SKAARHOJ Wave Board IP audio control panel

SKAARHOJ Wave Board

SKAARHOJ Wave Board is a networked fader bank for controlling audio processors, mixers, DSPs, audio software and other applications that need tactile faders, such as lighting control and camera shading. It has eight SKAARHOJ channel strips, each with an OLED level meter display, a motorised fader, an encoder and dedicated 2-way buttons, plus four 4-way buttons to toggle through layers or menus and fire snapshots.

Wave Board is not USB-based and needs no computer: connected to the network, it communicates bidirectionally with the controlled device, including live level meters, so it can also be placed in remote locations and control rooms. With Blue Pill inside you can select ready-made mappings or assign every component to the parameter you want, building several layers with the channel selection tool.

Wave Board works with any other SKAARHOJ device: with a Wave Board Mini it forms a 12-channel surface, and several Wave Boards, Wave Board Minis and Color Flys can be combined into a larger surface that works as one or as separate devices.
