Bring Professional-Level Sound to Any Live Environment
Mix and Process in AV Installations
The Waves CA3000-MX is ideal for any single-room or multi-zone installation that demands superior audio quality and flexibility, thanks to the powerful DSP engine and an install-ready version of the Waves eMotion LV1 mixer.
Add Plugins to Solve Any Audio Challenges
Integrators can add the same Waves plugins used by broadcasters, recording studios, and major live shows worldwide, to customize the processing and solve any audio issue—from feedback suppression, dynamic control, and source leveling, to noise reduction, acoustic response, and streaming optimization.
Dugan Speech Automixing
The optional Dugan Speech automixer controls multiple mic gains automatically, in real time, to reduce noise, feedback, and comb filtering from adjacent mics. It’s ideal for conferences, panel discussions, faith-based events, etc.
Flexible Mixing Configurations
To handle installation requirements from multiple mics to streaming audio, the LV1 mixer supports up to 32 stereo inputs, 24 stereo aux mix outputs and L/R/C/M outs, and incorporates a 12x8 stereo matrix.
Lock Customized Presets for Safety
End users can easily recall preconfigured, fully customized audio scene and snapshot settings using the mRecall iOS/Android-compatible mobile app. With this mRecall, there’s no need to have access to an equipment rack.
Solution Example: House of Worship
Small and mid-size churches rely on volunteers to operate the sound system for services and events. These gatherings may include a variety of wired and wireless microphones, instruments, and media playback devices. In these installations, the final mix is usually sent to a main room PA system, an adjacent room or lobby area, and online streaming and digital recording devices.
A small church may only require a few inputs and outputs, but still desire professional quality sound reinforcement. Furthermore, a network-connected audio system may be too complex and add cost to a slim budget. Waves CA3000-MX provides integrators with a flexible and easy-to-use audio mixer that delivers outstanding sound quality for the on-site and online congregation. A standard ASIO driver and I/O box can be used to connect all audio equipment directly to the mixer.
The CA3000-MX also supports the FIT Controller which allows the volunteers to use a more traditional set of faders and knobs in addition to the touch screen capability of the LV1 mixer.
Integrators can program and save custom scenes based on the inputs and outputs needed, so that the volunteer operators can easily recall and use as needed for each event. An output bus can also be assigned and configured the streaming mix with a customized plugin processing chain that is optimized for online listening.
Solution Example: Corporate Presentation Room
Corporations and public utility providers have on-site presentation rooms that not only serve a local audience, but also support online streaming of the sessions. These presentations may feature one or more speakers, and often include discussion panels with multiple participants. With a variety of people using microphones during the sessions, in addition to making the audio available to the online audience, it is important to minimize unwanted noise and feedback from the microphones that may be in use around the room.
The Waves CA3000-MX can be easily installed and configured by the integrator to meet the unique needs of the facility. For example, discussion panel mics can be routed to Dugan automatic mixing and processing (purchase option). The Dugan processing automatically controls the gains of multiple mics in real time to maintain a consistent output level across all mic channels and reduce feedback and cross-filtering effects from adjacent microphones. Other mics and playback systems can also be processed and routed in the mixer to provide the best audio quality to both the on-site PA and the online streaming channel.
Solution Example: Commercial Restaurant/Bar
Restaurants and bars install AV systems for a variety of purposes, but always desire to have consistent sound levels that can be easily set depending on the room area/zone or purpose. A typical installation will setup a primary zone that provides ambient background music for table guests, with additional zones serving separate areas such as bars, private rooms and kitchen/prep halls.
The Waves CA3000-MX gives integrators the choice of using standard ASIO audio interfaces or Dante® network audio devices in the room design. Smaller venues may benefit from the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of ASIO, while more complex installations with many zones may be better suited with network audio routing.

Setups
Typical Setup with Waves CA3000-MX and ASIO
The above illustration shows a typical installation project using a standard ASIO interface. The Waves CA3000-MX provides mixer processing for multiple mics and a playback device. The mixer matrix outputs drive a multi-zone installation consisting of PA speakers in the main room and several ceiling-mount speakers in the lobby.
The CA3000-MX includes high-quality audio DSP functions including equalizers and dynamics. Installations that require automatic mixing of several microphones (such as corporate and government discussion panels) may add the optional Dugan Speech automixer plugin for automatic control of multiple mic gains. Dugan Speech integrates smoothly into the CA3000-MX and can be set up easily to auto-mix all of the available input channels.
Typical Setup with Waves CA3000-MX and Dante®
The above illustration shows a typical installation project using a Dante® network. In this example, multiple mics and an audio player are connected to a Dante® stage box and routed on the network using Dante® Controller.
The Waves CA3000-MX provides audio processing for each channel with outputs sent from the matrix mixers to audio amplifiers on the network. Wireless and wired mics are processed independently in the mixer, with precision audio plugins configured by the integrator to manage each mic type and use.
Two matrix outputs are used to provide independent mixes to the amps for each zone: PA speakers in the main room and a series of ceiling-mount speakers in the lobby. In addition to the zones in the facility, the CA3000-MX also provides a third matrix (stereo) as the audio mix connected to an online streaming computer.
Remote Control with the mRecall App
Pre-programmed settings on Waves Commercial Audio devices can be remotely controlled from iOS and Android mobile phones and tablets, via the Waves mRecall mobile app.
To connect to mRecall, your Waves CA device (1) must be connected to a wireless router (2). This allows the end-user to switch settings with their phone or tablet (3).
To set up mRecall with your Waves CA system:
Make sure that your mobile device (with mRecall installed) and your Waves CA system are both connected to the same wi-fi network.
In your Waves CA application, go to the Setup tab > System Inventory > Controls. Under Controls, add “MyRemote.” This will allow a mobile app to connect.
Back on your mobile device, open the mRecall app.
Once connected, mRecall will show the list of scenes available from the Waves CA application’s show file, as well as the current scene separately at the top of the screen, so you know which one is active.
Regardless of whether you change scene from the CA application or the mRecall app, the current scene will be updated in real time on the app.
