WSG Waves Soundgrid Extreme Server

WSG Waves Soundgrid Extreme Server

The most powerful SoundGrid DSP Server ever, Waves SoundGrid Extreme is pumped up and ready to tackle your heaviest processing challenges. Try these numbers on for size: SoundGrid Extreme can run over 500 instances of Waves stereo SSL E-Channel or C4 Multiband Compressor plugins, with latency as low as 0.8 milliseconds! Featuring an Intel® i7 Extreme microprocessor which delivers over 40% more power than the SoundGrid Server One, and housed in a rugged road-ready 2U chassis, the Extreme DSP Server is a massive upgrade to any SoundGrid system.

Benchmarks :

IR-Live: 18 instances
L3 Multimaximizer: 64 instances
C4 Mono: 288 instances

Compatibility: Mac or Windows

The benchmarks (left) are for general reference, and illustrate how many plugin Racks and plugins can be run on this particular server. The following plugins were used for these tests: C4, SSL E-Channel, IR-Live, and L3 Multimaximizer. Each Rack was fully loaded with a specific plugin until maximum load was reached. WSG-Y16 cards were used as audio interfaces in these tests.
