Your Mixer.Your Design.

The LV1’s modular design lets you mix-and-match your hardware setup – from choosing your preferred number of screens and controllers, to your choice of I/O count, DSP servers and more.

Have all your channels laid out in front of you in a super-system with multiple screens and controllers. Or stay portable with as little as a laptop. Or choose anything in between.

It’s your LV1 – build it the way you want it.
