Introduction
SoundStudio STG-1608 is a rugged stage box with 16 analog mic/line inputs and 8 line outputs. It’s designed for both
stage and studio applications. There are connectors for AES, MIDI, word clock, and a SoundGrid-compliant Ethernet
port. All connections on this 3U rack-mountable device are on the front panel, except the mains connection and power
switch, which are on the rear panel.
SoundGrid is the Waves high-speed networking protocol for moving audio, clock, and other information between a host
system and I/O devices—and between I/O devices themselves. A SoundGrid host manages the network and assigns
servers and I/O devices to mix, process, and record, depending on the host. All SoundGrid devices connect to the host
with standard Ethernet cable.
SoundGrid is scalable. Connect one I/O device to a DAW and you have a high-quality sound card. Add more I/Os and
your system becomes more flexible and powerful. Depending on the host application, a SoundGrid host can assign up to
sixteen I/O devices. Complete SoundGrid systems can be networked together to share devices.
Add a server to a SoundGrid system to offload plugin processing from the host CPU to a SoundGrid DSP server. This
dramatically increases processing power and enables greater plugin counts, as well as providing very low system
latency.
