Waves Audio has announced the first products in its new Waves Commercial Audio (Waves CA) line – the Waves CA1000 and CA2000 Commercial Audio DSP Engines.
Each audio DSP engine is a single-box software-plus-hardware turnkey solution, featuring a number of Waves processors, with professionally pre-configured, integrator-ready audio processing presets. Waves CA products enable A/V system integrators and installers to deliver sound for corporate, commercial, government, educational, entertainment, sports and house-of-worship installations.
The CA1000 and CA2000 engines help solve common audio challenges and integrate easily into new or existing A/V installations using Dante audio networking. They include 19 professionally curated audio processing presets that solve challenges with playback quality, speech intelligibility via a wide array of microphones and amplification systems, feedback elimination and voice processing without loss of tonality. These presets are based on low-latency plug-ins, that can be further customised and stored by the integrator based on their unique room or zone requirements. They are designed to tame and control common problems that can occur at installations with media playback, wireless mics, meeting room/table mics, lectern/pulpit mics and broadcast/streaming.
Each of the presets can be modified and locked-in by the installer for individual channels, groups or zones, to deliver optimal results based on the IO, PA and room.
A/V installers and integrators can configure the CA1000 to process up to 16x16 bidirectional audio channels, and the CA2000 can be configured to process up to 64x64 bidirectional audio channels over the Dante network.
The CA1000 and CA2000 are both surface and rack-mountable.
