Waves SOUNDGRID WSG Bridge for Dante is a 1U rackmount network bridge that connects Waves SoundGrid and Dante protocols, providing up to 64 bidirectional audio channels between the two networks at sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. This enables you to add powerful real‑time Waves plug‑in processing to any Dante‑based system without redesigning your existing infrastructure.
WSG Bridge for Dante is fluent in both SoundGrid and Dante, so you can easily route channels from your Dante network into a SoundGrid server for DSP processing and back to any Dante destination. It is designed for demanding live sound, broadcast and fixed‑installation environments where rock‑solid performance and ultra‑low latency are critical.
By integrating the Waves SOUNDGRID WSG Bridge for Dante, consoles, stageboxes and other Dante devices become part of the Waves ecosystem, including SuperRack, eMotion LV1 and other SoundGrid hosts. You gain access to a vast collection of Waves plug‑ins for mixing, dynamics, EQ, reverbs and analog‑style coloration, while the optional redundant power and rugged 1U chassis ensure reliability on the road and in the studio.
