SKAARHOJ Wave Board Mini IP audio control panel

SKAARHOJ Wave Board Mini

SKAARHOJ Wave Board Mini is a networked fader bank for controlling audio processors, audio mixers, DSPs, audio software and any other application that needs tactile faders, such as lighting control or camera shading. It has four 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 move through layers or menus or to fire snapshots.

The panel is IP-based, not USB-based: it does not need a computer to talk to the controlled device. It is connected to the network and sends and receives commands directly, including live level meters where supported. Like every SKAARHOJ panel it has Blue Pill inside, the Linux-based engine that lets you use ready-made mappings or assign every fader, button and encoder to the exact parameter you need, with several layers (for example DSP inputs and outputs on one layer, broadcast audio levels and lighting on another).

Wave Board Mini works as a compact standalone desk or as an extension of Wave Board, Color Fly or any other SKAARHOJ panel, for example to give a vision mixer operator faders for audio.
