Waves DSPro StageGrid 1000 Compact 10 In/8 Out SoundGrid Expansion Unit

About: Waves DSPro StageGrid 1000 Compact 10 In/8 Out SoundGrid Expansion Unit

DSPro StageGrid 1000 is a compact I/O device for eMotion LV1 live mixing systems. It features eight analog mic/line inputs and four balanced analog outputs, plus one channel of AES/EBU digital I/O. All channels are digitally controlled. There are two headphone outs with independent volume controls. All components are carefully selected and tested to ensure continuous system stability and maximum dependability. Built in a compact, robust 1U rack-mountable chassis, DSPro StageGrid 1000 provides a seamless solution for live sound applications, coupled with the modularity and power of SoundGrid technology. 

SoundGrid is the Waves high-speed networking protocol for moving audio, clock, and other information between a host system and I/O devices—and between I/O devices themselves. A SoundGrid host manages the network and assigns servers and I/O devices to mix, process, and record, depending on the host. All SoundGrid devices connect to the host with standard Ethernet cable.

SoundGrid is scalable. Connect one I/O device to a DAW and you have a high-quality sound card. Add more I/Os and your system becomes more flexible and powerful. Depending on the host application, a SoundGrid host can assign up to sixteen I/O devices. Complete SoundGrid systems can be networked together to share devices. 

Add a server to a SoundGrid system to offload plugin processing from the host CPU to a SoundGrid DSP server. This dramatically increases processing power and enables greater plugin counts, as well as providing very low system latency.
