Waves WRC-1 V2 WiFi Stage Router

The WRC-1 router is ideal for use with the Waves MyMon personal monitor mixing app, as well as other audio setups that require secure and robust WiFi connectivity.

To serve the unique needs of live sound engineers, stage productions and other live audio and AV environments, WRC-1 offers unique benefits that go beyond standard router features: rack-mountable design, made specifically for audio equipment racks; rugged and robust industrial build; and stronger RF distribution to secure dependable, steady communication.

WRC-1 comes with basic router management software to control the most common features required by users. In addition, an advanced set of router configuration features is accessible by installing a free advanced firmware package (scroll all the way down this page for details).

WRC-1 can also be used for DLNA playback from mobile devices (iOS, Android) and external computers (macOS, Windows). When connected to a mixer, the DLNA player allows anyone on stage (e.g. band members) to easily stream a music file from their mobile device directly to the mixing console.
