An Install-ready, 16-channel Commercial Mixer

Tailor-made for single- and multi-zone AV installations, the Waves CA3000-MX 16 is an install-ready, 16-channel digital mixer with built-in, studio-grade DSP for running the company's industry-leading plug-ins. This rack- and surface-mountable mixer includes a license for the eMotion LV1 audio mixer, and you can easily add your favorite preamps, microphones, line source, amplifiers, and speakers. Beyond that, you get comprehensive ASIO and Dante compatibility, smooth Dugan Speech automixer integration, control over pre-configured, customized scenes with the mRecall mobile app, and lock-tight compatibility with industry-standard controllers, including the Waves FIT. The CA3000-MX 16 comes with four eMo plug-ins to get you started, and you can expand your processing options by adding more from Waves' massive catalog.

Gives you everything you need

The Waves CA3000-MX 16 is a commercial mixer and processing engine that's ripe for installation. This rackmountable unit boasts 16 mono/stereo input channels, as well as eight mono/stereo aux mix channels, an L/R mono/stereo matrix, and a 12 x 8 mono/stereo matrix. ASIO and Dante support makes integration a piece of cake. You also get four bread-and-butter plug-ins: eMo D5 Dynamics, eMo F2 Filter, eMo Q4 Equalizer, and eMo Generator. Here at Sweetwater, we've found that the Waves CA3000-MX 16 gives you everything you need for your single- or multi-zone AV installation.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Since the early days of DAW software, Waves has been a dominating force in music and audio production. For those of us here at Sweetwater who've been recording since the industry switched over to computer-based studios, it's impossible to imagine sessions without L series Ultramaximizers, MaxxBass, and other staples. Since then, we've been impressed every time Waves has brought top producers such as Jack Joseph Puig and Chris Lord-Alge to Sweetwater to show off their next cutting-edge creations, and Waves is constantly adding new and innovative plug-ins to their catalog. And with cool new gear such as their SoundGrid series, Sweetwater engineers have discovered just how easy it is to use Waves plug-ins live.
