CA3000-MX offers powerful mixing and built-in processing capabilities that can upgrade the sound of any installed audio system; it also offers the option to expand processing, by adding plugins from Waves’ massive catalog. The CA3000-MX system is compatible with standard ASIO audio or Dante® network configurations.CA3000-MX is ideal for any corporate, commercial, government, educational or house-of-worship installation that demands a high level of audio quality and advanced processing flexibility. Housed in a compact half-width 2U rack-mount chassis, CA3000-MX couples a powerful digital audio processing engine with an install-ready version of the industry-proven Waves eMotion LV1 mixer, supporting up to 32 stereo inputs, 24 stereo aux mix outputs plus L/R/C/M outs, and a 12×8 stereo matrix. Integration and setup of the system is simple: CA3000-MX integrates easily with standard ASIO audio device drivers, or with Dante® Virtual Soundcard (DVS) audio networking.Integrators can add any desired Waves plugins to the CA3000-MX, to customize the processing to their specific needs.
