Waves Audio is now shipping Clarix LB: an AI-powered noise reduction plug-in for voice, designed to instantly clean ambient noise in real-time broadcast environments. Clarix LB is suitable for on-location anchors, reporters, live-streamed worship services, or any live voice capture scenario.

With Waves' new Clarix LB, engineers can now experience instant ambient noise cleanup for live broadcast. Clarix LB is compatible with the Waves SoundGrid processing platform as well as the SuperRack LiveBox, making it suited for real-time live broadcast workflows. This plug-in can run on any major mixing console via Waves SuperRack SoundGrid and SuperRack Performer, or SoundGrid Rack for VENUE, or on the Waves eMotion LV1 (including the LV1 Classic mixing console).

The plug-in's AI noise reduction is powered by the same Technology and Engineering Emmy Award-winning Waves Neural Networks engine that drives Waves' latest generation of noise removal plugins for studio and live applications, such as Clarity Vx Pro.

Because Clarix LB uses Waves' neural network noise removal engine in real time, it requires significant processing power. To ensure stable performance across all SoundGrid platforms -- eMotion LV1 (Classic or any other configurations), SuperRack, or SoundGrid Rack for VENUE: a Waves Titan SoundGrid server is required for real-time SoundGrid processing.

Features include an AI engine powered by Technology and Engineering Emmy-winning Waves Neural Networks; soundGrid-compatible for use in Waves SuperRack and eMotion LV1; users can choose the exact voice/noise balance with a single knob; large UI, ideal for easy broadcast control; up to 96kHz sample rate; 47 ms latency; "double" analysis plus width control for stereo sources; and requires Waves Titan server for real-time SoundGrid processing.

Clarix LB has been added to the Waves Ultimate plug-in subscription, which includes the comprehensive Waves plug-in catalog (over 240 plug-ins) as monthly or annual subscriptions. It is also available for purchase as a separate plug-in (perpetual license).
