Technology and Application
Discover how the Lakhovsky MultiWave Oscillator works, explore the principles behind its technology, and learn how the MIXMWO-1 expands upon Lakhovsky’s original concept through modern electronics and selectable frequency modulation.
What is the Lakhovsky MWO?
The Lakhovsky MultiWave Oscillator (MWO) is a device based on the pioneering work of Georges Lakhovsky, who in the early 20th century developed the theory that living cells possess natural oscillatory characteristics and can interact with electromagnetic frequencies.
The fundamental idea behind the MWO is not to apply a single predetermined frequency, but to create a broad electromagnetic frequency environment with which biological systems may interact according to their own natural resonant characteristics.
Our MIXMWO-1 is a modern interpretation of Lakhovsky’s original concept. It preserves the fundamental MultiWave principle while incorporating developments in modern electronics for greater stability, efficiency and operational flexibility.
In addition, the MIXMWO-1 provides the ability to select and modulate individual carrier frequencies within a range of 1–125,000 Hz. This allows specific frequency ranges to be explored while the device continues to perform its fundamental MultiWave function.
A comprehensive Frequency Catalog is provided as a reference for users who wish to explore these additional frequency-based applications.
Principles of Balance and Renewal
MWO technology acts on the fundamental vibrational patterns of the organism, supporting a return to a state of energy balance and vitality.
Resonance
The MWO generates a broad spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies. According to Lakhovsky's theoretical model, this allows living cells to interact through resonance with frequencies corresponding to their own natural oscillatory characteristics.
Energy
Electrical and electromagnetic processes are fundamental to cellular activity. The MultiWave concept is based on providing an electromagnetic environment intended to support the body's natural bioelectrical balance.
Regeneration
Normal cellular maintenance and regeneration depend on numerous biological and energy-dependent processes. Within the Lakhovsky concept, the MultiWave environment is intended to support the conditions associated with these natural processes.
Harmony
Rather than targeting an isolated biological process, Lakhovsky viewed the organism as an interconnected system. The MultiWave approach therefore focuses on creating a broad frequency environment intended to support overall bioelectrical and energetic balance.
Important: Cell Membrane Potential
A healthy, differentiated cell typically maintains a negative membrane potential, often around −70 mV, although exact values vary depending on cell type and physiological state. This electrical potential is fundamental to ion transport, cellular signaling, nutrient exchange and many other biological processes.
With aging, cellular stress and various pathological processes, membrane potential may become progressively less negative. Values around −50 mV are often associated with reduced cellular activity, while further depolarization toward approximately −30 mV may accompany disturbed cellular function, inflammation or tissue stress.
More pronounced depolarization, including values approaching −15 mV, has been observed in a number of severely altered and malignant cellular states. Complete loss of membrane potential, approaching 0 mV, is incompatible with normal cellular function and is associated with cell death.
These values should be understood as representative bioelectrical ranges rather than universal diagnostic cut-offs, since membrane potential differs among cell types and physiological conditions.
MWO and Cellular Bioelectricity
The Lakhovsky MultiWave Oscillator is based on the concept of creating a broad electromagnetic frequency environment capable of interacting with the natural oscillatory and bioelectrical characteristics of living cells.
Within this model, the purpose of the MWO is to support conditions associated with normal cellular electrical balance rather than to impose a predetermined electrical state. By providing a broad spectrum of frequencies, the system is intended to facilitate resonant interaction with the organism’s natural bioelectrical processes.
Protocol for Using the MultiWave Oscillator
We have spent considerable time researching historical and contemporary protocols for working with the MultiWave Oscillator.
One of the main difficulties is the limited amount of reliable and sufficiently detailed material available on this subject. Nevertheless, we have collected and reviewed a substantial number of documents and records originating from hospitals, research organizations, practitioners and other individuals who were directly involved in the use or study of the MWO.
We have also incorporated more recent practical experience, including feedback from our users and our own experience working with the MIXMWO-1.
How to Conduct a Session
Observe and Adjust
The following recommendations provide a basic framework rather than a rigid protocol. Sessions should be adapted to the individual user, the purpose of the session and the specific circumstances.
A calm, quiet and relaxing environment is recommended. This is not a technical requirement for the operation of the device, but it contributes to a more comfortable session. Users sometimes become deeply relaxed or even fall asleep during a session, which is perfectly acceptable.

More importantly, the room should have an adequate supply of fresh air. Whenever possible, keep a window open during the session. In cold weather, when this is impractical, ventilate the room regularly during and between sessions.
The MIXMWO-1 produces considerable air ionization during operation. For this reason, prolonged operation in a completely closed and poorly ventilated room should be avoided.
If sensations such as a metallic taste, headache, respiratory discomfort or light dizziness occur, interrupt the session and ventilate the room thoroughly before continuing.
For additional information, see our section on room ionization.
Historical records concerning the use of the MultiWave Oscillator describe sessions of different durations, most commonly within a range of approximately 10–20 minutes. Individual historical accounts occasionally describe considerably longer exposure times.
