Powered by the latest-generation Intel Skylake Core i7 CPU, the Waves SoundGrid Extreme Server-C is a dedicated audio processing unit with one mission: running your plug-ins. This offloads all plug-in processing tasks from your computer to the server, allowing the use of more plug-ins in your productions without any restrictions imposed by the power of your computer’s CPU. With SoundGrid Connect — included in the server’s accompanying software — almost any audio interface can “speak” to SoundGrid, so you don’t have to replace your existing gear in order to power your sessions with SoundGrid.
Handles the grunt work, so you don’t have to
Take it from us: Whether you’re mixing front-of-house or tracking in the studio, real-time plug-in processing is essential. With latency whittled down to an ultra-low 0.8ms at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz, SoundGrid Extreme Server-C handles the grunt work at lightning-fast speeds, leaving you to job one: whipping up a killer mix. Extreme Server-C’s roadworthy, all-metal 2U chassis is only half the width of a standard 19" rack, so you can rackmount either a single server using rack ears, or mount two servers side by side on a rack shelf.
