need more channels or routing capacity for larger shows. You will need a 64-channel LV1, either LV1 Classic or an LV1 64-channel software license, before the upgrade can be applied.
Waves describes the upgrade as an easy software update. It is optional, so it only matters if your current LV1 setup is at its channel or bus limit.
