About SoundGrid
SoundGrid is Waves’ Audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology which provides extremely
low latency, high channel-count Waves audio processing. Since it uses standard, o-the-shelf network
switches, servers, and computers, it is an extremely cost-eective live sound platform.

SoundGrid Server (SGS)
e SoundGrid Server is the “number cruncher” which performs the audio processing. Audio is streamed
from the card to the server, gets processed at low latency, and is streamed back to the card, according to the
audio connections established using the MultiRack SoundGrid host application.
Waves SoundGrid Server One comes pre-installed with the latest SoundGrid Server soware on an internal
ash disk. If required, the server soware is updated using the SGS Updater soware, which may be
downloaded at www.waveslive.com.
How to Connect
Connecting SoundGrid Server One to a SoundGrid network is easy. Simply connect a CAT6 cable from the
server’s rear panel Ethernet port to your network switch.
