ROTECTION
It is highly recommended that the Waves CA1000 is installed in a rack with a power protection device, such as
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The UPS should include a power status notification mechanism,
typically a USB connection and software driver for the protected device.
Installing the system with the UPS status notification allows monitoring of the source power. In the event of a
power failure, the UPS will trigger a managed shutdown of the CA1000 and the Windows operating
environment.
Routing Setup
All devices should be properly connected and powered on.
The CA1000 will automatically load all required drivers
and software and launch SuperRack.
Channel Patching and Routing Overview
All audio channels are routed to and from the CA1000 using either the Dante network or the ASIO interface. For
Dante installations, audio channel routing is completed using the internal rack audio patching on SuperRack, and the
external Dante patching, using the Dante Controller (or another compatible routing application).
