Tuning

Hands-on adjustments to algorithm controls to achieve a sound signature for each device based on industry benchmarks, industrial design, and skilled artistry.

Masterful artistry combined with acoustic science

With deep roots in professional audio, precision device
tuning is at the heart of the Waves mission.

Our first step with any device is to integrate our solutions. From there, Waves sound engineers use proprietary software, the Maxx Tuning Console, to tweak hundreds of digital knobs, sliders, and buttons to achieve optimal sound quality from the device speakers and microphones.

It’s the tech, the algorithms, that makes great sound possible, but it’s the tuning that makes sound extraordinary. Tuning, delivered as presets made for movie watching, music listening, conference calling, and more, is both art
and science.
