Quick Start Guide

7 Emotion LV1 Mixer | Quick Start
STEP 1: INSTALL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
The eMotion LV1 mixer can process a very large number of plugins at the same time, with very low latency. To make this possible,
all plugin processing is carried out on a high-speed server, not on the host computer. This server works as part of a Waves
SoundGrid network, so the rst step in setting up the mixer is to congure the network.
Hardware Components
A SoundGrid network consists of at least four hardware elements:
> Host computer: The mixer and the SoundGrid network run on Mac and Windows. Visit the Waves website for hardware and
operating system requirements.
> SoundGrid server
> At least one SoundGrid I/O device
> SoundGrid 1Gb Ethernet switch
Connecting the Hardware
Use a SoundGrid Ethernet switch and Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 Ethernet cables to connect all hardware components. Sync is carried
over Ethernet, so there is usually no need for external clock cables. Consult the Waves support site for cable specications.
