About SoundGrid and the Allen & Heath M-Waves Card
SoundGrid is a scalable infrastructure that provides a variety of cost-effective, high-quality solutions for recording studios. It can be
configured in many ways and with many hardware possibilities to provide a very flexible work environment. This framework is man-
aged by the SoundGrid Studio Application, which configures the network, assigns and manages I/Os, controllers and servers, and
patches audio throughout the system. Any user, anywhere on the SoundGrid network, has access to any of the network’s I/O devic-
es. Adding a SoundGrid DSP server enables recording and monitoring with very low latency and moves processing away from the
host computer to the server.
The M-Waves card for Allen & Heath iLIVE and GLD consoles enables integration with Waves SoundGrid systems via a single Ethernet
cable, allowing live sound engineers to use the SoundGrid networking technology for low-latency plugin processing, multitrack
recording and playback, and audio networking. M-Waves V2 also features Clock Sync-over-Ethernet for syncing multiple consoles
and performing digital splits.
