Add I/Os
Adding SoundGrid I/O devices not only increases the number of I/O channels, but lets you have separate devices for
stage and FOH, or live room and control room. When you have more than one device in the SoundGrid network, use a
"star" network configuration with a 1GB Ethernet switch. Only use switches tested and approved by Waves.

You can connect and assign up to 16 SoundGrid I/O devices to the network, depending on the SoundGrid Host
Application. All SoundGrid I/O devices, hosts, and servers are connected through the Ethernet switch. You can also add
more computers to enable streaming between hosts. Two Hear Back PRO cards can be populated per Hub to allow A/B
input switching between two banks of 16 channels and up to four cards can be populated to allow A/B input switching, as
well as a second set of dedicated SoundGrid outputs.

To add a server to your SoundGrid system, just connect it to the Ethernet switch and configure it in your host application.
This moves all DSP processing from the host computer to the server, which provides a higher plugin count and enables
the eMotion LV1 and ST mixers. Visit the
to learn more about SoundGrid servers. Consult
your SoundGrid host application’s user guide to learn about using servers.
