“Wavetool really simplified the monitoring on the The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo this year, and with one of the busiest and complicated mic plots ever (over 500 pack swaps in each performance) it was really the only option for us. It was also really great to add the IEM feeds into it so we could remotely check what the transmitters were receiving. I was won over when I specified it for Sting's The Last Ship

What is Wavetool?
Wavetool is a professional audio monitoring and listening software for audio engineers. With Wavetool you can quickly find microphones with problems, low battery or no signal. Walk freely around the stage while streaming to your iOS device with the Wavetool Remote app.
Wavetool has the tools for the sound team gathered in one application. The SCP algorithm helps you find weird noises in your sources before they can be heard in the mix. The Instant Replay lets you listen to the history and examine the noises.
