One I/O
In this example, one Allen & Heath M-Waves expansion card is used to connect a console to the SoundGrid host
application SoundGrid ASIO/Core Audio driver for plugin processing and/or DAW playback/recording. The interface is
connected directly to the host using a Cat 5e Ethernet cable or better.
SoundGrid host computer
A&H console with SoundGrid I/O
The host computer’s LAN port that’s connected to the SoundGrid network should be used for SoundGrid only. Do not
share this port with the internet or other networks.
In this configuration, all plugin processing is carried out on the host computer. The speed and power of the host defines
overall latency.