Our own recommendations have also evolved through several generations of the MIXMWO system. With earlier generations, sessions of 10–15 minutes were most commonly used, while 20-minute sessions were also explored in practice, particularly when several modulated frequencies were incorporated into the same session.
The fourth and current generation of the MIXMWO-1 represents an important technological step forward.
At the heart of this generation is a newly designed electronic driver developed and manufactured by MIX Electronic specifically for the MIXMWO-1. Its improved efficiency and control of the generated MultiWave field have allowed us to simplify the operating protocol considerably.
For the current fourth-generation MIXMWO-1, there is no operational need to extend a standard session beyond 10 minutes.
MultiWave and Modulated Frequencies
The MIXMWO-1 has a dual operating capability. Alongside its fundamental broadband MultiWave function, individually selected carrier frequencies within the range of 1–125,000 Hz can be used for additional modulation.
With previous generations, we commonly allocated approximately five minutes to an individual modulated frequency. When several frequencies were included, this naturally resulted in longer sessions.
The greater efficiency of the fourth-generation system has changed this approach.
A standard 10-minute session now provides sufficient operating time for the fundamental MultiWave function while also allowing selected modulation frequencies to be incorporated when required.
The exact selection, sequence and rotation of modulation frequencies depend on the purpose of the session and on the individual user. Our Frequency Catalog provides the basic reference framework for selecting these frequencies.
Frequency of Sessions
For general wellness, relaxation, recovery, focus or sports-related applications, sessions may be performed regularly. In our practice, one session per day is normally sufficient.
When the system is used within more demanding individualized protocols, session frequency should be adapted according to the user’s response rather than following a rigid schedule.
This principle has remained consistent throughout our work with the MWO:
Observe. Record. Adjust.
Individual response is one of the most valuable parameters when developing an effective personalized protocol.
Important Operational Note
Our continued work with the fourth-generation MIXMWO-1 has led to several additional refinements in the way sessions are performed.
These details may appear minor, but our latest operational experience indicates that they can make a meaningful difference in optimizing the performance of the system.
For this reason, the complete current operating protocol — including these latest refinements — is provided exclusively to MIXMWO-1 customers.
Certain aspects of this protocol represent proprietary operational know-how developed through our own research, testing and practical experience and are therefore treated as confidential business information.
When discussing the technical setup of a session, the most important consideration is the position of the antennas.
• Antenna height
The recommended position is approximately 70–80 cm from the floor to the center of each antenna.
The reference point is the center of the antenna, not the height of the person seated between the antennas.
When the user is seated on a chair, the lower antenna ring will typically be positioned approximately 60 cm above the floor, while the upper ring will be at approximately 110 cm.
• Horizontal alignment
The two antennas should face each other and remain parallel, with their centers aligned horizontally.
Distance Between the Antennas and the User
In the classic Lakhovsky configuration, the user is positioned between the two antennas.
• Recommended distance from each antenna to the body: approximately 40–60 cm.
• Recommended total distance between the two antennas: approximately 80–120 cm.
This positioning creates a symmetrical working area between the antennas and places the user within the central region of the generated MultiWave field.
Historical descriptions and operating instructions for some MultiWave Oscillator designs frequently recommend removing metallic objects from the user and keeping electronic or electrical devices away from the operating area.
These precautions are particularly associated with traditional MWO constructions in which high-voltage discharge, corona effects or uncontrolled local electrical phenomena may occur.
The MIXMWO-1 operates differently.
Its modern electronic architecture and controlled operating characteristics were specifically developed to provide a stable MultiWave environment without relying on exposed spark discharges or uncontrolled plasma effects.
For this reason, normal personal metallic objects do not need to be removed before a session. Watches, jewelry and other everyday metal objects may remain in place.
Likewise, ordinary electronic devices in the surrounding environment do not interfere with the normal operation of the MIXMWO-1. A mobile phone may remain nearby or be used during a session without affecting the operation of the system.
Nevertheless, for the best overall session experience, we recommend minimizing unnecessary electronic distractions whenever practical.
Core Principles of the MIXMWO-1 MultiWave System
Creative frequencies in the service of regeneration and recovery
The MIXMWO-1 combines the fundamental principle of Lakhovsky’s MultiWave Oscillator with modern electronic control and additional frequency-modulation capabilities.
Its design is based on several key principles that distinguish it both from historical MWO constructions and from many contemporary replicas.
The fundamental MultiWave function always remains the basis of operation: the system creates a broad electromagnetic frequency environment between the antennas. The additional electronic architecture of the MIXMWO-1 makes it possible to combine this broadband field with individually selected modulation frequencies and to control the operating parameters with considerably greater precision.
The current fourth generation introduces a newly designed driver developed and manufactured by MIX Electronic specifically for the MIXMWO-1. This represents the most important technological development of the system to date and has significantly improved its operational efficiency.
