Add I/Os 

Adding 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. Use a "star" network configuration with a 1GB Ethernet switch when you need more 
connections than the interface card provides. Only use switches tested and approved by Waves.

See this 

support article

 for a list of supported switches. 

 

You can connect and assign up to 16 SoundGrid I/O devices to the network, depending on the SoundGrid host 
application. You can also add more computers to enable audio streaming between hosts.

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 

waves.com hardware pages

 to learn more about SoundGrid servers. Consult 

your host application user guide to learn how to configure additional I/Os and servers.
