Wave Board
Universal IP-based Audio Control Panel
A cutting-edge networked fader bank designed to seamlessly control audio processors, mixers, DSPs, audio software, and a variety of other applications requiring tactile faders, such as lighting control and camera shading. This innovative controller features eight unique SKAARHOJ channel strips, each equipped with a vibrant OLED level meter display, smooth motorized fader, precise encoder, and dedicated 2-way buttons. Additionally, four versatile 4-way buttons enable users to easily toggle through layers or menus and fire snapshots, delivering unmatched flexibility and convenience.
Tiny Yet Powerful Audio Mixing Surface
Experience a new approach to audio mixing. You can specify which devices you want to control, assign channels for each channel bank, and choose parameters for encoders and buttons. We have collaborated with major players in the audio world, such as Q-SYS, Biamp, DirectOut, Waves, Yamaha, Digico, and more. Offering a versatile main control solution for rack-mounted engines and serving as an auxiliary fader bank, this device combines the functionality of purpose-built panels with the flexibility of universal controllers.
Yes - those Faders are Motorized
With Wave Board, you enter a new world of universal mixing. The Danish-designed SKAARHOJ signature hardware makes it a unique piece of equipment. Eight precise motorized faders with comprehensive displays showing live level meters make your audio mixing simple and efficient. Combining this with other powerful and unique components, such as 4-way buttons, dynamically color-coded encoders, and customizable screens displaying real-time parameter values, will make other control solutions a thing of the past.
Break Free From the Limitations of USB Cables
Unlike any other “universal” controller Wave Board is not USB-based and doesn’t require a computer to communicate with the controlled device. Just connect it to your network and enjoy bi-directional communication with your controlled device (including live level meters) Ideal solution for placing the controller in distant locations, for truly remote workflows and professional control rooms.
Build Your Ideal Controller One Layer at a Time
Like any other SKAARHOJ device, Wave Board features our Linux-based engine, Blue Pill Inside. It allows you to either use our ready-to-go mappings and simply select which devices you wish to control, or to build your own meticulous setup with every single hardware component controlling the exact parameter you want. Using our channel selection tool, you can build a very advanced surface in a few minutes. One layer can control inputs and outputs from the DSP, while another layer can control audio levels in your broadcast system and adjust lighting.
Need More Faders? We’ve Got You Covered
Eight faders might not be enough, but guess what - we have a solution for that! Wave Board can work seamlessly with any other SKAARHOJ device. A great companion is the Wave Board Mini, which adds four faders and additional buttons. Together, these two units create a 12-channel surface. Need more? Just combine multiple Wave Boards, Wave Board Minis, and Color Flys to build your own custom surface. When combined, they can operate as a single seamless control surface or as individual devices. The choice is always yours.
